So many thanks to The Marcus Foundation for believing in my research program, and giving my lab the opportunity to develop our stem cell protocols towards restoring somatosensation. Thanks also to @UCLAstemcell for all their support with this gift. newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/u…

New paper alert from the Butler lab! We have used pseudotime analyses of scRNA-Seq in vivo and in vitro datasets to examine the lineage trajectories in the developing dorsal spinal cord to identify novel regulators of dorsal neural fates. 🧵journals.biologists.com/dev/…

My heart in seeing all the devastation on Maui 💔. I was very young, but I remember visiting beautiful Lahaina as a child, passing through to visit other family on the island. Lahaina has given so much of itself to the world, please give back if you can. 🌺🌴❤️

Thank you Steve! Our successes have been a reflection of your successes.

The ultimate bittersweet celebration - Steve Peckman’s retirement party from @UCLAstemcell. As Steve likes to quote: “What is now proved was once only imagined.” Steve enabled us all (the stem cell scientists @UCLA) to bring that process to fruition. Thank you.
