@BBParis1984 @NIHFunding Does it have to be reported in US$? Can we just make up a word that reflects our perceived value of collaboration?

[Curran Lab @CurranLab]

Recruiting to fill two postdoc positions for creative scientists interested in studying (1) the intersection of host-pathogen interactions and lipid metabolism over the lifespan and (2) exploring a new mouse model of proteostasis that connects Alzheimer's disease and diabetes.

@William_Mair I dunno, i think it works as is! “assemblage of different scientific forms to create a new whole”? #sciencecollage

[Curran Lab @CurranLab]

Interested in #aging research? Join our town hall on May 21 at 12PM Pacific to learn how we can help provide #geroscience training and expertise as well as access to some of the technologies housed at USC and the Buck Institute.

With virtual hooding ceremonies I get to live out my dream of wearing shorts and flip flops with my PhD costume... I mean regalia... thanks COVID!

[Inigo Martincorena @imartincorena]

Excited to share our latest work. We present NanoSeq, a new duplex sequencing method with <5 errors per billion sites in single DNA molecules. A leap in our ability to study mutation in any tissue. 1/ https://t.co/QnrbVes3LA
