Congrats BU Figure Skating Boston University!! ⛸️

Thanks Wyss Institute & Lindsay Brownell for covering our work! This project was a surprise -- I didn't expect to work on statins. It seems that they chose us! Many thanks to our collaborators Sirota Lab at UCSF tomiko oskotsky Marina Sirota and more for your expertise, hard work, and patience!

‼️📣👉There will be a Research Associate/Fellow vacancy in my group coming up soon, working on projects related to human electrophysiology, high-density EMG, #rehabilitation & #spinalcordinjury.

A Wyss team found that only a subset of statin drugs, which lower cholesterol, seem to mitigate COVID-19 in patients. This suggests that we still have a lot to learn about how commonly-prescribed drugs work. PLOS Comp Biol Megan Sperry Don Ingber journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…

The protein-microengineering team outing at Blue Hills Reservation was a success earlier this month, with everyone reaching the top of the Great Blue Hill. #WyssLife

Owen resided in Winchester, MA and was a trailblazer in so many ways, as evidenced in this thread by Ryan. She gets overlooked when we talk about legends in women’s sports, but she deserves to be recognized.

It's that time of year!! Time to help Skype A Scientist by telling every teacher, librarian, troop leader, etc you know... Skype a Scientist's Fall 2023 enrollment is OPEN! Sign up here bit.ly/EnrollFall2023 We rely on word of mouth to grow, so this action is critical for us!

Good morning from the #WyssRetreat23! We’re so excited for the day ahead. Don Ingber just kicked it off with some welcoming remarks. Can’t wait to spend the day learning about impactful research.

🚨 FUNDRAISER 🚨 Dear Friends of Project MEOW, It’s almost Giving Tuesday, the most important day of the year for cat rescues like ours. This year, we’re hoping to raise $10,000 to support our cats in rescue and those still on the street needing our help in West Philly. (1)

The Wyss Institute’s Biostasis project identifies drug that induces a state of “suspended animation” and has potential to facilitate organ transplantation. Megan Sperry Don Ingber #OrganTransplant wyss.harvard.edu/news/suspended…

New paper, awesome Wyss Institute team: elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr… "Identification of pharmacological inducers of a reversible hypometabolic state for whole organ preservation" - biostasis!

Wonderful new work from Michael Levin Don Ingber at the Wyss Institute, led by colleagues Megan Sperry Haleh Fotowat. 🧊 Was fortunate to get a behind-the-scenes look at this project last year. Applications to organ transplantation, trauma management, space exploration, and more! 1/3

One of the best stories right now in all of sports, not just figure skating.

Wyss runners Haleh, Megan, and Tiffany got together for the Bionic5K last weekend. This race was co-founded by Wyss Associate Faculty member Conor Walsh to celebrates the power of technology to enable all people to run together. #WyssInTheWorld #Bionic5K

Lovely to see Dr Janet Deane sharing her journey and knowledge about doctoral research! Congrats, Jan! 👩🏻‍🎓
