According to Jay Stein PhD ’68, the Jay A. Stein (1968) Professorship of Biology at MIT "is a way to pass the baton of science, from one generation to the next—hopefully, forever." science.mit.edu/passing-the-ba…

Dear Colleagues--Adam Martin , Lindsay Case and I are starting to plan the 2025 Cell Contact and Adhesion GRC. One thing we'd like to do is include some speakers from Pharma/biotech. Anyone who has suggestions can DM or email me: [email protected]

Congrats to nat clarke and Uzuki Horo for their study being highlighted by American Society for Cell Biology.

So much successful science involves people behind the scenes making the jobs of faculty, students, and postdocs possible. They don't often get the recognition they deserve, but are truly appreciated by those they support. Great job John Fucillo, you are a pleasure to work with!

I am incredibly excited and honored to be running for the Secretary position for the Society of Developmental Biology! If you are a member, I would appreciate your support and your vote. I'd love the opportunity to serve our community in this way. Thanks!! Plz RT!

IMO in career decisions, too many people optimize for what they think they’re entitled to when instead, opting into cool shit and proving themselves will often result in way better outcomes than they expected in the first place

Online now: Postdoc Nat Clarke's nat clarke excellent work on a mechanism that coordinates tissue folding and axis extension. Great job and congratulations Nat!

Join us at the 2025 Cell Contact and Adhesion Gordon Research Conferences. Great people and great science!
