Thank you @tedcruz for talking with me and affirming your support for #Cancer research. I urge you to support ALL science - research in diabetes, heart defects, dementia, infectious diseases, fundamental cell biology, and beyond!
"Shoutout to @Angela_Ting_PhD for turning a chance encounter with Ted Cruz into a pitch for #HHS & #NIH research funding! The senator read it & promised support. Incredible advocacy! 👏

Plez repost: I am going to 🦋. In this last post, I ask you to speak up against the deliberate erosions of our ability to innovate and to make sound decisions based on facts, data & empathy. President @elonmusk & Vice President @realDonaldTrump (not typo) need to hear us!

Each month an #egg is ovulated from the #ovary, starting the journey of reproduction. But how does ovulation occur?🥚
Our latest work in @NatureCellBio led by @LastChrisThomas and @Tabea_Marx, describes the control of #ovulation using live imaging.

I love this fundamental discovery science success story! Curiosity driven research birthed a new era of molecular medicine - congratulations and well deserved Drs. Ambros and Ruvkun! We need discovery and curiosity to remain a foundation of science.
BREAKING NEWS
The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

Excited to share our preprint of my PhD work in the Jasin lab @MSKCancerCenter! We find that CRISPR Cas9-induced DNA double strand breaks, even at a single locus, cause large-scale loss of heterozygosity.
