Lovely memories from the 25th anniversary event of the Teichmann lab this month!

I will never get over how good this is! Already on day 3 of @bacell3d.bsky.social organoid conference - great science and discussions, as always!

There’s actual proof that I used to be a researcher myself!

Cooking lunch today, I was shocked: there exist purple potatoes! I ‘d no idea (and didn’t buy them myself; they were sent to me from a company supporting organic local produce & sustainability (by including products super markets would not buy as they ‘re crooked or whatever; highly recommend it!))

What a lovely view to return to work to! Have I said before how much I love living in Berlin?

🧑‍🎄I 'm far from what they call a religious person and yet I find so much joy in celebrating Christmas. I love the lights, the decorations, the family and friends gatherings. Friends, authors, reviewers, colleagues, and wonderful readers - happy holidays everyone! See you next year 🥂

A great journey’s come to an end and I can 100% say this is the most impressive project I had the honor to be a part of in my 4 years as an editor. A huge thank you to all organizers, speakers, participants and my wonderful colleagues, @nandemokaizen.bsky.social Hannah Walters and Veronique Gebala!

Apologies, but manuscripts will have to wait this evening - little fellows are to be prioritized 🤗 Happy Halloween! 🎃

I’m always incredibly excited to go through the monthly physical copy (yes, even though I do know its content). @natcellbio.nature.com

In the 26-year history of our journal @natcellbio.nature.com this has never happened before, but the time has come: Nature Cell Biology is now open to considering #ClinicalTrials . I’m curious to hear what people in the field are up to - please reach out to me! #CellTherapy #stemcells #genetherapy

Ever since I switched to a vegetarian diet, I ‘ve been trying to find new recipes and familiarize myself with a different cooking philosophy. Believe me: #vegetarian & #vegan recipes can be INCREDIBLE! And this is absolutely one of them: cauliflower steak served with roasted potatoes and hummus.

Every single time I see this “he or she”, a glimpse of hope dies inside me.

Back to work, BUT can still not get over Ikaria. So, here it is: one of the healthiest, vegetable-based, traditional dishes that I tried in this blue zone island, called “mageirio” (from the greek verb “mageireuo”, meaning to cook). I loved cooking this 🤗

I am a winter person, but this… I can’t say I’m not liking this :D

Peaceful island morning 🏝️ (I am loving this cold version of cappuccino)

I did wanna take a shot when it came, but couldn’t resist it, so you ‘ll have to imagine it based on the leftovers. As a vegetarian, I can attest to it - islands with such wonderful traditional plant-based recipes make it REALLY easy to abstain from meat. #ikaria #greece

As much as I am already missing handling papers, it’s great to get some time off, especially when your escape location is one of the blue zones of the world: Ikaria, Greece 😍

Just watched the final season of #handmaidstale and came to a very shocking realization, followed by a genuine question: how do the US government and their supporters feel about this story?

Stylianos Lefkopoulos (he/him) @slefkopoulos.bsky.social · 26/06/2025

Got home after @bacell3d.bsky.social truly inspired by the progress in the #organoid field. Transparency, thorough reporting and collaboration can improve the field in the areas of reproducibility and protocol standardization, too. PS huge thanks to the organizers for the wonderful gift below!

Stylianos Lefkopoulos (he/him) @slefkopoulos.bsky.social · 24/06/2025

Wonderful to be back at @bacell3d.bsky.social and so awesome to combine science with a tad of art (I can’t believe this is 100% by hand!)

Have you read our March issue yet? We ‘re introducing #blebbisomes! As usual, lots of interesting stuff on multiple fronts of #CellBiology, including #mitochondria, #MachineLearning, #organelles, #EmbryoPatterning & more! www.nature.com/ncb/volumes/...

Stylianos Lefkopoulos (he/him) @slefkopoulos.bsky.social · 01/01/2025

Happy new year everyone and I 've an exciting announcement to make: @naturecellbiology.bsky.social is now open to considering #preclinical studies & #ClinicalTrials, including #CellTherapy or #genetherapy, among others. Feel free to contact the handling editor for more info (yes, that 'd be me!)

Average German person speaks English at WHAT level? As a non-German individual living in Germany, I can 100% assure you this is NOT what I ‘ve experienced (far from it). So, either this statement is false or Germans actually can speak English, but don’t wanna do it. There are always exceptions ofc.

Hi there, my wonderful authors! From today, I will be on annual leave to return on January 8. I will try to attend to matters/questions/submissions as soon as possible upon my return. I hope you can all get some time to relax and thank you for your patience. Happy holidays! 🎄 ⛄️ ❄️

Anyone else here identifying as LGBTQIA+ in STEM? Advocating for LGBTQIA+ rights, diversity and inclusion in STEM is one of my main goals as a scientist, editor and non-binary individual. Let’s connect!

I just tried to use #Skystats analytics for my account. This tool also generates 2 summaries for your account: a serious one and a funny/nasty one 😅 This is what the funny/nasty one looks for my account 😂😂😂 PS I should probably talk to my therapist about this.

It appears we ‘re well above 1K on this profile, so I think reintroductions are in order! I’m Stelios, and I’m a senior editor at Nature Cell Biology. I handle #stemcell, #DevelopmentalBiology, disease and (pre)clinical studies at the journal. I like to mostly post about papers, but not only 😃

It's been a tradition since I started my editorial career. We had our #NCB2022, #NCB2023; and ofc there 'll also be #NCB2024: I 'll be counting down to the end of 2024, recapping #stemcell/#devbio studies we published at Nature Cell Biology in 2024. Stay tuned!
