Great write-up from Alexis! UniStem is an amazing initiative and given the current attacks on science it’s critical we work to educate and motivate the future generation to be pro-science.

The newt Pleurodeles waltl has amazing biological features, like the ability to regenerate tail and limbs! Are the secrets to this regenerative capacity in their genome? In this collaborative work from the Leigh, Yun, and Simon labs we explored this question. www.cell.com/cell-genomic... (1/x)

Today I went with alumni of the Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine Research School to a nearby English school to share science to 12-13 year olds. The energy and excitement from the both sets of students was amazing!! Hoping we see some of these bright minds in the lab soon!

Happy to be over here...now time to reconnect with all the people who have made the migration over from Twitter. I'll share my thoughts on regeneration, immunology, and using high throughput sequencing in all types of animals!
