It’s another Meet the Member Monday!
This week I’m pleased to introduce 2 of our PhD students (both proud 🇧🇷!!) Erikles & Lucas!
Erikles is a veterinarian with a background in experimental biology. He’s leading our transgenic animal studies🐭 to understand causes & prevention of neural tube defects

Just got a glimpse of the water footprint of A.I. how was this not more widely discussed? Feels like I’ve being living in a cave 🤯 while some cities are already facing water shortages linked to data centers.

Talking with other early-career researchers, I keep noticing how many feel a bit disconnected from the research they’re doing — sometimes just following a plan they didn’t create or truly understand. (Cont.)
