This is a very difficult time for Israelis and Iranians. If you have friends and colleagues that are affected, reach out to see how they're doing.

Science’s secret weapon is that it cannot be subject to authority. There is no hierarchy when making discoveries which only happens when scientists treat each other as intellectual peers. #standupforscience

Excited to share our new study revealing the intricate dynamics of pregnancy & postpartum physiology! We analyzed 40M lab tests from 300K pregnancies and 160K women (cross-sectional),
we mapped week-by-week changes starting from preconception to months-long postpartum recovery.

BIG NEWS! The Mosquito Cell Atlas preprint is live! 🦟🧬 My first senior author paper! Massive and accessible snRNA-seq dataset and a lot of cool mosquito biology. A true collaborative achievement! #MCA

HUGE: Google's AI just solved 84% of the International Math Olympiad (IMO) problems from 2000-24 with Alpha Geometry 2!

These are math problems most professors couldn't solve.

The Mishmar lab is celebrating 20 years of Science. We gathered former and current members, visited Tel Beer-Sheva. I am privileged to guide all these people through their scientific path!

Aneuploidy is the leading cause of pregnancy loss. In our study (https://t.co/L4ZXZv3Gwp) led by undergrad Angela Yang, we used a simulation framework to infer rates of meiotic (39-43%) and mitotic errors (1-3% per division) that best explain data from human IVF embryo biopsies.

Extremely proud of my MSc student Ido Tziony who got first place in a recent international challenge on predicting protein-DNA binding in vivo based on in vitro datasets! Thanks so much for the data generators and organizers of this challenge! @halfacrocodile @ArttuJolma

[Ian Henderson @hendersi]

Another question from a student that I don't have a good answer for (chatgpt also struggled) - in the genetic code why do some amino acids have only one codon (eg Met, Trp), whereas others get six (eg Ser)?

[Adam Auton @adamauton]

Yesterday was a hard day at 23andMe, and we said goodbye to a number of tremendously talented colleagues. If people have job openings in the genetics space that they'd like me to share with the impacted folks, please do post here.

[Oded Rechavi @OdedRechavi]

What do you think, can you graduate and get a PhD if you did everything right but didn't get any original results worth publishing? I have a feeling most people would say 'no', but in my opinion it's a 'yes'. Where would science be if we don't try things that can fail?

[Yaron Orenstein @OrensteinYaron]

Excited to share our new method GreedyMini+ to generate DNA minimizers with low expected or particular density for practical k & w values: https://t.co/fwskO5ZTJ8. Joint work with my student Ido Tziony and my colleagues @shay_gol, @matanHakrausi, and Arseny Shur #minimizers

There are ~40k postdocs in the US, according to the NIH. While PhD students generally have good support (their committees, external advisors, and classmates), the postdocs do not. To help with this, we're starting the 'Postdoc Night Science' club with a first branch in NYC. ⬇️

[Shai Carmi @ShaiCarmi]

Interesting article, and good to see some details about this company. But I don't see any major scoop or anything too surprising.

🔥"Postdoc Night Science NYC" will have its first meeting November 1st at 1:30-3:00pm at Rockefeller University. Join us postdocs for a session on importing/exporting ideas across research fields! I'll lead this with our host @StearnsLab 🙏 Register here: https://t.co/eYdlZaIkVF
