I have had the privilege to train many chinese students over many years. They enriched our lives and did great science. Many are still here and contribute to the US scientific enterprise. The push to revoke student visas is cruel and unnecessary. We must push back. www.npr.org/2025/05/28/g...

The bipartisan framing of Chinese people as dangerous to the United States has been building up for years and has created this deeply racist and xenophobic opening for the Trump administration. I stand with my Chinese colleagues and all of our Chinese students. 🧪

Recently, we found out that our R01 funded through PAR-22-241 was withdrawn by NIAID as the NIH no longer prioritizes research programs related to DEI. This has been devastating news for our young research group, and we are now trying to scram together for a path forward 🧵1/12

How can you use spatial transcriptomics to study spermatogenesis? This review highlights how this technology is being used to study spermatogenesis by preserving tissue context—enabling researchers to explore spatial gene expression, cellular neighborhoods, and molecular changes in the testis.

To celebrate many things (the upcoming holidays and the lab's 2nd bday, Qiqi winning the best trainee talk at the dept retreat, and Shreya getting into med school), we went mini-golfing with our friends from the Grow lab!

In my lab, not all ideas turned into projects as some were too out there or speculative. Today, I share one of the crazy ones - an idea to make a spermbot for targeted drug delivery. Hope it may inspire some future brilliant minds to pursue this topic. haiqichenlab.github.io/pubpdfs/How_...
