I'm excited to share that I will be starting my lab at NTU Singapore. It is bittersweet to be moving halfway around the world. On one hand, I'm excited for a new adventure. I have spent my entire adult life chasing this dream, and it's finally happening. On the other hand, I

The story behind this is wild. Most of the time you simply cannot turn pure $$ into accelerated tech breakthroughs. The tech tree moves in mysterious ways etc. However, for this specific drug, the Gates Foundation realized over 25 years ago that Tropical Infectious Disease is

Tou Thao served nearly 5 years in prison even though he never touched George Floyd and was simply handling crowd control on that day. He missed birthdays and Christmas holidays, watched his kids grow up without him. I don't want to relitigate the circumstances of George Floyd's

I read this yesterday and haven't been able to stop thinking about this. They waited half an hour for an ambulance. In Toronto. They asked if they should just take the dying man to the hospital. Somehow, they were told no. Wait.

To commemorate Jim Watson's passing and the complete demise of science Twitter, I just wanted to reminisce on the last time this website felt like the center of the scientific world. In 2018, Eric Lander, then the most powerful man in science, gave a brief toast to Jim Watson
From my biography of Francis Crick, this is in my view the most thrilling moment in all of science and it was all Watson's. Perhaps nobody will ever have a moment as significant as this: There was one more eureka moment to come, and it would be all Watsonâs. Crick and Watson

"If monkeys can be engineered to mimic Alzheimerâs or autism, some ethicists asked, what stops someone from eventually gene editing humans to âfixâ similar conditions?" I'm sorry but bioethicists should to be made to do minipreps and western blots for the rest of their careers
Chinese scientists have created monkeys with schizophrenia and autism, research thatâs shunned in the US and Europe due to ethical concerns

This is at once true and useful, and also what is wrong with science in the 21st century. Being a good scientist is about understanding a field well, thinking of unique hypothesis, and performing experiments carefully to address them. Being a *successful* scientist OTOH ...
I am often asked what the one skill is that young scientists should work on the most. My answer: your storytelling via presentations. The better you present, the more your ideas travel, the more doors open, and the more people want to work with you. A few tips: Have one clear
