I'm very happy to see our paper out in The EMBO Journal rb.gy/4atb3h Using a CRISPR screen, we find that cylophilin D is a novel #senolytic target, due to its role in buffering excess mitochondrial Ca++ levels. Congrats to all the authors ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ

1. I feel like this is such obvious advice that it's taken for granted & so no one says this to young scientists but READ PAPERS, read all the papers. As you move up in your career you'll have a lot less time to do this. Read everything that appeals to you not just in your field

Redacting names on PI applications to see if it could help gender parity. The result? "All five [of 5 open positions] went to women during the study, compared with just one during the earlier period." Implicit bias is very real. nature.com/articles/d4158โ€ฆ

2024 has been truly a "dream come true" year for me, getting to start my own lab at IFOM. I'm honored to share my reflections on this transition, alongside these 11 other exciting new PIs. Thank you, Nature Cancer, for the opportunity to keep it real ๐Ÿ˜‰
