Grateful to share our most recent paper--just published in @CellReports. The study was led by @NDBios PhD student @Schofield_isle, who will be defending his dissertation later this week. Also want to highlight @NotreDame senior and @NDXCTF athlete @EmmaAlbano4 as a co-author!

Our latest paper with Joan @BruggeMe is now out @NatureGenetics! We explore hidden mechanisms of BRCA1 hereditary breast cancer using new mouse models, revealing unexpected tumor-like chromatin changes in Brca1-heterozygous normal mammary cells.

Microglia are considered long lived, but @cssmity &co show that individual embryonic #microglia die within 3 days after clearing neural debris and are cannibalized by existing microglia, paradoxically leading to additional microglial death #PLOSBiology plos.io/3Aj1JvE

Microglia can selectively clear neurons, but what else do they eat? @FChrisBennett & @nachoriko explore a #PLOSBiology study showing that #microglia also cannibalize other microglia, followed by microglial necroptosis Primer: plos.io/4f7sXEs Paper: plos.io/3Aj1JvE

#NASmember Joan Brugge has advanced #breastcancer research in two major ways: through her studies of the processes in breast cancer's initiation and progression, and her explorations of how cellular receptors regulate the intracellular cytoskeleton. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth

There is no such thing as a perfect leader.
In fact, if someone claims to be a perfect leader, they are probably not even a good leader, as they lack the self-awareness needed to seek out feedback and continue to grow and improve.

Thoughtful piece by @FrezzaLab here---recommended reading for all in science in any career and at any career stage! Thanks for sharing your wisdom Christian.

When I meet other scientists, we more often discuss how to cope with failure rather than to achieve success. So I wrote this piece. I'd love to hear your views.
