Extremely excited to share my DPhil research on naked mole rats (a tiny rodent that lives for 30+ years and does not get much cancer) which has been published in @NatureComms If you are interested in stem cell biology and longevity, here is a tweetorial for you! (1/14)
In a surprising paper published in Nature, scientists accomplished what sounds impossible: using genes from a single-celled organism to create mouse stem cells, which eventually developed into a living, breathing mouse.

The Tomlinson Laboratory, situated within Oxford Oncology, is seeking a highly motivated DPhil student to join an exciting cancer genetics research project. Candidates interested in this opportunity are kindly requested to refer to the link. oncology.ox.ac.uk/study-with-us/…
My brilliant med student asked me to explain correlation, causation, confounding &collider bias. I used the following ex… so sharing here in case anyone finds it helpful! PS -I have learned much from @dnunan79 @Catalogofbias - a great resource for EBM. hopefully he approves😅

Understanding the difference between Standard Deviation (SD) and Standard Error (SE) is crucial for accurate data interpretation. SD measures the variability within your data, indicating how spread out the individual data points are from the mean. In contrast, SE measures the…
I asked ChatGPT to create a picture showing my life in a nutshell based on my previous conversations. And this one is pretty good!

Congrats to my friend and colleague Guosong Hong for his stunning and original discovery, published today in Science, on clearing tissues *in living animals* with a common food dye! The dye is tartrazine, used in Doritos! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Genomic landscape of colorectal cancer is now published. Congratulations to my lab mates for achieving this mammoth task! nature.com/articles/s4158…
When is the time to sit down and think? 🤔
The value of ‘wasting time’ on deep thinking is often overlooked in a scientific ecosystem increasingly tainted by Wall Street’s productivity mindset. nature.com/articles/d4158…
Big Nature paper this week on improved lifespan (in mice!) using an antibody to block IL11 Old mice without IL11 even look healthier 🧵
Woooooooo-ly
It’s finally out! 🥳 Today @cellcellpress we report non-mineral fossils of ancient chromosomes in skin from a woolly mammoth that died in Siberia, 52,000 years ago. 🦣💨 Don’t miss our thread below! 🧵👇🏽
Lofty!
Why do some individuals live longer than others? I am excited to share my group’s work, out now @cellcellpress in which we study the mechanisms generating “bad luck” in aging and figure out how to manipulate them in nematodes. cell.com/cell/fulltext/… 1/15

Our #OpenST paper is now online @CellCellPress! authors.elsevier.com/c/1jJckL7PXqR3U Very cool updates ahead🧵⬇️ @L_Marie_Schott @_Elena_93 #GiuseppeMacino @nu_karaiskos @N_Rajewsky
Are you a genome-nerd? Here is a thread for you.
The human chromosomes are numbered incorrectly (The fourth in an irregular series of threads about #Bioinformatics.) As most people know, 22 of our chromosomes are numbered from longest to shortest, plus we have X and Y... 1/6
