Spotify Wrapped, but make it #Stowers25 version. 🧬

A packed house for the morning session - thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate 25 years of discovery. We're excited for what's ahead this afternoon. #Stowers25

“You are an adventurer. You are an explorer.” Stowers scientists have embraced that mindset, venturing into the unknown and uncovering discoveries no one has ever seen before. Hear more from Scientific Director Kausik Si. ⬇️ Learn about #Stowers25: bit.ly/477ywSr

Also, check us out on NPR.org front page! Congrats again @arg_arginine. Thanks to pioneering structural biology of death domains (DFDs) from @WuLabHarvard and previous collab with Zhijian 'James' Chen @UTSWMedCenter that led us to the protein batteries concept.

✨ Day 1 of the XII Avian Model Systems Meeting is officially underway with scientists from across the globe gathered at the Institute! Together they will showcase the power of avian models in scientific research 🐦🔬 #AvianModels2025 Learn more: stowers.org/events/avian-m…

There's still time to sign up to attend the Avian Model Systems Meeting online. We have an exciting line up of talks and look forward to bringing the community together again 🐣🐔🐦🪶 @ScienceStowers stowers.org/events/avian-m…

Happy #NationalPostdocAppreciationWeek! Our postdocs are driving discovery forward every single day. Hear from President & Chief Scientific Officer @Planaria1 as he shares why their contributions are essential, & why we’re grateful to celebrate them this #NPAW2025.

Some snails can regrow an entire eye. Humans can’t. Here’s what these mollusks are teaching scientists about the organs. sciencenews.org/article/snail-…

Our Summer Scholars have spent the past 8 weeks immersed in hands-on #research, and today, they got to share their discoveries with the Stowers community! #GradSchool #biology Learn more about the program: bit.ly/3SDVdGo

New from @TheScientistLLC: @LabPiotrowski reveals how #zebrafish hair cells regenerate using cell type-specific gene regulation, which may offer new clues in the search for #hearingloss treatments. 📰 Read here: bit.ly/3IsnKMd

New #research from the @LabPiotrowski published in @NatureComms has identified how two distinct genes guide the #regeneration of sensory cells in #zebrafish – which may inspire new strategies for hearing loss treatment & regenerative medicine. (1/2) More: bit.ly/4lxUqTg

🎉 Exciting news! @JorgeMorenoPhD, postdoc in the @Planaria1 Lab, has been named a Helen Hay Whitney Fellow, which will support his #research on the "immortal jellyfish" & its potential to reveal secrets about #aging & #regeneration. (1/2)🧵 Learn more: bit.ly/4cePzSO

🤩Say hi to Alejandro Sánchez Alvarado @Planaria1, a pioneer in the field of regenerative biology whose research has uncovered how some organisms can fully regenerate body parts (or entire bodies🤯)--his fundamental research has enormous implications for regenerative medicine. 1/

Radiolab, an @NPR #podcast, just dropped a great episode with a former @Planaria1 Lab postdoc, now Assistant Professor at @WestVirginiaU, discussing #regeneration in animals, research that was initiated at the Institute! Don’t miss this conversation! 🎧 bit.ly/4iH4hob

It's #BrainAwarenessWeek2025! Understanding the healthy #brain can help us understand how memories are formed and what goes wrong in neurodegenerative diseases like #Alzheimers. 🧠 @dana_fdn #BrainWeek Check out these five facts about the brain: stowers.org/news/five-fact…

BIG thanks to everyone who joined us for #BIGIDEAS2025 last night with Paco Calvo (@MINTLab_umu) & Kate the Chemist! We appreciate your enthusiasm for #science & the thoughtful discussions sparked throughout the evening. Looking forward to the next one! bit.ly/3ZkDWoF

Ever wondered how your #genes know when to turn on or off? 🧬🔌 In our latest #BioBasics episode, @JuliannaHaug, a researcher in the @saukaspengler Lab, explains gene regulatory networks — the circuits that control gene activity. Learn more: bit.ly/4jYJmxR

The Institute mourns the loss of R. Scott Hawley, PhD. A brilliant scientist, cherished colleague, & true mentor. Scott's contributions to our understanding of genetics & passion for training the next generation of scientists will forever be remembered. bit.ly/3WPqqYG

Registration NOW OPEN! 🎉 #BIGIDEAS2025 is back at the Institute on March 5. Come learn about the hidden intelligence of plants from Paco Calvo (@MINTLab_umu) + special guest @K8theChemist. Could plant behavior change how we approach science? Register now: bit.ly/3ZkDWoF
