Excited to share our latest Perspective in @JACS_Au! We explore the potential of DNA nanotags for enhancing multiplex single-particle EM imaging and in situ cryo-electron tomography. Check it out here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… #DNANanotags #ElectronMicroscopy #CryoET

NeurIPS acknowledges that the cultural generalization made by the keynote speaker today reinforces implicit biases by making generalisations about Chinese scholars. This is not what NeurIPS stands for. NeurIPS is dedicated to being a safe space for all of us. We want to address the comment made during the invited talk this afternoon, as it is something that NeurIPS does not condone and it doesn't align with our code of conduct. We are addressing this issue with the speaker directly. NeurIPS is dedicated to being a diverse and inclusive place where everyone is treated equally.

Today, CRI Director @SJMorrison_ was honored w/ @ASH_hematology's E. Donnall Thomas Lecture & Prize for his work in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) biology. For nearly 25 years, his lab has performed paradigm-shifting research that has changed how scientists understand regulation of HSC function. #ASH24 #relentlessdiscovery cri.utsw.edu

Early Thanksgiving lab dinner at Burnin92 Korean BBQ & Skewers 🍖 Seems like (not) a coincidence that we had kbbq for Thanksgiving last year too! Thankful for delicious meat @SihanSean @YoonKimUTSW @QK15622518 @LucasaEast @Burg1ess @yipengxie_utsw

So sad I missed the lecture yesterday evening, hopefully I can see Ardem's Piezo tattoo and arm stretch in real life one day. But I see some familiar faces from the A team in the crowd! @immunologyliz @HiroTheHero_PhD @jazibuddin

omg this is awesome

Honored to be one of @ardemp’s special dinner guests for his Harvey Lecture @RockefellerUniv. Such a fun and inspiring night celebrating Ardem, piezos, and the joy of science.

CRI's @SJMorrison_ & @RJDLab have been named to @Clarivate's 2024 Highly Cited Researchers list for the 7th year in a row. "The opportunity to do science every day is a privilege." We're proud of their ongoing #relentlessdiscovery toward treatments of tomorrow. #HighlyCited2024 cri.utsw.edu

I even found Woo-ping Ge (@ge5599) (sometimes known as the nicest guy in science), formerly of @CRI_UTSW and now a senior member of the Chinese Institute for Brain Research (@chinese_brain), who has a small army of students innovatively studying brain metabolism. Go WP!

My new favorite word: sonder. It's the profound awareness that every person you encounter has experienced a lifetime of hopes, fears, loves, and heartaches that you'll never know. Each moment of sonder is a reminder to appreciate how little we truly grasp about others' lives.

I am incredibly honored to be selected for this year’s NIH Director’s New Innovator Award alongside many outstanding scientists! I am deeply grateful for the support from @ColumbiaMPT, @ColumbiaSysBio, @columbiacancer, @Columbia and former mentors @SageJulien,@LabWinslow,@JswLab.

As the new Director of the Eugene McDermott Center for Human Growth and Development at #UTSW, Ralph DeBerardinis, M.D., Ph.D., succeeds Dr. Helen Hobbs and will focus on pioneering research in computational genomics, population genetics, and more. bit.ly/3Niyiwp 🔬

Dangerous love! 😂😂

We had a lovely little @scrippsresearch faculty gathering today to celebrate @liye_tsri becoming an @HHMINEWS investigator earlier this year. Celebrating big—literally—with these giant letters!
