I'm leading a series next year designed to provide insight and knowledge to early-stage and aspiring postdocs. What advice would you share with early-stage postdocs to support their success? What did you wish you knew before you started your postdoc?

@AMartinezArias gave a fascinating opening talk on Day 2 of InSDB - ISD 2026 on gastrulation at IISER Berhampur! A crash course in gastrulation as he called it :) Great set of talks & exciting science lined up for the day! @biopatrika

I’m coming to New Orleans in April to give a talk and would love to see about bringing our science to other institutions in the area. Anyone have opportunities for this? Hematopoiesis, cancer biology, stem cells, glycans?

I'd emailed a scientist whose recent paper shaped my perspective on biocatalysis; just to appreciate his paper. He replied with insights into what he’s working on now and also a personalized invite to an upcoming conference. Pause & appreciate. Everyone needs pat on their backs;
