My lab at @WeizmannScience was completely demolished by the Iranian missile a few days ago. This is hard and sad as nothing was left to save. We study heart regeneration and regenerative medicine. As such, we will regenerate, regrow and rebuild. The one thing that wasn't gone is

This is deeply concerning and totally unacceptable. Acts of violence and intimidation have no place in our communities. We stand with our Jewish neighbors against antisemitism. Everyone deserves to live, pray and do business without fear in Massachusetts. https://t.co/ur8pOgdTrf

An in depth expose of the attack on and illegal halting of @NIH funding! For so long there’s been bipartisan support for science and medicine. This is not the way to enact reform..and it is devastating science in the US, especially medical schools

Administration officials pressured the NIH to avoid clear advice from the agency’s own lawyers to restart grant funding now.

This was, of course, a huge group project. Thanks to @XAdiconis and Nathan Haywood for handling much of the experimental work, and @jzlevin for leading the project. The long read work wouldn’t have been possible without @AzizAlkhafaji, @KiranGarimella, and their groups. 13/n

📢 Our latest paper is out in @CellCellPress! Led by the multi-talented @XinheZheng, we accelerated AAV-based gene delivery to 2 days & enabled in vivo CRISPR screens with single cell-level readout, a leap from existing capabilities 🤯 How does it work? (1/8)
