Had a wonderful visit to Iowa State Univ. for the GDCB seminar! Huge thanks to Raquel @espinlab.bsky.social & Clyde @clydecampbell-lab.bsky.social for the warm hosting. Loved exploring stem cell metabolism collaborations with ISU faculty & trainees—plus Iowa’s sweet corn! @einsteinmededu.bsky.social

@eirinipapapetrou.bsky.social from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is looking most forward to the iPSC-derived Hematopoiesis Symposium that is being organized the day before #ISEH2025 🏯 begins. Learn more about this event and register! sites.google.com/view/2025ips...

Q: What scientific session at #ISEH2025 are you looking forward to the most? 
A: “I am mostly looking forward to the iPSC-derived Hematopoiesis Symposium – a half-day symposium taking place on Wednesday afternoon that I co-organize. This symposium is now on its 4th year and brings together researchers from the fields of developmental hematopoiesis, disease modeling and cell therapies who share a common interest in using human pluripotent stem cell models.”

These are the most challenging times for early-career scientists and engineers.

My team is doing its bit to help by maintaining and even expanding our database of funding opportunities for early-career researchers.

We found 437 of them.

Beautiful tribute to Dr. James Till by Dr. Norman Iscove. Truly honored to serve as editor for this legacy in @isehsociety.bsky.social, as a proud scientific descendant of Dr. McCulloch. Tx to Norman for insights into the early HSC era & Jim’s pivotal role. bit.ly/45NPeWb @einsteinmededu.bsky.social

Remembering James Till, 1931-2025

It has been 64 years since the publication of the classic 1961 Till & McCulloch paper that described spleen colonies in lethally irradiated mice following a bone marrow transplant [1]. On May 18, 2024...
