Avoid physical contact with people outside your home so we can stop the virus from spreading and reduce the number of deaths in our city. Learn more at toronto.ca/covid19 #StayHomeTO

"By increasing freezer temperatures from −80 to −70 °C, replacing overhead lights with LED bulbs and turning off one fume cupboard, the lab could reduce energy usage by 8% and save around 13 tonnes of CO2 and $2,500 annually." What say you, University of Toronto Biomedical Engineering @ University of Toronto #sustainability

Unfortunately still true.

An amazing *randomized trial* on Twitter+academia: 112 papers were randomly chosen to be shared on twitter by a group with ~58k followers or to not be shared. Papers that were tweeted accumulated 4x more citations compared to non-tweeted papers over 1yr. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32504611/

Can’t stress this enough.

If you succeed within a system it’s hard to see how fucked up it is.

This one is for you Ben Chazaud - I don't think this satellite cell could get any closer to this capillary!

Please follow me for my upcoming views on astrophysics. I'm not an astrophysicist, but I have Googled a ton over the past several days - particularly FB posts by other folks who are also not astrophysicists - and I have figured most of it out.

Someone has been waiting their entire career to use this pun...

Such a great tool for visualising cell signaling! Happy to join the preLights community with this piece highlighting recent bioRxiv work by Terai & co.

These were my symptoms. I was misdiagnosed for 5 months, by which time #OvarianCancer had spread. If you have these symptoms ask for an endovaginal ultrasound & blood tests to check cancer antigen levels. See a gyn/onc. I’m 43. No one suspected #OvarianCancer

Great initiative by Université d'Ottawa | University of Ottawa. Hopefully University of Toronto Chris Yip takes similar stops so we can all have a safer fall semester.

Very proud of this work by current postdoc and former PhD student. Pioneering studies on the electrophysiology of human muscle cells in 3-D culture!

Amazing speaker lineup! Don't miss this webinar!

🔥🚨 Hot off the press!!! mcguiganlab's first paper with Gilbert Lab is now out in Adv. Funct. Mater., where Bella Xu and Sadegh Davoudi have created an in vitro Muscle Endogenous Repair (MEndR) assay. #myotwitter #skeletalmuscle #regeneration onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

Thank you Medicine by Design for this story about our MEndR assay and for the support over the years!
