Lovely to see @DrJanetDeane sharing her journey and knowledge about doctoral research! Congrats, Jan! 👩🏻‍🎓

Wyss runners Haleh, Megan, and Tiffany got together for the Bionic5K last weekend. This race was co-founded by Wyss Associate Faculty member @walshharvard to celebrates the power of technology to enable all people to run together. #WyssInTheWorld #Bionic5K

One of the best stories right now in all of sports, not just figure skating.

Wonderful new work from @drmichaellevin @DonIngber at the @wyssinstitute, led by colleagues @mmsperry @halehf. 🧊 Was fortunate to get a behind-the-scenes look at this project last year. Applications to organ transplantation, trauma management, space exploration, and more! 1/3

The Wyss Institute’s Biostasis project identifies drug that induces a state of “suspended animation” and has potential to facilitate organ transplantation. @mmsperry @DonIngber #OrganTransplant wyss.harvard.edu/news/suspended…

New paper, awesome @wyssinstitute team: elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr… "Identification of pharmacological inducers of a reversible hypometabolic state for whole organ preservation" - biostasis!

@ayushnoori @drmichaellevin @DonIngber @wyssinstitute @halehf Thanks for sharing, Ayush!!

It's out! rdcu.be/dwdKO PhD student Angela Tung, former undergrad @AnanyaPavuluri, @mmsperry, @DrPTMcMillen, @WesleyPClawson, @pai_vaibhav, @FranzKuchling + S. Bulatao, M. Yue, R. Martinez Flores. Explanation here: thoughtforms.life/what-groups-of… Sample video by @DrPTMcMillen:

🚨 FUNDRAISER 🚨 Dear Friends of Project MEOW, It’s almost Giving Tuesday, the most important day of the year for cat rescues like ours. This year, we’re hoping to raise $10,000 to support our cats in rescue and those still on the street needing our help in West Philly. (1)

Good morning from the #WyssRetreat23! We’re so excited for the day ahead. @DonIngber just kicked it off with some welcoming remarks. Can’t wait to spend the day learning about impactful research.

It's that time of year!! Time to help @SkypeScientist by telling every teacher, librarian, troop leader, etc you know... Skype a Scientist's Fall 2023 enrollment is OPEN! Sign up here bit.ly/EnrollFall2023 We rely on word of mouth to grow, so this action is critical for us!

Owen resided in Winchester, MA and was a trailblazer in so many ways, as evidenced in this thread by Ryan. She gets overlooked when we talk about legends in women’s sports, but she deserves to be recognized.

New preprint, primary data - really excited about it: osf.io/ps987/ by PhD student Angela Tung, former undergraduate @AnanyaPavuluri, @mmsperry @DrPTMcMillen @WesleyPClawson @pai_vaibhav @FranzKuchling + S. Bulatao, M. Yue, R. Martinez Flores. I present to you, CEMA:

The protein-microengineering team outing at Blue Hills Reservation was a success earlier this month, with everyone reaching the top of the Great Blue Hill. #WyssLife

A Wyss team found that only a subset of statin drugs, which lower cholesterol, seem to mitigate COVID-19 in patients. This suggests that we still have a lot to learn about how commonly-prescribed drugs work. @PLOSCompBiol @mmsperry @DonIngber journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…

‼️📣👉There will be a Research Associate/Fellow vacancy in my group coming up soon, working on projects related to human electrophysiology, high-density EMG, #rehabilitation & #spinalcordinjury. Watch out this space! 👀👂@TraumaUoB @unibirmingham @UBSportExR @TheCHBH

Thanks @wyssinstitute & @LindzBro for covering our work! This project was a surprise -- I didn't expect to work on statins. It seems that they chose us! Many thanks to our collaborators @SirotaLab @tomiko22 @msirota84 and more for your expertise, hard work, and patience!

Congrats @BUFigureSkating @BU_Tweets!! ⛸️

🧵📢 We need to retain talented postdocs in academic science. I'm happy to say that @HHMINEWS has taken a big step forward this week. $70,000 That's the new starting minimum salary for all postdocs employed in HHMI labs hhmi.org/sites/default/… (1/4)
