Attended the #ASGCT2024 in Baltimore this year. It was great to come up to speed with the latest and the best in gene therapeutics and present the transformative #LNP work that we’re doing at @entradatx to change the drug delivery landscape.

"A mentor sees more talent in you than you see in yourself and helps bring it out”. Dr. John Tomich closed his retirement symposium at @KStateBMB with these words. It was a pleasure to help organizing this event for my former PhD advisor. THANKS ALL 🙌 @PSukthankar @PeyingFong

I’ve been fortunate to have amazing mentors who’ve guided me through difficult times, empowered me to make my own choices and backed me up when the chips were down. Mentorship isn’t just about #science it’s about human relationships. @sluskylab #NationalMentorDay

A remarkable and exciting survey that shows a high degree of similarity in perspectives and opinions cutting across religious, ethnic, and gender lines throughout the Indian population despite being the most diverse nation on Earth. #UnityInDiversity #ProudToBeAnIndian

[Pew Research Center @pewresearch]

Today, India’s Muslims almost unanimously say they’re very proud to be Indian (95%) and they express great enthusiasm for Indian culture: 85% agree with the statement that “Indian people are not perfect, but Indian culture is superior to others.” https://t.co/vHHBnlW8Vs

Congratulations to Kayla Wilkinson for her watercolour making the cover of Nature Chemical Biology. Being an accomplished artist as well as a scientist is no small feat.

[Nature Chemical Biology @nchembio]

Our July cover depicts in watercolor the skin epidermal layer, highlighting work on a small-molecule activator of Hippo–YAP signaling (https://t.co/SO4WFo2RIz) that promotes epidermal keratinocyte expansion. https://t.co/sK39Pqc8gH

The #Badlands of South Dakota constitute some of the most awe inspiring and challenging landscapes for a serious photographer. Can’t wait to see how my film comes out. #RB67 #MediumFormat #Kodak #TriX400 #Ektachrome

Pausing J&J vaccination is appropriate to get more info.

But also know, this is so far about 6 cases of a rare type of blood clot out of 7M people who got that vaccine. As @US_FDA noted, the background rate of such blood clots is 2 to 14 per million.

Finally, this manuscript really took shape when @Rik_Skywalker decided to use Covid time to learn to code! I think it's amazing that he learned to code and published a paper using his new skills in less than a year. Way to go! 8/8 https://t.co/ZkIpmsVzZi

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

I love hybrid classes. Faculty have to choose between disappointing the students on zoom or the students in the classroom. Like being in a store with the phone ringing! Someone is going to be unhappy!

@AparnaLajmi Congratulations Aparna!

[Aparna Lajmi @AparnaLajmi]

Our paper (with Varad Giri, Tarun Singh and Ishan Agarwal) describing two new species of Hemidactylus geckos is out today. Both these species have bright yellow tails that distinguish them from other Hemidactylus in India.

This is the way you respond to #hate & depravation; by affirming your humanity, not by undermining it. Proud of @nikhilmelnechuk for his dignified response to an act of #racist #violence that he was subjected to on the lower west side of #Manhattan #NYC #Poetry
