@EllieChemistry @UWaterloo Congrats super well deserved!

@lcbmann @MollyShoichet @alisonmcguigan @OICR_news @Wheeler_Lab @coledeforest Amazing news, congratulations Dr. Bahlmann :)

1.What if we explored different models for how labs could run? For example? the multi-PI lab. Presently every PI is like a decathlete: paper writing, grant writing, project management, budgeting, mentoring, etc. It would be so fun to run lab w/ other PIs & divide these chores up!

The fact that having to wait 3h at YYZ is a national crisis but having to wait 8,10 or 16h in the ER isn’t just shows how screwed up our priorities are

@EllieChemistry @EKumachevaGroup @PMResearch_UHN @chemuoft Congratulations Ellie!! Well deserved :)

[Natalie Landon-Brace @NLandonBrace]

So proud of one of my first MD/PhD pals and research idol @andygxzeng! A rising💫star💫 in leukemia research - may this be the first of many great papers with the potential to change lives :)

[University Health Network @UHN]

Dr. John Dick and his team @UHN found a way to stratify acute myeloid leukemia into four treatment groups by examining the hierarchy of cancer cell types present, their genomic profiles and relative prevalence

Belated Earth Day tweet: Scientists use an absurd amount of single use plastic. Shoutout to @NEBiolabs for thoughtfully designing their kits/packaging/shipping materials with sustainability in mind & to @QIAGEN for developing greener RNA extraction kits! #sustainablescience

@ben_ouyang @mghmedres Congrats Ben!

Retweet this if you agree that the pandemic isn’t over simply because your government is pretending it’s over.

Our 3D model of fatty acid-induced obese adipocytes in a thin paper scaffold is on #bioRxiv now! First time the @mcguiganlab & @gilbertlab use their disease modeling skills to study the fascinating #adipocytes & #obesity.

Please take a look! Your feedback is very welcome!

🚨New paper alert!🚨 Now live in Biomaterials (https://t.co/Cr1gaVdc8m): our 3D in vitro #organoid model lets us stratify #heterogeneity in #cancer growth and regrowth after chemotherapy using small volumes and continuous image analysis 🔬 Read ⬇️ to see how we did it 🤩

When choosing a PhD lab consider the 4 P’s, in this order:

👩🏽‍🔬 PI - Will make or break your experience
😊 People - Are your coworkers good humans?
✅ Process - Do you actually like doing qPCR/code/animal surgery all day?
🔬 Project - This could change tomorrow

"Schools should be the first to open, and the last to close."

As of January 5th in #Ontario:

CLOSED: Schools

OPEN (with 50% capacity): malls, non-essential retail settings, personal care services, indoor weddings, and religious services and ceremonies.

Little doubt Omicron will become the next dominant variant. To prevent a 5th wave of morbidity & mortality, more restrictions, school closures, rapid tests should be made widely accessible. Simple, cost-effective tool. Ontario, please & thank you.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

I have seen my friend @JustinTrudeau show leadership in the fight for accessible child care, protected reproductive rights, and ambitious climate action.

I’m wishing him and our progressive Canadian neighbors the best in Monday's election.

Super excited to share our new paper from @mcguiganlab, co-authored with @JoseLCadavid! Read on for details on how we modelled the #PancreaticCancer tumor microenvironment using TRACER and #organoids. Thanks also to the rest of this great team!

[mcguiganlab @mcguiganlab]

New paper alert 🚨🚨🚨 Congratulations to co-authors @NLandonBrace and @JoseLCadavid, who have re-designed our TRACER model to enable #Organoid unrolling to study #PancreaticCancer and the #TumorMicroenvironment in vitro. Now live in Adv. Funct. Mater. https://t.co/juzMGEuG0I

@AndrewDMazzanti I had to stop wearing black jeans to the lab - always get bleached spots where the lab coat doesn’t cover :(
