1/ Per the recent @qedscience.bsky.social discussions, I’m wondering how ppl think about principled consistency in evaluating selection-based criteria in science. E.g., any accomplishment that involves outcompeting other ppl (grad school admissions, publishing, grant apps, awards/fellowships, etc)

1/ Happy to share important work done with my co-author Andrew Khalil in the labs of Rudolf Jaenisch @whiteheadinstitute.bsky.social @mit.edu and David Mooney @harvard.edu @wyssinstitute.bsky.social trying to assess and fix the major problem of transgene silencing in human ESC/iPSC based work

1/ I'd like to share a major part of my postdoctoral work, co-led by @xochitl-luna.bsky.social of Olivia Corradin's lab, and co-supervised by my postdoc advisors Rudolf Jaenisch and Rick Young @whiteheadinstitute.bsky.social @mit.edu. We wanted to see if #iPSC could be used to systematically study

Linde Jacobs’s mother died after a genetic mutation gradually laid waste to her brain. Now the same gene is coming for her own mind. Can she find a way to stop it?

Glad to be here. I'm a postdoc @whiteheadinstitute.bsky.social @mitofficial.bsky.social in the labs of Rudolf Jaenisch and Rick Young, using iPSC models of neurons and glia to better understand their role in health and disease.
