Thank you @robert_ife and @GMillanZambrano for
for the opportunity to present my PhD work at this wonderful workshop at @UNIAuniversidad. I had numerous in-depth discussions on science and career, and left with new connections and lots to think about! Until the next one!
Today kick off: "From DNA to Phenotype" workshop #epigenetics in beautiful Baeza 🇪🇸 Looking forward to 3 days of to excellent science and stimulating discussions. Thanks to all the speakers for accepting the invite !

Congratulations to our fellows for taking the initiative and thank you to @humantechnopole for organising a visit filled with interesting insights!
We are confident that the exchange and connection will be a source of inspiration for their research and careers.
On 24 September, predoc and postdoc fellows from @EMBLRome visited @humantechnopole to share our science and learn about their amazing institute! It was a lovely experience co-organising this event with @JasAlMousawi and the predoc/postdoc representatives 🙌 😇

How long does it take for my gut microbiota 💩🦠 to recover after antibiotics 💊?
Our preprint on antibiotic use and gut microbiota in >15,000 people 👩👱 is now LIVE!

I was impressed by the capacity of this bottom-up organized event to forge new scientific interactions😌 and would like to credit our Human Technopole colleagues for being such excellent hosts! I look forward to future events between our fellows’ communities 💪🔥🧠

Our stand at #EuropeanResearcherNight #ERN24 was attended by people of all ages. It was an inspiring experience. Particularly proud of the game representing Waddington's landscape we created. #Epigenetics for all!
EMBL Rome volunteers participated in the European Researchers’ Night organised by the CNR in Montelibretti, attended by over 1,500 visitors!
They prepared activities and games reflecting the variety of research projects conducted at the site & across EMBL

“In this work, we utilise the common application of formaldehyde fixation in both modern chromatin biology and museum science to generate historical chromatin profiles, thus, unlocking a century’s worth of gene regulation data.” 🥰

Beautifully elegant application of molecular biology to ask dreamy scientific questions 🤩
By linking chromatin biology and museum science, @HolleleyClare has built the first Epigenetic Time Machine.
They reveal how century-old formalin-fixed biological collections preserve the signal of environmental impact on gene expression. Read about it: nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Biology is cool! 😎
Inverse blebs in mouse blastocyst now peer-reviewed @NatureCellBio with @MSchliffka and @argo_mu!

Yet another 💣 from @munafomarzia, this time illustrating a cool study on cancer cell state transitions! Truly evokes my nostalgia of skipping stones as a kid, and the fact that summer is coming to an end makes this apt metaphor all the more timely - beautiful work 🤩👏
Skipping through a resistance continuum
How do cancer cells adapt to drug treatments?💊 @Nature, @ItaiYanai @Gustavo_SFranca &al show that cancer cells transition through a trajectory of epigenetically diverse states, progressively increasing fitness & drug resistance

People wonder why #academia gets a bad name, when good work doesn’t even get the chance to be recognised 😢
Keep up the good fight @SaraSciFormi 💪 We need to reclaim science for the scientists.
Woo my LOI got selected for full application of #humanfrontierscienceprogram #postocfellowship (#HSFP ) Ah no wait, I cannot apply because my two papers under review since January are still not ACCEPTED FOR PUBLICATION. Is this OK? 1/7

This would have been such a dream project to work on 😌 Look forward to diving deep into a few of these papers during my upcoming vacation 🫡
We are humbled to have our lab's work featured this week on the cover of @Nature (below), with many, many people to thank.
First, the stellar crew of @inspiration4x, @rookisaacman, @ArceneauxHayley, @ChrisSembroski, @DrSianProctor, who donated time, blood, fluids, and sweat for the mission. These data were the foundation of the Space Omics and Medical Atlas (SOMA), expanding upon the findings from @StationCDRKelly & @CaptMarkKelly in the NASA Twins Study and enabling an unprecedented look the human body (and its microbes) in space.
Second, thanks to many science teams , especially co-leaders for the SOMA effort @AfshinBeheshti, @EliahOverbey, @cemmeydan, Chris Jones, @mathiasbasner, @KeithSiew, Stephen Walsh, @joseph_borg_ , & Susan Bailey, the I4 mission science leads Frederic Zenhausern, Mark Shelhamer, Eric Bershad, @aesargsyan, @7irz, @DoritPhD, @EUrquietaMD, Ashot Sargsyan, Doug Ebert, Mathias Basner, and leadership from @IwijnDeVlaminck, @Astro_Kate7, @trialx, @LabMelnick, @nebula_rd, @FathiKarouia, @giacomello_lab, Scott Smith, Sara Zwart, @SpaceLuisZea, and many more.
Third, the amazing med-ops and mission teams at @spaceX and @NASA, especially @jmat_, @astro_anil (now at NASA), Sean Mullane, Seth Stravers Tigchelaar, Steven Levitte, & Marissa Rosenberg, plus all the support teams in the planning and logistics stages before, during, and after the missions.
Fourth, the labs at @WeillCornell who worked for several years on the papers and data portals, especially @EliahOverbey, @KJangkeun @BradenTierney @krista_ryon @JIWOONPARK_ @mjdmackay @asierra93, @ChrisRChin, & Dan Butler, Sebastian Garcia Medina, Namita Damle, Deena Najjar, Kirill Grigorev, Karolina Sienkiewicz, Laura Patras, Remi Klotz, Veronica Ortiz, Annalise Schweickart, Theodore M. Nelson, Gabriel Deards, Jonathan Foox, Craig Westover, Chandrima Bhattacharya, Serena Lucotti, Jacqueline Proszynski, Marissa Burke, Ashley S. Kleinman, Daniel J. Butler, Conor Loy, Omary Mzava, and Jeremy Hirschberg, which also led the creation of the Cornell Aerospace Medicine Biobank (CAMBank).
Fifth, the superb @NASAGeneLab teams, @CostesSylvain, @RyanTScott, Sam Gebre, Egle Cekanaviciute, Lauren Sanders, and others for enabling controlled and long-term data access, ensuring these data as a resource for the field for the decades of spaceflight ahead.
Finally, thanks to the vision of @elonmusk and Jared Issacman to enable such ambitious studies, including the upcoming @PolarisProgram missions with Jared, @KiddPoteet, @annawmenon, @Gillis_SarahE. Also, we have the upcoming @framonauts mission led by @satofishi which will greatly expand upon this work and launch humanity into The Second Space Age.
