Thank you to Hemalatha Rao and @soniaqsen for helping me put this work together!
Please reach out to us if you have questions or comments!

Super stoked to share our latest work! 🚨
We asked a fundamental question in developmental biology:
How do neural stem cells combine “Space” + “Time” to build a complex brain? 🧠

8/8
📍En at pre-open sites→ needs a chromatin opening partner.
📍Gsb reshapes chromatin, doesn't recruit Hb→needs a recruitment partner.
We propose a NB-specific STF code where:
👉🏾STF1️⃣Primes chromatin
👉🏾STF2️⃣Recruits TTF
👉🏾STF+TTF activate TS genes
👉🏾TS genes specify neurons!

@ClubSciWri has put out its latest article, "From Language to Life: How Wittgenstein Might Envision the Evolution of AGI. https://t.co/S30oBXGpFq
(I also wrote a little poem, inpired by the article🙈, let us know what you think? Enjoy!

Can bumblebees learn tasks- those too complex for them to figure out by themselves in a lifetime- from a trained mentor?

Ha! And they thought it was just us hoomans that could do that.

Beautiful work! Join us, folks! https://t.co/dDbisniWoF
