Katalin Kariko’s 'Breaking Through' is an incredible and inspiring read!

Highly recommended for all scientists, esp. young researchers 👇🏼

Her journey is remarkable - despite all the obstacles she had to endure, she just kept going in the pure love of #science 💜

🙏🏼 Katalin Kariko

What's better than publishing a paper? Publishing it next to another paper from your former postdoc's lab. Congratulations, Manuel de la Mata & Team! Full stories on how miRNAs get degraded at doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk… & doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk… Nucleic Acids Res FMI science

To PIs. Your legacy won’t be your pubs or awards, people will forget those. Even many Nobel prize winners are forgotten eventually. Your legacy will be the people you trained. Mentor, support and treat them with respect, so they can continue to be good leaders to future trainees.

The courage of this woman scientist standing up for herself and for what's right reminds me of what Jennifer Doudna said when asked, by a female student, for career advice:

'Walk into every room like you OWN THE PLACE.'

BRAVA! to this person and all
#WomenInSTEM for doing so.

Neuroscientists have been able to peer into the brain of a sleeping octopus for the first time and find remarkable similarities to the way that humans and other vertebrates sleep. Read the nature paper: go.nature.com/3NALaOc

Don't get mad, get equal.

In 2023, its so sad to see this account of #discrimination & #misogyny in science.

Probably every woman and minority who reads this will have far too many of their own similar stories.

Its way past time for this to change..

“Your purpose as a scientist is to make discoveries and gift them to humanity. And those discoveries and that knowledge stays with humanity long after you are gone.”

We have a big announcement!

You may have heard of the ITB (Institute for Translational Bioengineering) and our exciting research into #Organoids . Well, the ITB is now the IHB (Institute of Human Biology)—and our research has suddenly got a lot more exciting 🧵⬇️

📢Sign up now! Registration is open until 7 April 2023 for the 2nd annual #BaCell3D meeting on 8–9 May 2023 in Basel🇨🇭!
The meeting will focus on the latest developments in #organoid and #3D model research! For more information visit our website! fmi.ch/bacell3d/

Thank you Song and Ming Labs & Sergiu P. Pasca for organizing a wonderful #cshlbrain meeting! Was great to meet everyone in person and an honor to present our data on #retina #organoids !

Congrats to our outstanding Postdoc Fides Zenk on her new faculty position EPFL EPFL Brain Mind Institute !! It will be exciting to see the work coming from her independent lab studying epigenetic mechanisms of human brain development using #SingleCell & #organoid technologies!

Check this new position out at our department > bsse.ethz.ch/department/ope…
D-BSSE, ETH Zurich in Basel is such a great place to work! Please RT

Help boost #women scientists' retention from #postdoc to faculty. Ask your funding agencies to fund a Lab Auxiliary for Mothers/Fathers In Science @LAMFIS_Now : A research tech for pregnant postdocs or partners from 3-6 mo before to 3-6 mo after due date. Pls retweet

A thread for skeptics, minimizers & those wondering why it's a big deal:

EVERY SINGLE woman in medicine/science has either been sexually harassed or knows someone who has been. The vast majority of incidents go unreported. Few of the incidents reported lead to consequences

and another one. blood vessel organoid development. Amazing work by Marina Nikolova ZhiSong He 何志嵩 Treutlein lab Gray Camp and colleagues! Congrats!
