We are proud to publicly announce the MIT Graduate Student Union! MIT grad student-workers are unionizing to create a healthy and fair working and learning environment for all, by giving us a voice in the decisions that affect us. (1/4) #MITGSU

The MIT Grad Student Union launches today! Grad students do valuable work for MIT & a union will let us collectively bargain for our best interests. Then we can focus on the world-class research we came to MIT to do. Join/stream our rally at 5pm! mitgsu.org #MITGSU

[PLEASE RT] #Vosshalllab is hiring!! Come join our diverse and vibrant community Rockefeller University as a research technician: bit.ly/2Yo4Z5l **you don't have to be bitten by mosquitoes, I promise

This is what we mean when we say that the union is us! MIT Graduate Student Union

Kudos to Debby Silver for so beautifully and concisely describing our work now out in print Neuron - and for so compellingly framing all the exciting future work that we hope is to come on HARs and #HumanBrainEvolution!

Today wasn’t easy. Black people are hurting. Some days more than others, white supremacy hits harder. Today, we’d like to encourage Black folks to do what it takes to take care of themselves. Here are some orgs supporting Black mental health. Non-Black folks, feel free to donate.

Fascinating #chembio review out today on drug resistance discovery and the role of new tools like genome editing and mutagenesis screens! Congrats Ally Freedy and Liau Lab!

Masks are not going anywhere Get cute ones

I made (at least) 5 research-management mistakes as a young academic. You should avoid these. 1/ You should drop everything possible when you get an R&R and turn that right away.

Exciting new lab opening next year at CU Boulder 🦬! Please share with any mathematical epidemiologists or students looking to do impactful work with a brilliant and caring mentor!

Glad to share out latest work in Developmental Cell today. Combining animal and organoid models, we show that KIF26A plays critical roles in numerous aspects of brain development, and KIF26A loss-of-function mutations cause brain malformations in patients. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
