On International Women’s Day, we celebrate the incredible contributions of our women faculty. Their discoveries push the boundaries of knowledge, driving innovation and inspiring the next generation of scientists. @dgsomucla @UCLA
Gruden knows his @UCLA history! Glad you enjoyed your package, @BarstoolGruden! 📦
All the way from Westwood... it's the UCLA Bruins! The Bruins have some of my favorite alums in not only football, but also basketball and even acting!! Thank you so much Coach Foster and @UCLAFootball for this great package, good luck this upcoming season!!
Amazing and intriguing study! Congratulations 👏👏
Thrilled to share our latest work in @Nature studying inter-brain neural dynamics in both biological and artificial intelligence systems — amazing work by @xzh_brain, Nguyen Phi, and fantastic collaboration with @JonathanCKao! Read the full article here: rdcu.be/euu5Z
A new study led by @VashKurdistani has uncovered a surprising survival strategy in cells that may help explain how MYC-driven cancers survive and grow despite limited resources. Learn more about the findings: bit.ly/4ehBVzB
So excited to share this paper led by @ShivaniBaisi_MD! Check out iHOTT!!
🧵Excited to share our new preprint introducing iHOTT - an autologous tumor-immune co-culture model that captures patient-specific responses in #Glioblastoma 💥Now on @biorxivpreprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 📝From @BhaduriLab in collaboration with @UCLANsgy
Establishing gold standards for MicroED.
Since #MicroED demonstrated the first successful structure determination from 3D crystals using electron diffraction there are now sufficient numbers of structures in PDB and CSD to warrant a survey and the establishment of GOLD STANDARDS for MicroED. doi.org/10.1107/S20532…
Today we celebrated the Class of 2025 graduate students! Best wishes on your next adventure. We can’t wait to see all you accomplish. #ClassOf2025 #FutureLeaders
The Wood's Cranesbill is blooming in the Garden! These beautiful violet flowers with a white center bloom a short time so come and see them before they are gone 🌸🌸
Very interesting study. Congratulations! 👏👏🍾

Congratulations on this very interesting study! 👏👏
It’s out! The first paper from my postdoc – and first from the @BhaduriLab – is now live @NatureNeuroscience. 🧠✨ (1/5)
Congratulations to UCLA's latest National Academy of Sciences members. Heather Maynard, Sorin Popa, Marilyn Raphael and Edward Leamer were selected for their achievements in original research. newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/4-fac…
Congratulations on this honor! 👏🎉🍾
Congratulations to Prof. @HeatherDMaynard on her election to the National Academy of Sciences—one of the highest honors in American science! @group_maynard chemistry.ucla.edu/news/heather-m…
Spring Taco Truck celebrations are in full swing! Wishing everyone a great Spring Quarter and an even better summer ahead!
Congratulations to the team and collaborators 👏👏👏
Ever wondered what the lonely histone H3C110 does? We found that it’s lost in many fungi. Adding it back boosts histone H3 copper reductase activity, rescues iron defects and modulates lifespan, suggesting an evolutionary tradeoff between these effects. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
