Was such a pleasure to listen to @GilesYeo engaging talk about the genetics of obesity today!

I learnt so much despite my little knowledge of the topic and was inspired to communicate science just as well as he did 🧠 Absolutely worth waking up early on a Saturday for!

New🔥TCR #CRISPR✂️ cancer #immunotherapy paper just out in @Nature by PACT Pharma & UCLA.

Why all the 📸headlines & press coverage?

This small proof-of-concept study can give us a glimpse into the future of cancer therapy.

Let’s unpack the details & relevance of this study👇🧵

1769 and counting! What an impressive number of Wikipedia bios written by @jesswade highlighting the achievements of female scientists 👩🏻‍🔬

Loved hearing her share about her passion for promoting diversity in science and the perks of #AcademicTwitter

[Jia Jhing Sia @JiaJhing]

Keeping an eye out for developments in these technologies this year! Curious to know which ones you are most excited about! 👀

Came across some amazing work by a Malaysian scientist today! Always really inspired to hear about the scientific innovations back home 🇲🇾

[Gman 颜汉铭 @DrGanHM]

Left academia. Back to Industry in home country #Malaysia Featured in a local magazine mainly for what we have done thus far in Genomics. Local in-house capacity is what we need and that's what I am providing for Malaysia.

Enjoyed reading this thread on probiotics! 🦠

[100 Scientists of Malaysia @_100SoM]

#Probiotics are frequently mentioned in relation to the #microbiome. The idea is that by taking beneficial bacteria, you can reap the benefits but how true is it? We will explore it in this 🧵 1/8
