Baby's first cover!
Check out our article on how a persistent pollutant causes in ALS phenotype in iPSC motor neurons and in zebrafish. Congrats to all the authors on this team effort!

As a new Alzheimer’s research lab, we were all excited to discuss this exciting finding but also get into the scientific weeds! Very interesting to see the sex differences.

@fishmuscle we’ve got to do this with our pesticide treatment! I love zebrafish…..

[eLife - the journal @eLife]

This study in zebrafish reveals for the first time that mutations in the kinesin light chain gene klc4 affect neuronal development and nervous system functions. https://t.co/YqjM3VYW6a

@biorxiv_neursci What what?!! Cool read.

[Alison O’Neil @ONeil_Research]

Very important- we need more diverse lines in the banks!

[ESC & iPSC News @ESC_iPSC_News]

Recent @NatureComms commentary by @StanleyCenter and @broadinstitute
scientists discusses the importance of incorporating diverse ancestries in #hiPSC models to improve equity and accelerate biological discovery.

An important read indeed. 👇

"It pains me to think how many people are kept out of science not for a lack of talent, but because they didn’t excel at a standardized test."

Grad schools need to see beyond standardized tests, argues this #ScienceWorkingLife. https://t.co/C9KGwt99Fw #ScienceMagArchives

@SaraFreemanPhD Wow! That’s a beaute!

[Alison O’Neil @ONeil_Research]

This is scientists helping scientists!! 🤣😂 But seriously, downloading the print file now!

[Chi-Kuo Hu @ChiKuoHimself]

@JoePlatelet @CterminiPhD Yes, we feel your pain! Overnight we designed and printed a small removable clip to solve this problem. "Tape holder holder". Hope this helps!

My garden squirrels have me thinking HIBERNATION. You too? Looking for a PhD project? Check out @fengni99, my Bio colleague @wesleyan_u who has #PhDpositions in her lab.

[Alison O’Neil @ONeil_Research]

Wesleyan is looking for Biology PhD students!

[Ruth I Johnson @JohnsonFlyLab]

Applying for Bio PhD programs? Don't overlook smaller institutions in favor of 'big name brands'. As a grad student @wesleyan_u you will be VALUED, have a VOICE, well COMPENSATED, and your GROWTH and SUCCESS will be prioritized. https://t.co/qTGvhtpX4U.
