Congratulations to our friend @Thomas_Rando, Director of @UCLAstemcell, on receiving the @ISSCR Achievement Award at #ISSCR2023! An enthralling lecture on decades of work to unravel the role of stem cell quiescence in resilience and regeneration 👏

In our research we found that women were told they were too young to lead, too old to lead...and middle age wasn't quite right either. As it turns out no age is the right age to be a woman leader. See my latest @HarvardBiz article for solutions. hbr.org/2023/06/women-…



On #IWD2023, we celebrate trailblazing women like our founding CEO Susan Solomon, as we also recognize the barriers that still make it challenging for #WomenInScience to succeed. Next Friday, join our fireside chat on how far we’ve come and the road ahead: nyscf.org/events/the-roa…


What can history teach us about how to advance gender #equity in STEM? In honor of #WomensHistoryMonth, join us on 3/17 for a conversation between equity advocates Maike Sander @msanderlab & @raekaaiyar to reflect on the progress and challenges ahead: nyscf.org/events/the-roa…


We’re really looking forward to hosting @raekaaiyar from the New York Stem Cell Foundation at our institute next week! She will be talking about #stemcell research @nyscf and their broad efforts to improve #diversity, #equity and #inclusion!

With a very heavy heart, we announce the passing of our CEO and co-founder, Susan Solomon, following a long battle with ovarian cancer. We owe all that NYSCF has accomplished to Susan, and no words can express our gratitude and awe for her catalytic impact on stem cell research.



Today is all about #InclusiveGenetics--Join the Minority Genetic Professionals Network (@minoritygenetic on Twitter) for an #AskMeAnything session. This event will engage providers and patients, plus educators and students. Use #GeneChat to follow the conversation! #MedGeneEd22
