Celebrating our super postdoc Davide Pradella, who will soon start his own lab. We expect amazing things from him!

We are seeking a highly motivated scientist with expertise in mouse embryo manipulation and the generation of genetically engineered mouse models. This is a permanent position with competitive compensation. Contact me via direct message if interested. Please share!

Obama: Every day you wake up to things you just didn’t think were possible. Each day we’re told by those in high office to fear each other. Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated, and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength.

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

If you are looking for a distraction, this seems cool. Sticky ends++. If it works as advertised, seems like it could be a game-changer. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Excellent work!

If you’re applying to your dream lab for an internship/PhD/postdoc, always send a second email 1-2 weeks after the first one if you don’t hear back. I promise we will be grateful rather than annoyed. My email inbox is a disaster and I’m quite junior - and very few of us have secretarial support

Just visited @ifomresearch.bsky.social in Milan. It was a true pleasure to see the direction this cancer research institute has taken. The energy and the enthusiasm of the faculties was contagious. Plus, Milan is a thriving city. European science at the best.

🚨 Fully funded #PhD opportunities at Human Technopole in Milan! 🔬 Apply by 9 June to join top research groups in Comp Bio, Struct Bio, Genomics, Neurogenomics, Mol Cell Bio 🌍 Open to grads worldwide via SEMM 👉 humantechnopole.it/en/news/10-f...

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.
