We are hiring! Join us in building virtual embryo models — an ambitious and exciting mission that goes beyond the widely acclaimed “virtual cell” initiative! 🚨 Are you a technology developer, developmental biologist, or machine learning expert interested in creating predictive, virtual 3D mammalian embryos to advance human health, particularly for congenital heart diseases? We’re looking for applicants with expertise in genomics, developmental biology, generative AI, or related fields to join our visionary project. The selected candidate will work within a multidisciplinary team of biologists, engineers, machine learning experts, mathematicians, and physicists. We offer an enriching, collaborative environment where post-docs, students, and team members can develop into leaders in both academia and industry. Join us on this exciting journey to shape the future of human health! ! 🚀 Nature career link below: nature.com/naturecareers/… Email: xiaojie at stanford dot edu

Grateful and honored to be awarded a Postdoctoral Fellowship from @PhRMAfoundation in Drug Discovery to advance research on innovative treatments for fibromyalgia! Huge thanks to the whole @KhannaLabUF for the incredible mentorship and support. Excited for what’s ahead!

Postdocs do a lot of invisible labor in academia. The majority of which is helping PhD students. Many of us are happy to do it, but when students fail to acknowledge that help, especially in front of the PI, it kinda kills the vibe. Give people credit for their work.

Since we're talking about funding of absurd research by NIH and other federal agencies, the funded scientists: - watching flies fuck - giving rats massages - spending years digging into why jellyfish glow - tracking penguin poop from space - using horseshoe crab blood

"Postdoc positions can be exploitative." My latest story—about a study showing that international postdocs in the U.S. are paid less and received less careeer support and guidance than U.S. citizens. #AcademicChatter #postdocs @ScienceCareers science.org/content/articl…

Let me introduce: InstanSeg 🦠🔬💻👩‍🔬 This *would* have been a short thread about Thibaut Goldsborough’s PhD work… but he solved too many problems. Now it's a long thread about 2 preprints, a whole new approach to cell segmentation & #opensource software to make it easy to use

My favourite discovery ever has just come online. Can I please tell you about some seriously wacky molecular biology? The story starts with a reverse transcriptase that SOMEHOW defends bacteria from viruses. (👇 I recommend sound ON for the video 🎹) 1/

We first saw evidence for this ~ 2019. We were super surprised & skeptical. After 5 years of quintuple cross-validation, we feel confident to share with the world.

This sounds like a good book countering simplistic & naive notions.
