I’m obsessed with this image.

Theodore Boveri was one of the founders of cell biology, who work on chromosome segregation in embryonic development was foundational. In 1914 he made a speculative leap: Perhaps chromosome mis-segregation also was a cause of cancer 1/n journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/12…

A fascinating fact I learned from Vijay Sankaran on a recent chat. By now, most of you might've heard about the UK's regulatory approval of the world's first CRISPR-based medicine (Casgevy) for the treatment of sickle cell anemia and beta-thalassemia (statnews.com/2023/11/16/u-k…). The

Francis Crick correctly predicted the basic details of protein synthesis by 1958, years before direct experimental evidence had confirmed the existence of mRNA or tRNA. His 1958 paper on the subject is among the best in molecular biology's history. *** After solving the

Horrible news for JPL, and for all of us. The science and engineering NASA JPL is essential for the future of humankind.

Residents often work very long hours 6 days a week like 3 out of 4 weeks on average. God forbid you need a day here and there to recuperate, go to the dentist/bank/doctor. Medical educators will voice widespread concerns about a “slippery slope.” Then wonder about burnout. Smh

In this era of evidence-based practice and high-value care, I have to admire these hospital metal detectors for being low sensitivity, low specificity, and poor cost effectiveness. Impressive trifecta.

Micronuclei are frequently observed in tumor cells as a result of aberrant chromosomal separation. Two new Science studies investigate the cellular processes involved in micronuclear collapse. Learn more in this week's issue: scim.ag/8bF

Congrats to Sheltzer Lab alum Vishruth Girish for being recognized on the #Forbes30Under30 list for Science! forbes.com/30-under-30/20…

Part of the reason medicine is so $$ is because people with business degrees and no clinical experience tell everyone else how healthcare should work.

It is both massively ignorant & morally reprehensible to suggest that we should condemn kids to a lifetime of suffering or an early death because some self-interested ideologue with no understanding of poliovirus & no interest in protecting public health has stupid questions.

if you ever want to know if someone went to medical school just say “currant jelly” and see their reaction
