@bloodgenes @HHMINEWS Congratulations, Vijay! So well deserved!!!

[New York Stem Cell Foundation Research Institute @nyscf]

Happening now at #ISSCR2024: NYSCF’s @RaekaAiyar announces our new partnership with @AllenInstitute to create a collection of tagged, ancestrally diverse stem cell lines with the aim of enabling inclusive quantitative cellular biology.

@TakebeLab Congrats, Taka, so well deserved!!

[Raeka Aiyar @raekaaiyar]

@greally @nyscf Thank you for your fantastic talk showing how inclusion leads to discoveries!! It was data we all needed to see!

[Raeka Aiyar @raekaaiyar]

My head and heart are overflowing after an unforgettable week at #ISSCR2023! So grateful to colleagues at @ISSCR, @nyscf & more. Energized & inspired by all the achievements of this community & great work we will take on together!

[Raeka Aiyar @raekaaiyar]

One of the best talks I’ve ever seen. Fascinating insights into aging & undoubtedly so many more ahead. Congrats, @Thomas_Rando! #ISSCR2023

[New York Stem Cell Foundation Research Institute @nyscf]

Congratulations to our friend @Thomas_Rando, Director of @UCLAstemcell, on receiving the @ISSCR Achievement Award at #ISSCR2023! An enthralling lecture on decades of work to unravel the role of stem cell quiescence in resilience and regeneration 👏

Women are always too much and not enough…despite overwhelming evidence that they make exceptional leaders

[Raeka Aiyar @raekaaiyar]

What if science really was a meritocracy? (to quote my co-panelist ⁦@DrShrutiNaik⁩) Excited to moderate this #ISSCR2023 discussion starting shortly with the great ⁦@valentatormenta⁩, ⁦@TakebeLab⁩ & Evan Graham!!

[Raeka Aiyar @raekaaiyar]

I am beyond excited & honored to be moderating this @nyscf webinar with the outstanding Maike Sander (@msanderlab) to mark #WomensHistoryMonth. She is a thoroughly inspiring DEI advocate who I wish I had known earlier in my career. I hope you can join us!

[New York Stem Cell Foundation Research Institute @nyscf]

On #IWD2023, we celebrate trailblazing women like our founding CEO Susan Solomon, as we also recognize the barriers that still make it challenging for #WomenInScience to succeed. Next Friday, join our fireside chat on how far we’ve come and the road ahead: https://t.co/5g8OdYJkVR

[Raeka Aiyar @raekaaiyar]

@msanderlab @nyscf Maike, the honor is ours! Really looking forward to this discussion!

[Raeka Aiyar @raekaaiyar]

What a legacy she has left us. This obituary was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to write, but it was a catharsis and honor to write it with the amazing @fossati_v @valentatormenta @ArlottaLab. Thank you @ISSCR for the opportunity. Rest in peace, Susan. https://t.co/tcWdKSyghe

[Raeka Aiyar @raekaaiyar]

@usymmons @MPIAGE @nyscf That means a lot coming from a thoughtful advocate — thanks so much, Uschi, will miss seeing you there!

[Raeka Aiyar @raekaaiyar]

Honored to be invited and excited to give this talk about our #DEI work @nyscf — it takes several villages to make meaningful change, and it’s always a learning experience to discuss these topics with new audiences!

[MPI for Biology of Ageing @MPIAGE]

We’re really looking forward to hosting @raekaaiyar from the New York Stem Cell Foundation at our institute next week! She will be talking about #stemcell research @nyscf and their broad efforts to improve #diversity, #equity and #inclusion!

[Raeka Aiyar @raekaaiyar]

I am heartbroken today. Susan led us with a warmth, passion, & humor I had never thought possible. For she showed us how to make the impossible possible. She was a force of nature who pushed us to be&do better. I will forever be inspired by the time I was lucky to share with her.

[New York Stem Cell Foundation Research Institute @nyscf]

With a very heavy heart, we announce the passing of our CEO and co-founder, Susan Solomon, following a long battle with ovarian cancer. We owe all that NYSCF has accomplished to Susan, and no words can express our gratitude and awe for her catalytic impact on stem cell research.
