Can you imagine what the mitotic spindle looks like?!? I wonder if they develop somatic aneupolidies in the course of just normal development.

Actually, if he had, perhaps his conclusion would have been that pretty much no trait shows Mendelian linkage with any other trait! 😜

Any academic folks on H1B visas (even with stamps in passports) please get legal advice from your University attorneys before leaving the US.

A random bit of history (for modern analogies). Lysenko set back genetics in USSR by ~50 years. Hundreds of geneticists imprisoned or died. Cybernetics was also named "reactionary pseudoscience", and about to undergo similar fate, but got lucky that this started close to the end of the Stalin era.

Excited to share our latest work on blood aging! To find out why the blood system changes as people age, we started at the source: hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) #hemesky 🩸🧬 doi.org/10.1101/2025... 🧵 1/5
