Massive 10+ year effort in lab spearheaded by @leonardoaparrar and Kayal (secret account 🤔). Unreal cover by @EmmaVIDALL that says it all.

"Over the last 7 yrs, we published >700 ‘First Person’ interviews...But JCS has been around much longer – in fact, JCS was first established in 1853 as the Quarterly Journal of Microscopical Science (QJMS), re-branded as JCS in 1966" @J_Cell_Sci journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…

Someone decided THIS is what was missing @ucsd

One goal of the SCGE Consortium is to submit IND applications for novel gene editing therapies. As part of this work, we've created a collection of useful resources, templates, and tools for filling out an IND application. Access these free resources at scge.mcw.edu/platform/data/…

There is still time to apply. I'm now looking for someone who likes imaging, for a project like this: cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

We know why some trials worked and others didn't (time of intervention for ex). You can't combine all of them LOL. It's like averaging results of every exam you ever took and conclude you aren't the topper. cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.10…

I was at a barbershop this morning where the guy said his mother and sister think all scientists are hiding information ("there IS a cure for cancer!!"). Gave him 20 min lecture on joys of peer review. Jokes aside surprising how little people know about the scientific process.

Our lab has an open postdoctoral position. Work in the lab ranges from trafficking of neuronal cargoes to developing gene editing therapeutics for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. I'm looking for the right person, project is flexible. Please apply immediately. roylab.org
