📢'The World Is Your Oyster' is for those who are born in global north countries--don't experience visa bureaucracy & emotional burden that non-white global south scholars do. Citizenship is a privilege that we need to recognize in the academe. 1/n nature.com/articles/d4158…


Amazing!! Arpit’s work is wonderful and fundamental in aging! Read his preprint on biorxiv!
Many thanks to @arpit_science, a Postdoctoral Fellow @HarvardChanSPH, for presenting at a Special Invited Seminar today on, “Peroxisome Function Regulates Metabolic Flexibility and Healthy Aging.” @Harvard #Aging
YAYAY!!
An initial rendition of my postdoctoral work in the Mair lab is out on biorxiv now. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
I got to collaborate with amazing @JACoates on this timely piece—asking open science community to act lead by example as science suffers.
Our alumni, @mayank_mchugh , has contributed towards an insightful article on the current volatile landscape in STEM. With shifting funding priorities and other growing concerns, the field is facing unprecedented challenges. upstream.force11.org/open-science-c…
If you attended our ALBA-IBRO social at #SfN2024, you heard @mayank_mchugh discuss the systemic challenges postdocs face - from job insecurity to visa hurdles. He now joins the broader conversation in this article, which dives deep into the #neuroscience #postdoc crisis and…
Postdoctoral researchers sponsored by the National Institutes of Health now toil longer than ever before, for less money, fueling a decline in neuroscience postdocs. By @katiemoisse thetransmitter.org/academia/stati…
Amen Amen Amen. Read this postdoc story by @katiemoisse for @_TheTransmitter @network_alba
I hope this story resonates with young researchers. Grateful to my endlessly generous sources: @neubadah, @kss_phd, @mayank_mchugh, @SuthanaLab, @AndrewWLo, @DrMarjorieRose, @UPenn_SongMing, Letitia Weigand, Martin Reese, Jakob Voigts, Gerry Rubin and several NIH folks.
Check out this amazing work by my friend & colleague @sandynandagopal @harvardmed how combinatorial signal processing by bHLH transcription factors modulate cell fates!! 🤯 Read his tweetorial & paper for more info.
How does one (signaling) arm know what the other is doing in the cell? Through a network of bHLH transcription factors obviously! Our work showing how neural stem cells integrate signals to coordinate a fate response is now out: cell.com/cell-reports/f…
We are nothing but proud to see our former chair @mayank_mchugh do what he does best—advocating for equity and postdocs!! Read the article below @HarvardCatalyst

Excited to have our @wm_biology Friday Seminar speaker @NkrumahGrant Looking forward to stories of molecular evolution & microbiology in bacteria.

Anas Bedraoui is a PhD student in Morocco, home to the world’s oldest university, Al-Qarawiyyin. But this rich academic history can count for little against the obstacles faced by researchers in the global south. Anas talks about the signs of progress. elifesciences.org/articles/10407…
✨So this happened today! 2024 Equity, Social Justice & Advocacy Award by Harvard Med School @harvardmed I’m beyond grateful to SOO many people who believed in me & saw the value in work I do. Thank you from the bottom of my heart🙏🏽 It won’t have happened w/o @harvardmpa1
