Also, I had CNN on in the background when this interview happened, and I had never actually seen @AsteadWH, only heard his voice. And I ran so fast out of my kitchen to see why this voice was familiar. I rewinded, paused it, and made my mom watch it with me.
@AsteadWH got me through this election cycle. His podcast @TheRunUpNYT not only bettered my understanding of America's political landscape, it made me want to meaningfully engage. I think his podcast should be required listening. Consider this your assignment. 🙃
Dementia is often framed in the context of loss — a loss of neurons, independence, and ultimately life. But some dementia patients experience a burst of artistic creativity 🎨 Now, researchers have an idea as to why.

Today I weaseled my way into the office of the hospital's medical physicist and he was all prepared to tell me about my treatment plan and I was like "OK, COOL, NOW CAN YOU SHOW ME HOW YOU CALIBRATE YOUR CANCER LASER"
The spider Ma (major ampullate) gland, not Spider Man, is the real superhero of spider silk production. Researchers used #singlecell & #spatialtranscriptomics to define the cells and architecture of this amazing little organ in golden orb-weaving spiders. https://t.co/iLNTRc16PE
In 2020, fewer than 3% of scientists featured in textbooks were Asian, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander. In honor of #AAPIHeritageMonth, we want to recognize three scientists that may have been missing from your history books in the 🧵 below…
A clinical trial is sparking hope for paralyzed patients—literally. Learn how researchers used #spatial and #singlecell technology to understand how electrical stimulation can help people with spinal cord injuries walk again. https://t.co/bBupT7m1Ss
Can mini-kidneys and tiny tumors complement animal models during drug development? Organoids are on the rise in translational research. Learn how researchers are using organoids to aid drug development and discovery in our new blog. https://t.co/Jbg3DYg8Ke
Excited to share my post highlighting single cell publications from this year. As a former stem cell researcher, I was especially excited to see @Sergiu_P_Pasca lab's recent pub where they implanted human brain organoids into rat brains.
We recently highlighted some of the coolest studies from 2022 using Visium for #spatialtranscriptomics on our blog, but don’t think we’ve overlooked its predecessor— Chromium #SingleCell sequencing. Check out our top five picks from 2022. https://t.co/wllkX1Zva4
The National Academies congratulate the inaugural recipients of the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Awards for Excellence in Science Communications.

You’ve heard humans share ~99% of our DNA with chimpanzees: but what about our brain cells? 👱🧠🐵 Read our new blog to see how #singlecell tools let researchers ID species-specific cells in humans and other primates. https://t.co/WMWCdvY4qD
Macrophage-filled tumors correlate with low survival rates. Luckily, the @HelftJulie lab found some friendly, anti-tumor macrophages to recruit in the fight against #BreastCancer. Check out our #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth video to learn more.
Experience the revolutionary resolution of our Xenium #InSitu technology first hand by taking a subcellular tour of our #BioRxiv preprint breast cancer gene expression dataset using our new interactive visualization tool: https://t.co/dW5Zjz97PZ
#SingleCell and #SpatialGeneExpression tools were transformational. Xenium #InSitu technology is revolutionary. Explore the cellular localization of 100s of targets and fully immerse yourself in your tissue. See for yourself in our new preprint: https://t.co/jKqbghhj2g
“For years, everybody who works in or who's interested in medical research has been talking about precision medicine, or personalized medicine...and it's exactly this approach,” Naomi Allen from @uk_biobank told @NatOrtolano about biobanks.

Excited to see my story about @askdrfatima live on the @DrugDiscovNews website. Dr. Fatima Stanford has done some fantastic work as an #obesity medicine physician and #diversity advocate in the sciences. Plus, she's always fun to interview.
