Feels good to get this out into the world. Thanks to all that contributed to getting this paper finally published. And all those that gave advice, reviews, etc, none of this would have been possible without all of you.
At long last published! Skeletal muscle regeneration in 3 dimensions! Thanks to @bc_collins3 Jake Shapiro @MyaScheib @robvmusci @Mayank_Verma_ #myotwitter @Dev_Cell

Four states had ballot measures with constitutional amendments on abortion rights: Michigan, Kentucky, Vermont, and California.
And abortion rights won in all four elections.
The American people are on our side. And we’re going to keep up the fight.

Many of the same Republicans who just voted against protecting birth control and celebrated when Roe was overturned also oppose paid family leave and efforts to make childcare affordable. This is not about supporting families—it’s about dragging women back in time.
Today is a sad, but exciting day. Last day with this view. I am so thankful for everyone in @GabKardon lab for the past 5 years. In August I will be joining the team at BioFire Defense with the role of Senior Clinical Affairs Scientist.

If Sen. Manchin wants to vote against the Build Back Better Act, he should have the opportunity to do so with a floor vote as soon as the Senate returns.

Bernie Sanders on Manchin saying he's a no on BBB: "We've been dealing with Mr. Manchin for month after month after month. But if he doesn't have the courage to do the right thing for the working families of West Virginia and America, let him vote no in front of the whole world"
On November 7th my husband and I got upgraded to the roles of mom and dad. Welcome to the world George Winston Smith, 9.61 pounds and 21 inches long. We are so in love and happy to be home enjoying all the snuggles.

Monday November 8th, at 9AM PST, @musclescitalks will host Dr. Foteini Mourkioti from @penn for a talk on “Dynamics of skeletal muscle-resident stem cells during regeneration in muscle diseases”. Stay tuned!

Can someone explain to me why the richest country in the history of the world somehow “can’t afford” national paid family and medical leave but has no problem finding $768,000,000,000 to pour into our defense budget?

Our education system pushes young people into debt unless they come from a family with money. That is not how we build a future. We need to make community colleges, technical schools, & public universities tuition-free—and President Biden must use his power to #CancelStudentDebt.
