Online Now: Aspartate availability drives differential engagement of the malate-aspartate shuttle dlvr.it/TRB143

It’s incredible how ChatGPT gently reminds me of my postdoc clock and gently nudges me to apply for faculty while depicting my time at the bench. Prompt: “make a caricature of me and my work based on all the information you have about me”

🚨 “Controversial Refereeing Casts Shadow Over the Match” In a dramatic turn, a player who should have been sent off for a second yellow remained on the field and scored just minutes later, igniting heated debate. Meanwhile, in a similar situation, a Galatasaray player received a second yellow and was sent off, raising serious questions about the consistency of refereeing decisions. This apparent double standard has made the match a focal point for scrutiny and criticism in European football circles.”

@DebraBarki @shouval It was a great talk, looking forward seeing more from this work.

✨ Honored to present my work at the Cold Spring Harbor Biology of Cancer: Microenvironment & Metastasis conference! ✨ Grateful to my PI Prof. Ruth Scherz-Shouval @shouval, my amazing lab mates, and the organizers for this inspiring event full of groundbreaking science 💪

I had a great pleasure talking about my ongoing postdoctoral work at CSHL Metastasis Meeting @CRI_UTSW

@BernieSanders Probably the immigration officer was sick of seeing Pedro Pascal everywhere.

Yes, we should deport people convicted of serious crimes. But NO, we can’t destroy families who have lived in this country peacefully. Pascual Pedro, a former high school soccer star with no criminal record, was suddenly deported at a routine immigration check-in. Unacceptable.

Congratulations to raising student Yihan Xia for completing his HHMI Summer Undergrad Research Program @CRI_UTSW in Morrison lab.

Great opportunity!

Dr. @SJMorrison_'s lab members, including Julia Phan, showed that retrotransposon transcription activates the innate immune sensors cyclic GMP-AMP synthase and STING, which induce IFN and IFN-regulated genes in HSCs, increasing HSC division and #erythropoiesis. bit.ly/4funTK4

@alteaManzanoLab Congrats Patri 👏Well-deserved

Honored and deeply grateful to receive the "Premio Nacional de Investigación para Jóvenes". Thank you to my mentors and everyone who has supported my work—this recognition motivates me to keep advancing our research in cancer 🙏

@eclien Congrats Evan!

Excited to share the first research publication from our lab! Lipid availability influences ferroptosis sensitivity in cancer cells by regulating polyunsaturated fatty acid trafficking sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Really grateful to have the opportunity to talk about my work from @SJMorrison_ lab at @EACRnews Cancer Metabolism Meeting
