Jonny gave a great primer on the history of pre-prints and debunked myths about them. I spoke on our experiences with preprints and was encouraged to see this feedback after the talks👇08 Oct 2025 09:22 +0000at://did:plc:llodweffd5e3wheyftspllb2/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2ocwbqsuk2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/niche-leigh.bsky.social/post/3lkvigidfws2cGreat write-up from Alexis! UniStem is an amazing initiative and given the current attacks on science it’s critical we work to educate and motivate the future generation to be pro-science.

Are the secrets to this regenerative capacity in their genome? In this collaborative work from the Leigh, Yun, and Simon labs we explored this question. https://www.cell.com/cell-genomics/fulltext/S2666-979X(25)00017-5 (1/x)13 Feb 2025 16:23 +0000at://did:plc:llodweffd5e3wheyftspllb2/app.bsky.feed.post/3li33wwysek2a
