Super excited to share our new work in @cell_res! How do embryonic stem cells (ESCs) stay immortal? Read the full story here: rdcu.be/e12cy or the preprint version: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… 1/n

It turns out mammalian cells leverage asymmetric division to rejuvenate their lineage, just like yeast. This may be the tip of the iceberg for other stem and cancer cells! It surely brings us more questions than answers. 7/n

This is a wild science and history thread:

Ok here we go. Look at the electoral maps by county for the last few decades of US presidential elections.  You’ll notice that the South goes almost uniformly Republican red every time. Duh. But if you look closer, there’s something else there ...

Today we mourn the loss of Professor Angelika Amon. She was a remarkable person, an incredible and creative scientist, a lively and spirited colleague, and devoted mentor. Her impact and legacy live on, and will be perpetuated through everyone she touched.

Devastated... she was one of the most inspiring scientists I've met.
We are very sad that @AngelikaAmon, first generation PhD student at the IMP, former IMP board member, and lifelong friend of the house, has lost her battle against cancer. Her contributions to science form a lasting legacy we are grateful for. Our thoughts are with her family.
