- Reposted by Kendall LoughThis was a fun lesson in having your hypothesis proven wrong (we thought they would have worse outcomes after injury), and having that be even more exciting. We hope what we find may help inform tissue engineering and regenerative strategies, and lead to improved clinical interventions.
- Reposted by Kendall LoughFor #FluorescenceFriday I'm sharing the fantastic work of postdoc Sarah McLarnon! A follow up to our '23 Development paper where we asked: Does precise vascular patterning matter for function and what happens after ischemic injury? The results were surprising! journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10....

- Some absolutely gorgeous morphogenic work describing how distinct migratory behavior allows cells to ensheath and sculpt a mature organ. Beautiful videos and a highly tractable genetic system. Can't wait to see what Maik does in his future lab! #DevBio #CellBio #Microscopy
- FINALLY out in #Science Advances! 🎉 3 years of hard work, a fantastic team — and I’m proud to be first and co-corresponding author! It's about Plexin signaling driving collective cell migration & organ sculpting. Check out the videos 😀 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #DevBio #CellBio #Microscopy

- Reposted by Kendall LoughToday, my NIH colleagues and I did something scary but really important. We spoke up about egregious harms we are seeing happen to research participants and public health through thoughtless and politicized policies at NIH. 🧵1/3 apnews.com/article/nih-...

- Reposted by Kendall Lough"We are speaking on behalf of hundreds of NIH staff who are standing up together to say: WE DISSENT. I am so scared about doing this but I am trying to be brave for my kids because it's only gonna get harder to speak up." Thank you to Dr. Jenna Norton and NIH scientists for your courage!

- Reposted by Kendall LoughAlmost all Nobel Prizes are awarded for work that is exploratory, or absolutely basic science with no obvious commercial or medical benefit. You cannot predict where advancements come from, so you have to invest in science and scientists. Targeted (corporate) science investment will never do this.
- Reminder: Nobel-prize winning PCR (1983), used in basically all genetic tech today, was only possible because of extremophile bacterium discovered in 1964 in Yellowstone funded by a small ~$80k NSF grant with no obvious application at the time. #science 🧪 www.richmondscientific.com/how-a-discov...

- Reposted by Kendall LoughNEW: Important Context spoke with a dozen people working at NIH about Director Jay Bhattacharya. The descriptions were universally unflattering, painting the health economist as ineffectual, dishonest, ideological, arrogant, and uncommitted to science. www.importantcontext.news/p/out-of-his...
- Reposted by Kendall LoughIf a foreign government conspired to decimate US science and technology in a manner akin to what Project 2025 architects purport to do, we would go to war. Just because they are under a cloak of self declared patriotism does not mean that they are not effectively acting as enemies of the state.
