Inspired by Women in Science day 2021, I want to share some thoughts about things that I think help ensure success in science.

[Wyss Institute @wyssinstitute]

Wyss researchers have developed a new kind of gene regulator, a Toehold Switch. These nanodevices can sense environmental stimuli and produce proteins for diagnostic and other synthetic biology applications. https://t.co/B3e2PvWTfW

[Wyss Institute @wyssinstitute]

Wyss researchers led by @JenniferALewis1 and Nicole Black have developed PhonoGraft, a biomimetic membrane that functions like the natural eardrum and enables its full regeneration upon damage. https://t.co/Z9bSpMcLrh

[Wyss Institute @wyssinstitute]

A new method developed by members of the Wyss & @medialab called untargeted expansion sequencing is able to produce nanoscale-resolution maps of RNAs throughout the mouse brain, enabling highly multiplexed mapping of RNAs from nanoscale to system scale. https://t.co/zejVnsWJ2G

[John H. Rex, MD @JohnRex_NewAbx]

Last week, Kevin Krause and I presented an integrated summary via back-to-back talks at @theNASEM's #AntimicrobialResistance meeting. Click for our slides and summary!

Thanks to Kevin for co-authoring 📝

Wyss researchers developed a cell therapy innovation to slow tumor growth: cellular "backpacks" or disc-shaped nanoparticles that can stick to a macrophage without being engulfed & release cytokines into their "hosts" to keep them activated against cancer. https://t.co/RtOypAFwUL

[Wyss Institute @wyssinstitute]

CogniXense is a rapid disease modeling technology that combines quickly deployable animal models with high-throughput behavioral & cognitive screening and effective drug prediction algorithms to analyze human genetic diseases and facilitate drug screening.

[Don Ingber @DonIngber]

Fantastic! It's wonderful see how #organsonchips can led to new insights into human disease physiology and infectious diseases like #tuberculosis.

[Angana Deb @AnganaDeb1]

@DrVivekThacker @eLife @PackerLEmily @emulateinc Great work. Congratulations!

[IU Biology @IUBiology]

Professor Tuli Mukhopadhyay @TuliLab @IUBiology has been named fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, an honor that recognizes her outstanding contributions to the progress of science and research. https://t.co/Dw7qyXU0JC

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

Basically, the dumber you are, the smarter you think you are, and vice versa. 🧠

[Jen Heemstra @jenheemstra]

Scientific studies have shown that it’s possible to get reinfected with COVID-19, but also that immunity could last for years. How can that be and what does it mean for the hope we’re putting in vaccines? The answer is that it’s complicated…but potentially promising. A thread.

[Jen Heemstra @jenheemstra]

Being rigorous doesn't have to mean being unkind. It is absolutely possible to set high expectations and then be kind and encouraging as you help people to work toward them.

[Krish Ashok @krishashok]

What connects ancient Mesopotamia, Rosetta Stone, your liver, mayonnaise, the last letter of the Greek alphabet, dark chocolate, fake meat and heart disease? The answer is sesame. A thread

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

The problem is not people being uneducated.
The problem is that people are educated just enough to believe what they have been taught, and not educated enough to question anything from what they have been taught. 🧠

[Marvel Studios @MarvelStudios]

Our hearts are broken and our thoughts are with Chadwick Boseman’s family. Your legacy will live on forever. Rest In Peace.

[Samir Mitragotri @SMitragotri]

Our Sci Adv paper out today. We report a dry-stored polymer-peptide conjugate injected i.v. to reduce internal bleeding in rodent studies. Led by @YongshenggGao and Apoorva Sarode. Collab w @JishnuSenGupta and team from MGH, BIDMC @hseas @wyssinstitute https://t.co/QQJQWZuKzj

[Anirban @bhalomanush]

My first immunological meme

[Wyss Institute @wyssinstitute]

Psoriasis afflicts millions of people, but treatment is limited to small molecules that can lose their efficacy over time. A team led by @SMitragotri & @DonIngber used a topical ionic liquid to deliver an RNA therapy directly into skin cells for treatment. https://t.co/LiCtfnhovx

[Wyss Institute @wyssinstitute]

Better vaccines are in our blood: a team from @smitragotri's lab at the Wyss and @hseas has harnessed red blood cells to deliver antigens to immune cells in the spleen, creating an immune memory against cancer in mice without an adjuvant. https://t.co/Rt4XmBBJqu
