- Day 2 @asscr.bsky.social #ASSCR2025 opens with my favourite cell type (thanks Ed Stanley!) -iPSC derived macrophages. Ed is creating the cell types needed for a type1 diabetes model
- Shalin Naik @shalinhnaik.bsky.social starting with a quick ad for their recently published LoxCode mouse, before discussion of clonal hematopoiesis - introducing the concept of lineage-primed HSC. #ASSCR #CloneOfDestiny

- Can't get more Australian than a talk on marsupial pluripotent stem cells from Gerard Tarulli from the TIGGR labs @asscr.bsky.social #ASSCR2025 - describing iPSC from the fat tailed Dunnart. tigrrlab.science.unimelb.edu.au
- Josh Brickman @josh-brickman.bsky.social opens ASSCR with a provocative talk on transcription factor residency in early development.
- The annual scientific meeting of Australian and NZ StemCell scientists is kicking off this week @asscr.bsky.social #ASSCR2025
- We are celebrating 5 years of the Australia stem cell conversation! Hosted by @unimelb.bsky.social and @asscr.bsky.social the stem cell conversation is a weekly 30min virtual seminar series organised by EMCR for EMCR. Join the first 'transitions' episode Leadership through Service: 11am AEST Wed.
- New from the lab - How FAIR is metadata for human pluripotent stem cells? Registered cell lines are more likely to be cited, shared and reused across different studies - but most lines are difficult to find or lack key information. Stem Cell Reports www.cell.com/stem-cell-re...
- Day 2 #HCA2025GM day two demonstrates the power of global representation in genome and cell maps. @patriciasevero.bsky.social

- The human cell atlas #HCA2025GM really showcases descriptive science at scale - an atlas of human cells that engages globally. It's an exciting grass roots project. Equity and capability building are a core principle - as are coordinated networks focused on tissue specific atlases.
- The room is buzzing in Singapore #HCA2025GM
- Very happy to be in Singapore for #HCA2025GM
