Excited to present our preprint on #singlecell analyses of #axolotl forebrain organization, neurogenesis & regeneration! Fantastic collab with Tanaka lab Elly Tanaka, huge congrats to Katharina Lust, Ashley Maynard, Tomás Gomes (@tomsgoms.bsky.social) &team D-BSSE, ETH Zurich IMP! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

and another one. blood vessel organoid development. Amazing work by Marina Nikolova ZhiSong He 何志嵩 Treutlein lab Gray Camp and colleagues! Congrats! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A thread for skeptics, minimizers & those wondering why it's a big deal: EVERY SINGLE woman in medicine/science has either been sexually harassed or knows someone who has been. The vast majority of incidents go unreported. Few of the incidents reported lead to consequences 1/6

Help boost #women scientists' retention from #postdoc to faculty. Ask your funding agencies to fund a Lab Auxiliary for Mothers/Fathers In Science @LAMFIS_Now : A research tech for pregnant postdocs or partners from 3-6 mo before to 3-6 mo after due date. Pls retweet

Check this new position out at our department > bsse.ethz.ch/department/ope… D-BSSE, ETH Zurich in Basel is such a great place to work! Please RT

Congrats to our outstanding Postdoc Fides Zenk on her new faculty position EPFL EPFL Brain Mind Institute !! It will be exciting to see the work coming from her independent lab studying epigenetic mechanisms of human brain development using #SingleCell & #organoid technologies!

Thank you Song and Ming Labs & Sergiu P. Pasca for organizing a wonderful #cshlbrain meeting! Was great to meet everyone in person and an honor to present our data on #retina #organoids!

📢Sign up now! Registration is open until 7 April 2023 for the 2nd annual #BaCell3D meeting on 8–9 May 2023 in Basel🇨🇭! The meeting will focus on the latest developments in #organoid and #3D model research! For more information visit our website! fmi.ch/bacell3d/

We have a big announcement! You may have heard of the ITB (Institute for Translational Bioengineering) and our exciting research into #Organoids. Well, the ITB is now the IHB (Institute of Human Biology)—and our research has suddenly got a lot more exciting 🧵⬇️

“Your purpose as a scientist is to make discoveries and gift them to humanity. And those discoveries and that knowledge stays with humanity long after you are gone.” - Carolyn Bertozzi on the scientist's purpose in our new podcast episode Listen here: shows.acast.com/nobelprizeconv…

“Mentors can be a precious resource. It takes time to cultivate mentorship relationships, but it is worth it!” Meet NCCR RNA & Disease alumna Giovanna Brancati Giovanna Brancati in her portrait for NCCRWomen: bit.ly/3oUkOyi FMI science Schweizerischer Nationalfonds (SNF) TWIST Basel 500 Women Scientists

Neuroscientists have been able to peer into the brain of a sleeping octopus for the first time and find remarkable similarities to the way that humans and other vertebrates sleep. Read the nature paper: go.nature.com/3NALaOc

The courage of this woman scientist standing up for herself and for what's right reminds me of what Jennifer Doudna said when asked, by a female student, for career advice: "Walk into every room like you OWN THE PLACE." BRAVA! to this person and all #WomenInSTEM for doing so.

What's better than publishing a paper? Publishing it next to another paper from your former postdoc's lab. Congratulations, Manuel de la Mata & Team! Full stories on how miRNAs get degraded at doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk… & doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk… Nucleic Acids Res FMI science

What a privilege to present our work at #ARVO2024! #TeamIHB #RocheInnovation #humanmodelsystems
