Congratulations to Samantha and the Butler lab!

[Samantha Butler @Butlerlab_UCLA]

So many thanks to The Marcus Foundation for believing in my research program, and giving my lab the opportunity to develop our stem cell protocols towards restoring somatosensation. Thanks also to @UCLAstemcell for all their support with this gift. https://t.co/PVu7cHVhKj

Please retweet! Last week to submit an abstract for @CSHL meeting "Molecular Mechanisms of Neuronal Connectivity", new deadline July 10th. It's a great line up of keynote speakers, with lots of opportunities to give a short talk! @dacolon @CathyFlyMom https://t.co/XyUiRBGTtN

[Samantha Butler @Butlerlab_UCLA]

The Butler and @NovitchLab labs turned out for the @UCLA_BRI end of year celebration to honor the equally beloved Felix Schweizer (outgoing director) and @doctorpoe (new director)! @UCLA #Neuroscience is in excellent hands. #tacos

New paper alert from the Butler lab! We have used pseudotime analyses of scRNA-Seq in vivo and in vitro datasets to examine the lineage trajectories in the developing dorsal spinal cord to identify novel regulators of dorsal neural fates. 🧵https://t.co/CkaPhTQXUq

Congratulations on this fantastic study!

Congratulations on yet another really interesting study Madeline!

[Jennifer Kong, PhD @JennKong07]

My heart in seeing all the devastation on Maui 💔. I was very young, but I remember visiting beautiful Lahaina as a child, passing through to visit other family on the island. Lahaina has given so much of itself to the world, please give back if you can. 🌺🌴❤️

[Ben Novitch @NovitchLab]

@MichelCayouette What a beautiful encapsulation of the exchange of ideas that one has at conferences.

[Ben Novitch @NovitchLab]

So excited to hear a great presentation by my former student @JennKong07. Note that the Kong lab is looking for students and post docs!

[Ben Novitch @NovitchLab]

Really excellent job Crystal!

Moderating with grace and humor #2023SDB Crystal Rogers @RogersLabUCD leads an important discussion on the ethical issues studying human embryonic development. @SocDevBio #2023SDB

[Ben Novitch @NovitchLab]

One should not ignore considerabilty of the investigators whose experiments have been lost!

[Samantha Butler @Butlerlab_UCLA]

Have you wronged a stem cell culture if you contaminate it? Do you apologize to it? Insoo Hyun from the @museumofscience explains moral status vs moral considerability @SocDevBio #2023SDB
