Rapid fire presentations of current and past @StanfordCVI early career investigators, many of whom now have their own labs and are forging ahead into new frontiers with incredible progress🔥@BCVSearlyCareer #BCVS24 @AHAMeetings @AHAScience

My postdoc Fedir @SZBL gave some thoughts about #hiPSC derived #ECs and their applications on #JMCC authors.elsevier.com/a/1j6Sc54GVpoJ9

Thrilled to share our recent perspectives on #organoids in the #cardiac research field written by my student @#Shenzhenbaylaboratory,#SZBL degruyter.com/document/doi/1…

I am very proud of my student Hao who wrote a comprehensive review on the maturation and proliferation of #hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes. doi.org/10.1186/s13287…

Enjoyed a beautiful night out at @American_Heart #BCVS2023 in Boston with @StanfordCVI trainees, alumni, and faculty. Thank you all for dedication on advancing cardiovascular health! @SeanM_Wu @AHAMeetings @StanfordDeptMed @AHA_Research @StanfordCTSurg @HeartBobH @NancyatHeart

Bonus #8: Not checking in with your mentee about what they may need 👩‍🎓 Everyone has a different working style so while it’s your job to guide your student through the process of writing a paper, do check in with them about what kind of help would be most beneficial to them.

#7: Thinking reading the literature will teach writing 👩‍🏫 Most students don’t know what good and bad writing looks like and “the literature” contains both. Provide your mentees with quality writing training instead -- whether facilitated by you or someone else.

#6: Having your mentee write a complete draft before you discuss what the story and flow of your paper will be 📝 It’s is demoralising for anyone to get a draft completely ripped apart. It’s also a waste of time. Give feedback throughout the writing process instead!

#5: Not explaining what you didn’t like about their writing 💬 Whenever you revise your students’ writing, provide reasons for your edits. If writing the comments takes too much time, record a video walking your student through your edits.

#4: Not setting internal deadlines throughout the writing process 📆 You may think that enforcing deadlines comes across as pushy but a clear timeline helps everyone! Do include your student in the process of creating the timeline.

#3: Telling your mentees that they should tell a story in their paper without defining what that is 🎬 I see this alllll the time. “Story” means everything and nothing if you don’t specify which exact elements the paper needs to include to tell said story.

#2: Only editing the grammar, punctuation and syntax of your mentees’ work 📋 First drafts usually benefit the most from structural comments to make sure the paper tells a single and compelling story. Do that before you spend hours on moving commas.

#1 Not teaching your students the steps that are part of the writing process 🙆 The main reason novice writers procrastinate on the task to write a paper is that they don’t know how to get started and break this huge and overwhelming project into manageable chunks.

Macrophages mess with ❤️ rhythm ⚡️ transcriptomics and protein data describe 3-fold expansion of these leukocytes in patients with atrial fibrillation. Among the top expressed genes: osteopontin (SPP1), catalyzing atrial fibrosis and inflammation ❤️‍🔥 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our group (@yaniv_lab/@KarinaYaniv) is interested in organ-specific specialties in vessel formation & function. We study mechanisms of development & regeneration of vasculature in various organs. We pay special attention to the plasticity & diversification of #lymphatics [1/2]
