Joyful scenes unfold at the 2024 Doctoral Commencement. Congratulations to all the new Penn Engineering graduates! #PennEngineeringProud

After a quick break, we’re back with Sydney Shaffer @‌sydshaffer Penn Medicine to talk about "Tracking cell state plasticity in injury and cancer.” She opens with an activity she does with her child—tracking biological changes through time using butterflies. #KIsymposium

Can’t stop thinking about why the Rittenhouse driver hasn’t been named or charged yet Mayor Cherelle L. Parker DA Larry Krasner like for real, what’s up?

Graphene Hall sensors are awesome for magnetic cytometry, but sensor performance can be highly variable. What if each sensor in an array was individually tunable to optimize its performance and minimize variability? Vasant Iyer's has you covered: lnkd.in/epnhmWPC

New #openaccess #research from James Eberwine, david issadore and co. points to distinct mechanisms of clonal expansion and segregation of #SNVs in different regions of the #mitochondrial #genome in individual #neurons and #astrocytes. bit.ly/3LNwUBn #heteroplasmy

Josh Shapiro called Netanyahu "one of the worst leaders of all time." But anti-Israel activists have mobilized against him—and him alone—being on the Democratic ticket. I wrote about the campaign against Shapiro & the perverse politics of Jewish identity: theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

I could not be more proud that Stephanie Yang, a PhD student in our group, won best paper award this year at microTAS!!!!!! I think anyone who saw her talk this year will not be surprised by this news. Go Stephanie!

Obama: When I was president, I had been talking to scientists for a while so during my last year in office, we put together a pandemic playbook for how to deal with the eventuality of a pandemic.. When Trump came in, we gave over this playbook and he threw it out. I want to be
