Penn historian Ben Nathans with an op-ed in our campus newspaper:

"No self-respecting university that values its autonomy and the integrity of its teaching and research should sign the compact."
Benjamin Nathans | Autonomy or obedience
Guest Columnist Benjamin Nathans urges Penn’s leadership to resist the White House’s demands in its “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education.”

Look at the size of this photomultiplier tube in the Nobel Prize museum. Imagine doing two photon imaging with one of those!

Relatively simple experiments with far-reaching insights.

Great story in the obit… “I believe Gurdon has ideas about becoming a scientist. On present showing, this is quite ridiculous.”

Dr. John Gurdon, a British biologist and Nobel laureate who in the early 1960s introduced a paradigm-shifting method of cell manipulation that led to the world’s first cloning of a large mammal, a sheep named Dolly, died on Tuesday at 92.
John B. Gurdon, 92, Dies; Nobelist Paved Way for Cloning of Animals
His work in the manipulation of cells laid the foundation for stem cell biology and regenerative medicine and led to the first cloned large mammal, a sheep named Dolly.

Great thread revealing the power of new tools in a developing model animal relative, and interesting insights into novel and potentially parallel roles of a conserved "growth" regulation pathway 🧪

Latest from ours: www.cell.com/cell-reports...

This is two stories in one: a case study/cautionary tale on developing genetic tools in new organisms, and the first hint at a gene regulatory network for choanoflagellate multicellular development (which turn out to involve a Hippo/YAP/ECM loop!) A 🧵

I enjoyed this post on LinkedIn, Prof. Mathias Goyen, Chief Medical Officer, GE Healthcare, Hamburg, GE, "I strongly believe that integrating the gender dimension in research and innovation is an added value in terms of excellence, creativity, and even business opportunities." A welcome message!

1M+ people live with SYNGAP1-related conditions, which can include severe seizures.

For the first time in mice models, gene therapy has reversed symptoms, even after onset. The breakthrough was achieved in collaboration with BioMarin.

Spouse & i did our 5th #Gritty5K Aside from the
#CakeInTheFace that the offspring & I got one year, this sequence of shots from this AM are some o the best I’ve gotten: beady #Gritty eye, frosting wrapping around her face, her arms akimbo. Thanks #flyers 4 a lovely annual distraction from real life
Gritty, the Philadelphia Flyers hockey mascot winding up to throw a cake at a person in the foreground. She stands with her back to us, arms akimbo. We can only see Gritty’s right eye, his hockey helmet, and part of his bright orange jersey. The sky behind him is bright blue and there is a crowd surrounding the spectacle. 1/3 Gritty rises up as he begins to take his swing, cake in hand. His right eye is higher and more obvious that in prior picture. The volunteer/victim in the foreground remains arms akimbo. 2/3 The cake has been thrown at the face of the volunteer/victim. She remains with arms akimbo, but the frosting wraps around one side of her head and chunks of cake wrap around the other. Gritty’s right eye is visible and focused on his target. 3/3.
