Amazing lab. Terrific opportunity!
Piali’s lab is amazing, highly recommended!
Despite the mess, we are grateful to be funded, have exciting science happening, and have an opening for a postdoc!

Amazing lab. Terrific opportunity!
Was really privileged to play a very small part in providing feedback on the development. Once again @odedrechavi.bsky.social innovating science. Brilliant!
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📣: I haven’t been this excited to be part of something new in 15 years… Thrilled to reveal the passion project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half!🙀🥳 (thread 👇)

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Awesome science!
Why does the naked mole rat have the longest lifespan of any rodent, nearly 40 years?
A 30-year long mystery unraveled @ScienceMagazine today!
Its cGAS enzyme in cells has 4 missense mutations that upends its function, promoting DNA repair and suppressing inflammation

#Epigenetics is a stretchy term -- looking forward to hearing @katzlab.bsky.social explain it next week (and connection to #Alzheimers) at Wild Heaven Toco Hills -- with @standupforscience.bsky.social @sci4ga.bsky.social #StandUpForScience actionnetwork.org/events/teach...

Great idea.
BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Great idea.
Excited to be talking to the community about our work and about why funding science is so important. Come join us! @standupforscience.bsky.social @sci4ga.bsky.social
