With a mix of pride, enthusiasm, and tremendous relief, I present our latest paper that describes the emergence of atypical epithelial cells in the thymus with age that limit the tissues function at steady-state and its repair after damage… 1/? nature.com/articles/s41590-0…

This is one of the coolest data vis graphics I’ve ever seen.
It's 4:00 AM. While LinkedIn warriors post about their "morning hustle," real data tells a different story. One thousand dots. One thousand real Americans. Not influencers. Not motivational speakers. Just actual people, captured in the American Time Use Survey by the US Bureau of Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Stem cell transplants are amazing. A patient's diseased blood is replaced by a relative or stranger's. But what does putting a blood system into a new body do to the cells? How many survive? Does it matter? Out in @Nature today, we asked some basic Qs 👇 rdcu.be/dYCoZ

Growing up in Australia I’ve always been uncommonly interested in US politics (even majored in it in undergrad) so it was an auspicious day to vote for the first time as an immigrant scientist in this country.

What a great opportunity! Eliisa is an amazing physician-scientist working on some very cool projects (and could quite possibly be even more of a thymus enthusiast as I am!).
I am recruiting! Are you looking #postdoc position and are interested in #thymus ? I’m hiring two postdocs to work in our @ERC_Research funded new project ProtecTHY where we want to learn how the thymus protects itself during HSCT. Shares appreciated! jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsink…
