Snowing in Nashville, TN.

We are hiring a #postdoc and a research technician at Weill Cornell Medicine Medicine - Cornell University in New York City! We study the impact of diet and gut microbiota on inflammation, immunity, metabolism, and cancer. Join us if you are interested in #immunology and the #microbiota.

Breaking Science News: NASA just published discovery of strong evidence suggesting that other biological life likely exists in the universe! This is such a profound discovery that I’m really surprised it hasn’t become top news! “Not only does Bennu contain all 5 of the

Got this meaningful gift and thank you @youngnmax0619 for designing this mug!!!

Dr. Firdausi Qadri’s remarkable journey as a renowned infectious disease expert has been marked by groundbreaking contributions to both basic research and patient care. Thank you Science Magazine for covering this story, truly inspiring! science.org/content/articl…

Things I wish more people knew about doing science in the US (thread):

Thanks for all the congrats and well wishes on my upcoming role at the The University of Chicago and UChicagoCancerCenter. Now is the time to lean into basic science cancer research & support junior faculty and trainees. I'm grateful & excited to get started! biologicalsciences.uchicago.edu/news/jeffrey-r…

Quite an essay on the basis of cancer entitled "The End of the Genetic Paradigm of Cancer" PLOS Biology arguing against the primacy of somatic mutations and cells (traditional model), invoking gene regulatory networks and tissue journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

EMBO workshop on Single cell Lineage Tracing! Sept 18-21 in Sant Feliu, Girona, Spain. Registration OPEN!!!!! Tons of opportunities for talks (including some full length ones). You don’t want to miss it! meetings.embo.org/event/25-linea… #EMBOlineagetracing

A poor working relationship with a supervisor or manager can result in lost opportunities, creating an unexplained gap in an early-career researcher’s publication record go.nature.com/4i98orU

🎉 Today is Vanderbilt University #GivingDay! And we are so close to hitting our goal! Every gift truly matters—help us push past the finish line and fuel the future of basic science research. 🖤 💛 givecampus.com/schools/Vander…

Excited to share some updates on lineage tracing from my lab: 1. A comprehensive evaluation on mtDNA lineage tracing by combining simulations and real data analysis doi.org/10.1186/s13059… 2. A novel phylodynamic inference framework for cell lineage trees doi.org/10.1016/j.cels…

Time to admit that despite extensive investment and effort we’ve largely failed as a field to understand how regulatory information is encoded in DNA and there isn’t clear progress on the horizon.

Grateful for the journey, the people, and all the lessons along the way. PhDone! #VanderbiltUniversity #VU2025

Proud of Paige Spencer and Mirazul Islam for completing their PhD journeys with me last week. The best is yet to come!

New preprint! We mapped the clonal architecture of mouse and human intestine using DNA barcoding, revealing key species-specific differences. Lessons from mice don’t always translate to humans! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. #StemCell #Barcoding #CRISPR #pISC #TOB2 #LGR5 #ASCL2

Happiness is highly linked to how focused you are on what you're doing. A wandering mind is an unhappy mind.
