Dear Friends and Colleagues, we are finally on Bluesky!

Our lab uses human stem cell models to understand brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerve diseases, focusing on RNA metabolism and cellular autonomy.

We are based at NUS in Singapore at the Life Sciences Institute: www.nus.edu.sg/lsi/

Some say you either have "it" or you don't, and that creativity cannot be learned, but that really misses the point. Creativity is lost in the wrong environment. We need to recognize the "night science" aspect of our work and that we need to nurture it in our training. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Can creativity in science be learnt? These researchers think so
Time pressure gets in the way of ideas. Developing ‘creative oases’ and small grants for risky ideas can encourage innovative thinking in science.

You don’t see #VisionResearch. But it sees you. Most of us don’t think about vision research. But millions live every day with the impact of it—when it’s there, and when
it’s not. Vision research changes lives. bit.ly/3GXVIaZ

Mast cells regulate the brain-dura interface and CSF dynamics
Dural mast cells control cerebrospinal fluid dynamics at critical brain-dura interfaces, specifically arachnoid cuff exit points. Their activation limits pathogen brain entry via histamine-induced vas...

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

We can certainly agree on the fruits. As for the process, maybe we agree too? there is an argument for why we should invest in US labs. However, the Currently growing restrictions on foreign collaborations will slow down advances no doubt. The process must also be global.

I agree with everything except for the focus on American dominance. Science and health is universal.
