An important story for scientists and the public alike. A cautionary tale of how sensational media reporting can oversell the science and how scientists with good intentions can be caught up in the frenzy.

A lovely story revealing new cell bio underlying tdp43 spread. The question of whether aggregation precedes proteolytic cleavage or if cleavage is required for aggregation is likely to be hugely important. Also…what are the responsible proteases??! @Hlashuel

Excited to share that I have received the Alzheimer's Association Research Fellowship (AARF-D) Alzheimer's Association. I want to thank my post-doctoral mentor Kapil Ramachandran for all of his support and I look forward to the discoveries we will make. #ENDALZ

So proud of Kalin and so welll-deserved! And a one shot wonder. First application for a fellowship, and she nailed it! Many thanks to Alzheimer’s association for believing in her and her work. Can’t wait to see what it produces.

This is a really solid critique of a paper with questionable methodology which required additional validation that the reviewers did not catch. Kudos to Ben and Etienne for a needed matters arising.

Is the antibody you just got actually hits its target protein? Sadly, many antibodies do not. YCharOs has put 614 antibodies to the test against 65 proteins. Check out the study: doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… Verify your new antibody's specificity: ZENODO.org/communities/yc…

This is gonna be huge for uniting science across institutions. Looking forward to seeing how this develops and for all the great science to come

We are aware of reports that members of the World Central Kitchen team have been killed in an IDF attack while working to support our humanitarian food delivery efforts in Gaza. This is a tragedy. Humanitarian aid workers and civilians should NEVER be a target. EVER.

2024 is the hottest year on record, and it's been hotter than 2023 in part because of a global ban on shipping fuels containing sulfur dioxide. Problem: SO2 causes acid rain, but it cools the globe. How can we just stay cool? A new company might have found the solution. 🧵

A neat geoengineering solution that anyone can meaningfully contribute to

Cat's out of the bag! Honored to receive this recognition of what my lab is working on and where we are headed. All thanks go to the students/postdocs/techs who are bringing us there!

Scientists conducting medical research are facing an existential crisis: Layoffs and budget cuts pushed by President Trump that, they say, jeopardize finding a cure for cancer. Ted Koppel talks with cancer patients taking part in clinical trials for treatments and vaccines,
