Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling?~Dilbert

When genome editing got going, the ability to trace a mammalian embryo's development to organ generation in exquisite detail was not envisioned. Now it's been accomplished by 2 independent groups. A big week in developmental biology science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… @JShendure @ScienceMagazine cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092… @jonathanweisman @CellCellPress nature.com/articles/d41586-0… @nature @ewencallaway

Señora @Claudiashein: Si su gobierno está tan seguro de sus ideas, no debería tener miedo de las nuestras. Hoy publicamos una Carta Abierta a la Presidenta de México en defensa de la libertad de expresión, porque los derechos de las audiencias deben proteger a los ciudadanos, no convertirse en un pretexto para vigilar, regular o desalentar opiniones críticas. A nuestra comunidad: léanla, suscriban abajo y compártanla. Si este mensaje llega a millones de mexicanos, será mucho más difícil ignorarlo. Porque un México libre nunca será un México callado. #MéxicoNoSeCalla #NoALaCensura

Collaborations are moving neuroscience forward. Scientists from 20 institutions (including ours!) created the first brain-wide map of individual neurons’ activity in mice for the @IntlBrainLab. Video from @SWC_Neuro sainsburywellcome.org/web/re…
Two flagship papers from the International Brain Laboratory, now out in @Nature: 🧠 Brain-wide map of neural activity during complex behaviour → doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-0… 🧠  Brain-wide representations of prior information in mouse decision-making → doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-0… +

Our new study shows that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein accumulates & persists in the body for years after infection, especially in the skull-meninges-brain axis, potentially driving long COVID. mRNA vaccines help but cannot stop it🔬🧠🦠🧵👇@cellhostmicrobe cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f…

The power of AlphaFold
The life of each one of us began when a sperm and an egg came together. But what actually happens at a molecular level? Our latest work @PauliGroup @CellPress reveals a conserved fertilization complex that bridges sperm and egg in vertebrates! (1/8) cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…
