How do adverse life experiences impact our cells at the molecular level, and what does that do to our health? Find out from @jbuenrostro.bsky.social when I host him for @broadinstitute.org's next Broad Discovery Series event.

Genomic sequencing has gotten so fast, so inexpensive, and so rich in information, what if it could be part of our everyday medical care? Come hear what Niall Lennon thinks at the next Broad Discovery Series talk! #clinicalgenomics #precisionmedicine broadinstitute.swoogo.com/Discovery25

Broad Discovery Series

The Broad Discovery Series brings researchers to the stage to discuss and answer questions about some of the most pressing topics in science and medicine today.

Observation: I haven't seen too many Amazon/FedEx/UPS trucks out this Juneteenth, but of the ones I have seen, the drivers have all been Black. In the meantime, middle-aged White guy here has a day off from his desk job. Something seems off there.... 🤔

Are you looking for a #scicomm internship? Just so happens I *have* a scicomm internship! Apply by 2/28 to be a paid summer #intern with the @broadinstitute.org communications team! 👉 broad.io/scicommintern #sciencecommunications #paidinternship #internship

After a brief hiatus, the Broad Discovery Series returns on Feb. 11! Cancer immunologist Lloyd Bod will take us on a tour of the immune system and discuss new insights that may help scientists and doctors leverage its cancer-fighting capabilities more effectively. #cancer #immunology #immunotherapy

Treat yourself by watching this loop for a while. A close-up of the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, seen by the Rosetta spacecraft's OSIRIS camera in 2016 and processed by @landru79.bsky.social. The "snow" is actually dust particles... in front of a moving ocean of stars.

With the end of 2024 rapidly approaching, I realized last night that 2 collaborative projects that I'd been part of for *months* both finally launched this week. I figured I'd share....

I’ve decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief. I’m going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching), but for now I’d like to share a very small sample of the work I’ve been so proud to support (thread)
