Macrophysiological System

I'm like the full-sized version of an organ-on-a-chip. Brain organoids, veganism, feminism, pragmatic progressivism, sometimes grad school & parenting. Critics rave: "The least annoying bad takes I've seen all week"
The rest of us are missing out on tofu fermentation foodways that rival any dairy cheesemaking tradition: smelly tofu, pickled tofu, creamy tofu, squeaky tofu, mushy tofu!

Many vegan cheeses are tasty, but almost none are actually "cheeses": (plant) milk solids that have been curdled, pressed, & ripened.
Closest common approximation of actual vegan cheese is soy cheese, ie tofu—outside Asia, mostly only available as a plain "fresh cheese" 1/3

My birchbark brains were a hit at the lab gift exchange!

Digital mockup for lab gift exchange art is done! Different colors represent germinal zones/cortical plate, basal nuclei anlage, choroid plexus, and other brain parenchyma.
#devneuro followers—can you catch any mistakes before I start cutting out the pieces?

Kudos to the Camp/Theis/Treutlein labs for compiling this amazing resource for the field!
Particularly interesting addition since the preprint: comparison to fetal data beyond the first trimester, finding that organoids start modeling the second right on schedule but also retain early signatures

oof—five full workweeks to analyze a single embryo like this. Never going to complain about debugging an ImageJ macro again

In general, we need to get past a pure deficit model of #scicomm.
Some distrust is due to lack of understanding. But if we feel the need to scrupulously hide what we're doing from the public that funds it, our professional values may have diverged from theirs enough to need a course correction

Some life scientists are defensive about calls to replace animal research, but polls show it's what the citizens who fund us want.
With antivaxxers in power & trust in sci falling, we should jump at the chance to show we share popular values by incorporating & talking up more non-animal methods

Hi Bluesky! I work on stem-cell-based alternatives to animal models of human brain development, have many opinions both correct and spicy, and sometimes take pretty pictures
