- Great take on the current state of affairs, and explanations of how seemingly esoteric areas of research can have far-reaching impact.
- Glad to see this coverage of an event that we had last week to showcase some of the research at UCLA that has been suspended. Shout out to Will Zeiger (@zeigerlab.bsky.social), @carriebearden.bsky.social, and @michaelchwe.bsky.social for pulling this together. www.latimes.com/california/s...
- This is an excellent, albeit harrowing, encapsulation of the negative impact that current policies are having on current and future research. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...
- This is a lovely article that showcases some of the outstanding work that my UCLA colleagues Tom Carmichael and Alcino Silva and their trainees have done over the past few years seeking to leverage intrinsic repair pathways. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/s...
