So honored to spend time transplating this wonder book from Dr. Heard @stephenbheard.bsky.social during the quarantine time back to 2022!
Look what came! Chinese Simplified translation of 'The Scientist's Guide to Writing'. Thanks to translator Peibo Xu @peibo.bsky.social.

I can add this to my growing shelf of translations of my books that I cannot understand 🙂🧪
Check out our lab's @creminslab.bsky.social new work! new computational method for imaging-based chromatin tracing data!

Big congrats to @dingliu.bsky.social ! Glad to see this beautiful work is finally out.
Nice story on fabulous new work from @dingliu.bsky.social in my lab, just out today!...
Two dueling sets of hypothalamic neurons—one that responds to isolation and one to reunion—help maintain a mouse's social homeostasis, a new study reveals.

I have been talking to the media, Time, Fortune, NBC, etc., to explain how the onslaught on science and NIH will impact the health of all Americans. Everyone knows someone who has cancer, heart disease, or depression. Spread the word about how cutting science impacts all.

Knowing how to give a good talk is a crucial skill to have, but it's mostly not formally taught very well. Here's my strategy for how to prepare for the presentation, actually present it, and then answer the questions.

When Jerry Seinfeld is refining a joke, he works very hard to figure out what is the actual core funny part, so he knows what he can strip away. Same with your idea: you have to figure out what is its essence, to know what is the simplest form of it to work on. -Michael Fischbach @mfgrp.bsky.social

It's my great pleasure to present the next big preprint from SheqLab! An exciting application of our O-MAP platform that I hope will transform the study of nuclear architecture.

What separates the best research scientists from the rest, asks Keith Yamamoto (UCSF). There is no secret. The best scientists are simply reaching for the big discoveries. This means taking risks, which is really what's behind the joy of discovery.
