Partnering with @USCStemCell and @CIRMnews to train the next generation of leaders in stem cell research. Since 2006, CIRM has supported 110 USC scholars who have gone on to drive innovation in academia, biotech, and patient care. https://t.co/k9TzQyvmsT

[Jason Shepherd @JasonSynaptic]

While I’m a big fan of new technologies that help us study human biology…there’s still no replacement for animal research! I wrote an article outlining this in @GENbio

[USC Stem Cell @USCStemCell]

$13.5 million from a CIRM Scholars program at @USCStemCell has supported and will support 110 trainees, including PhD students, postdocs and clinical trainees. They've had an outsized impact on the biomedical field. @cirmnews @KECKSchool_USC https://t.co/HZQ53t40aw

@evgenykvon @Nature Such a beautiful study. Congrats!

[Crump Lab @CrumpLab]

@martinperaJAX Exciting stuff!

@rrbehringer @SocDevBio @NIH @NSF Would love to have this as a poster! Reminds me of the butterfly alphabet I had as a kid.

[Crump Lab @CrumpLab]

@rrbehringer @SocDevBio You saved the best for last!

[Crump Lab @CrumpLab]

@martinperaJAX Thanks Martin!

[Crump Lab @CrumpLab]

Nice article in Scientific American about our work on outer ear evolution and a complimentary study from the lab of Maksim Plikus on role of unique lipids in mammalian ear cartilage. @MathiThiru95 @USCStemCell @KECKSchool_USC

@RicGottardi @Nature @MathiThiru95 Thanks Riccardo. Great to catch up and hear your seminar this week.

[Crump Lab @CrumpLab]

The outer ear is a mammalian innovation but where did it come from? In our study in @Nature, @MathiThiru95 and colleagues find that the outer ear arose from modification of an ancestral gill program first originating in marine invertebrates. https://t.co/i05me2SXI4
