Biggest medical discoveries of the week (🧵) 1/8 In a world first, induced pluripotent stem cells restored vision in 3 patients with limbal stem-cell deficiency (LSCD) LSCD is loss of the stem cells that replenish the cornea, and can be caused by trauma, autoimmunity or…
Thank you Vice President @KamalaHarris for putting your faith in me, and selecting me as your running mate. Campaigning at your side was the honor and privilege of my life.
Demoralized doesn’t even cover it. But as it sinks in that we’re going back, it strengthens my resolve to be proactive, lift up my communities, be grounded in my beliefs and most importantly, it makes me proud to be all the things they hate.

Scientist 1: we shall call these cells “basophils” Scientist 2: we shall call these cells “eosinophils“ Scientist 3 [disheveled, trembling]: NATURAL KILLERS
Did you ever wonder why our marrow is located inside of our *bones*, #MedTwitter? There’s no a priori anatomical reason it should be sited there. Blood cells could form in our spleens & livers, as they do during our fetal lives; or elsewhere, as in some animals. Let’s discuss! /1
I realized today that ice packs in our lab’s -20 are the equivalent of plastic bags in my kitchen… “what if I need them someday?!” 😭
