While I’m a big fan of new technologies that help us study human biology…there’s still no replacement for animal research! See my article in Gen News. www.genengnews.com/topics/trans...

Why We Still Need Animal Research in a World of AI and Organoids
The portrayal of uncaring scientists without any thought for the animals being used in their research is far from the truth.

Pope Francis died at 88, the Vatican announced Monday, ending a pontificate that sought to reshape the Roman Catholic Church into a more inclusive institution. Cardinals will now decide whether to continue his approach or restore more doctrinaire leadership. Follow live updates: nyti.ms/42RZB9n

As my peers and I, who were postdocs during COVID, now build our labs more than ever it’s clear that people are the most precious resource in the scientific endeavors we pursue. More precious than any deliverable — data, grants or papers — it will always be PEOPLE FIRST scim.ag/4iqGTeA

Static pay, shrinking prospects fuel neuroscience postdoc decline
Postdoctoral researchers sponsored by the National Institutes of Health now toil longer than ever before, for less money. They are responding accordingly.
