Species-specific developmental timing is associated with global differences in protein stability in mouse and human biorxiv.org/content/10.110… new preprint from James Briscoe. What controls the rate of development is one of the most central and least understood questions in devbio!

Our lab is growing! Interested in multi-modal/spatial single-cell analysis? We are seeking applications for experimental and computational staff scientists until 2/15, and are always recruiting postdocs. More info at satijalab.org/join_contact. Just DM me a CV to apply, please RT!

The best cells speak for themselves. Our new system, intMEMOIR, allows cells to record lineage history in a digital format that can be recovered by imaging: biorxiv.org/content/10.110….

Non medical friends, let’s have a chat about masks. So, you’ve bought yourself a box of N95 masks and you think you’re good for #COVID19. Let me tell you what my hospital makes me do EVERY YEAR to make sure my N95 mask fits (yes, they come in sizes). Watch out: long thread ahead!

As data scientists, we (with Rachel Thomas) have done our best to look at the data around covid-19, and what it means to you and your community. Our view: it is appropriate to be very concerned, and significantly change your lifestyle, right now. 1/13 fast.ai/2020/03/09/cor…

I feel bad for all those grad students who are defending their dissertations now and cannot have public defenses. This does not make your PhD any less important! Be strong and you will have cool stories to tell your kids and grandchildren!

Reviewers: What is the most ethical thing to do right now when reviewing a manuscript? Go easy and not ask for new experiments since labs probably won’t be operational for a couple of months?

I'm very excited to share our new paper, out today in Developmental Cell describing a strategy for engineering neuronal circuits with light! Arlotta Lab 1/12 zpr.io/tQYpf

Check out our new review in Neuron, proposing next generation strategies to "upgrade" the physiological relevance of human brain organoids. An effort led by Jean-Paul Urenda and Ashley Del Dosso, amazing PhD students in the lab! authors.elsevier.com/a/1bnzg3BtfGx3…

We owe the new Pfizer Inc. and Moderna mRNA vaccines to Dr. Katalin Karikó, a scientist who would not give up on her idea. #womeninSTEM #WomenInMedicine mRNA: How a once-dismissed idea became a leading technology in the Covid vaccine race statnews.com/2020/11/10/the… via STAT

Our paper is online🦃! no better timing to thank my mentors collaborators and colleagues Feng Zhang Arlotta Lab Aviv R Joshua Levin Sean Simmons Ashwin Shetty Simona Lodato Elise Robinson grateful to learn from you & proud of the work we accomplished together science.sciencemag.org/content/370/65…

Posting a paper purporting to show that COVID is reverse transcribed into host genomes based on - generously - very circumstantial evidence right as an RNA vaccine is being rolled out in the face of rampant anti-vax sentiments is irresponsible. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

3D genome architecture and gene expression are both critical for brain development and diseases. Our bioRxiv describing the first 3D genome structure of a single brain cell, and its gene expression changes after birth, is now in Cell: authors.elsevier.com/c/1cSX0L7PXcMTc

We are proud to share our paper with a comprehensive single cell RNA-seq, ATAC-seq and spatial atlas of the developing mouse neocortex, led by Daniela Di Bella from the Arlotta Lab and Ehsan Habibi from Aviv Regev’s lab. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our work on improving photosynthesis achieved a major milestone and is now published in PNAS (bityl.co/8ONN). Read about it in Cornell chronicle here bityl.co/8ONS or read on for paper in 3 tweets! Cornell MBG Maureen Hanson

The first paper from my post doc with Z Josh Huang is finally out! I feel privileged to have contributed to these cortical genetic tools. Thanks for the wonderful team Katie Matho billy Jesse Levine Daniela Di Bella Arlotta Lab

Promising early results show that longstanding research from The Melton Lab may have paved the way for a breakthrough treatment of Type 1 diabetes. Read more about this potentially life-changing therapy here bit.ly/3ncSmDb

RT please: we are hiring!! #ERC funded positions ( both at PhD and post doc level) are open in the #Lodatolab to start in the fall 22!Do you love cortical development, single cell omics and early neuronal activity?are you a curious, friendly and driven person?Then, contact us!
