Science peeps: Looks like SciENcv updated the digital certificate used to sign Biosketch and Current & Pending documents without notification. The old certificate expires Saturday, September 26, 2026. SciENcv docs before that date may fail validation in eRA Commons delaying or blocking submission.

Defending PhD student, looking over their thesis: “If I knew then what I know now, I could’ve done all of this in like 9 months.” A thread about my favorite pioneering cave explorers and why I don’t think AI will ever “solve” biology.

Excited to announce I just posted a new preLight showcasing the work of @thegaaa.bsky.social in the lab of @thewooj.bsky.social on the effects of 3D confinement on muscle stem cell proliferation and differentiation using an asymmetric hydrogel bilayer model. Check out the post and their paper below:
