Congratulations to Samantha and the Butler lab!
So many thanks to The Marcus Foundation for believing in my research program, and giving my lab the opportunity to develop our stem cell protocols towards restoring somatosensation. Thanks also to @UCLAstemcell for all their support with this gift.

The Butler and @NovitchLab labs turned out for the @UCLA_BRI end of year celebration to honor the equally beloved Felix Schweizer (outgoing director) and @doctorpoe (new director)! @UCLA #Neuroscience is in excellent hands. #tacos

New paper alert from the Butler lab! We have used pseudotime analyses of scRNA-Seq in vivo and in vitro datasets to examine the lineage trajectories in the developing dorsal spinal cord to identify novel regulators of dorsal neural fates. 🧵 https://t.co/CkaPhTQXUq

Summary: Pseudotime analyses of mouse embryonic stem cell-derived dorsal spinal interneurons identifies regulators and lineage relationships between different interneuron populations.

My heart in seeing all the devastation on Maui 💔. I was very young, but I remember visiting beautiful Lahaina as a child, passing through to visit other family on the island. Lahaina has given so much of itself to the world, please give back if you can. 🌺🌴❤️
HOW CAN YOU HELP the people of Maui? Donations: Hawai‘i Community Foundation, this fund is currently being used to support communities affected by the wildfires on Maui: https://t.co/Q45yb3p88t To locate missing loved ones:1-800-RED-CROSS

One should not ignore considerabilty of the investigators whose experiments have been lost!
Have you wronged a stem cell culture if you contaminate it? Do you apologize to it? Insoo Hyun from the @museumofscience explains moral status vs moral considerability @SocDevBio #2023SDB

Thank you Steve! Our successes have been a reflection of your successes.
The ultimate bittersweet celebration - Steve Peckman’s retirement party from @UCLAstemcell. As Steve likes to quote: “What is now proved was once only imagined.” Steve enabled us all (the stem cell scientists @UCLA) to bring that process to fruition. Thank you.
