Academic tourism at its finest ⛰️ Thank you SIBBM for the excellent meeting! #SIBBM2024

Finally out nature! “Chimeroids” as powerful avatars of the human Brain can recapitulate unique features and responses of individual people. Congrats to our outstanding co-leads Noelia Antón-Bolaños, Irene Faravelli👩‍🔬👩‍🔬and all the team!🧫🧠 nature.com/articles/s4158…

1. This summer I've been thinking a lot about "cognitive load" which is term that has multiple definitions but for me means something like "the amount of processing, analysing, thinking, & deciding I can do in a day before my brain stops working" here's a short thread about that

Why the octopus? Some of you asked this during the conference. Here’s the story: The null Arabidopsis ago1 mutant looks like a little squid. That’s why in 1998, Bohmert et al. named the gene after Argonauta argo, the shell octopus on Laura’s thesis cover. doi.org/10.1093/emboj/…

Skipping through a resistance continuum How do cancer cells adapt to drug treatments?💊 nature, Itai Yanai Gustavo França &al show that cancer cells transition through a trajectory of epigenetically diverse states, progressively increasing fitness & drug resistance #sciart🧵

Such a cool idea to represent how cancer cells acquire mutations that make them resistant to treatment! Check out the art and the science below 👇

Yet another 💣 from Marzia Munafò, this time illustrating a cool study on cancer cell state transitions! Truly evokes my nostalgia of skipping stones as a kid, and the fact that summer is coming to an end makes this apt metaphor all the more timely - beautiful work 🤩👏

Bringing someone’s science and ideas to life is an absolute joy for me ✨

Cancer cells adapt and overcome treatments, but it's not as simple as flipping a switch. It’s more like adjusting a dimmer switch. Itai Yanai and his team New York University found that cancer cells develop drug resistance through gradual epigenetic changes. bit.ly/3XwPjcf
