You're probably not using a 1980's cell phone today, so why are students still learning biology with exhustive text and abstract, static figures? Time to change things up with our new Animated Textbooks! Learn more at smart-biology.com

Sylvia Serfaty of NYU Courant has made key contributions to the study of nonlinear partial differential equations, variational problems, and statistical physics problems, earning her the 2024 Maryam Mirzakhani Prize in Mathematics. ow.ly/F78750QHPWj #NASaward #mathematics

A burst of evolutionary innovation occurred with the origin of snakes, a new Science study finds. The results highlight that many of the most spectacular changes in life histories involved macroevolutionary “singularities.”

Happy to share our recent review about epigenetic memory! Congrats to Mencia Espinosa-Martínez María Alcázar Fabra! We hope this review is useful for some of you! And thanks to reviewers, editors and Science Advances for helpful feedback, and featuring it on the cover! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Future grad students: if you’re really interested in science, you will go to any university that accepts you (forgetting about any rejections from the prestigious ones) and you will do great science there and you will make our world better.

How did we lose our tail? A simple question.. but it wasn't really asked before! We discovered a plausible scenario for the genetic mechanism that led to tail loss. Amazing that such a big change may have been caused by such a small genetic event. nature.com/articles/s4158… Bo Xia

ATR blocks telomerase from converting DNA breaks into telomeres | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Yesterday a 1st year rsrch scholar was complaining that his guide threatened him of “not giving” PhD.
I don’t understand why we think that the guide “gives” PhD. It is earned, not given in charity. Due to this “Huzoor mai Baap” syndrome, we think ourselves as Demi-Gods.

This #WorldCancerDay we’re taking a look at some of the ways our researchers are working to better understand cancers and how to treat and detect them 🔬🥼

🆘World Cancer Day!🆘
Our work uses PET & fluorescence to locate & remove primary & metastatic cancer.
We started two companies to get the molecules into the clinic!❤️‍🩹

Here's a stunning Imaris 3D/4D Imaging animation of the 2nd mitosis of a 2 cells stage human embryo stained with our probes SPY555-DNA (DNA, green) and SPY650-tubulin (microtubules, magenta). There is so much to see in this movie:

Just shared at Keystone Symposia a new @ArcInstitute discovery of the bridge RNA recombinase mechanism: a new class of natural RNA-guided systems that retains the key property of programmability from RNAi and CRISPR while enabling large-scale genome design beyond RNA and DNA cuts
