Excited to share our lab's first preprint: we used spatial transcriptomics to dissect how aging disrupts the cycling ovary! 🧵 This was an incredible team effort w/ @jenngarrison @Tammyinlab @davidsebfischer AlisonKochersberger @RuthRaichur @sophiamszady

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. bit.ly/3Ya8dEL (1/7)

Excited to share that my latest research on rejuvenating aged oocytes has just been published in @NatureAging with @SpringerNature! 🌟 Read here: xitter.cf/NaturePortfolio/status…
Aged mouse oocytes appear to improve their developmental potential when implanted in follicles from young mice, according to a study in @NatureAging. This research highlights the importance of the follicular microenvironment in ovarian aging. go.nature.com/3MCn1Xp

Hormone-free infertility treatment....well, here we are finally...it's a clinical reality!! 20 years ago, our old IVM alliance: myself, @jeremygthompso2, Johan Smitz and @MdevosMD made this our aspirational goal. Now Dr Lan Vuong and @TuongMHo got there!!

The new class of HHMI investigators average 3.9 papers as corresponding author in Cell, Nature, or Science. 26 out of 26 members of this group previously trained with a PI who is in the National Academy of Sciences or who was an HHMI investigator themselves.

In my thirties, I was panicking about whether I should freeze my eggs. That led me down a rabbit hole: I wondered whether the reality of fertility treatments really live up to the hype. Listen to my new podcast, Misconception, to find out whether it does. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

A major worldwide software outage has affected many of our systems at Mass General Brigham, as well as many major businesses across the country. Due to the severity of this issue, all previously scheduled non-urgent surgeries, procedures, and medical visits are cancelled today.

First, if you're not familiar with the waggle, it's Nature magic! Watch this video for cool footage and an introduction. youtube.com/watch?v=-7ijI-g4… Aristotle's observations in Historia animalium IX are arguably one of the first instances of observation driven inquiry and science. 2/
