I saw it firsthand at the #Lindau2025 Nobel Laureates meeting--international young scientists welcomed and recruited in Germany and elsewhere. Some of the very best are leaving, and many of the best will no longer come. https://t.co/5TtqpRIYIx

Something is happening with our culture...

Timing, talent, and teamwork

It was the privilege of a lifetime to study computer science at MIT. But when it became clear that the university would not protect me from the ongoing harassment and threats, I had no choice but to leave my Ph.D. program and abandon my dream. All because I am Jewish.

This is effectively a cure for type 1 diabetes. Autologous, (chemically) reprogrammed iPSCs were engineered from a patient's fat cells and injected back into her stomach. After ~2.5 months, she no longer needed insulin and now enjoys ice cream + candy like a normal person.

Incredible news out of the Weizmann Institute, just days after Iranian missiles destroyed parts of its campus. The European Research Council (ERC AdG) announced its latest grant winners. Israel took home 12. Weizmann alone won 6! To put that in perspective: Oxford University,

I wrote an Op-Ed about the government's attacks on Harvard. Please share with anybody who thinks these attacks help anybody. https://t.co/NvsZIn7XAE

🎉 Our new paper on live, intracellular #ClickChemistry just posted in @NatureComms! Huge shoutout to lead author @KeqingN for all of the hard work 🙌🏼 Check it out 👉🏼 https://t.co/jDSGtnDBWx

The current attack of the US government is devastating. The internationals in my lab are asking can I come to work today ? I told them NO because I���m afraid government officials will come to arrest them - those are LEGAL international scientists that just lost their visas due to

The NIH notified me yesterday that there is currently no policy that supports applying for a R00 that is associated with a terminated K99. So now, both the postdoc K99 (Harvard, $250k) and the R00 (non-Harvard institution TBD, $750) are BOTH effectively terminated.

It's just a drink @cees_dekker.

Enjoyed a good dinner at @LuigiPomata in Cagliari, Sardinia.
