I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Pre-print alert 🚨: We have developed 2D and 3D stable iPSC endothelial-differentiation models through dox inducible ETS expression. We demonstrate endothelial identity and used these models for studying malaria pathogenesis research. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Going from methods dev to full on cancer bio has been tough. All the more excited to see this out at last—

NIH funding supporting the HMMER and Infernal software projects has been terminated. NIH states that our work, as well as all other federally funded research at Harvard, is of no benefit to the US.
Delighted that our work on positional memory is now published. We asked how axolotl cells 'know' which part of the limb to regenerate after injury.

A joy to work with super team Sarah Plattner, Yuka Sugiura, Francisco Falcon and Elly Tanaka.

EuroBioC2025 hex sticker design featuring the Sagrada Família in the centre, vibrant mosaic patterns inspired by Park Güell at the bottom, and other Barcelona landmarks like the crane and towers. The Bioconductor logo replaces the "i" in "BioC", and "bioconductor.org" is written across the top left. The overall shape is a yellow-bordered hexagon.
🎉 Announcing the EuroBioC2025 Sticker Winner!
🏆 Chaima Hkimi’s design features the Sagrada Família, Park Güell colours, and a nod to Bioconductor in the text. Pick up the sticker at #EuroBioC2025!

Given the recent and ongoing service interruptions in PubMed, National Library of Medicine, NIH Reporter, etc., I put together a status page that covers a few key resources and some NIH institute pages.

Let me know what other sites you'd like to see added.
HT to Sean Davis for creating a status page for NIH websites: stats.uptimerobot.com/Zrqh8AhvKn - simultaneous worth sharing and sad.
