Happy to share my 2nd iPSC paper from my PhD studies with @WadeMartinsLab at We showed that depleting tau in human iPSC-derived neurons is protective against Abeta. It was a collaborative effort, extremely thankful to the team. #research #Alzheimer

Unsolicited advice for ECRs like me - science is not meant to be easy! Always rmb these two juxtaposed lines: "it's just a job" & "it's more than a job" at different times to find a mental balance. You can always find another job, but also what you're doing is amazing! #research

Been away from the UK for almost two years now and honestly missing the political theatrics a little bit 😳 whatever political position you take you've got to give it to Sunak to seize the perfect opportunity to hammer down the Budget!

This is a really useful list to put into perspective how serious the issue is, though unfortunately for a negative side of the research field.. Would anyone be surprised at this point if there are more? From the US and anywhere else? 🫠
List of high-level Alzheimer's researchers accused of credible fraud:🧵 #1 - Marc Tessier-Lavigne Genentech pointed out problems in his 2009 Nature paper in 2012. After an expose by @tab_delete, he had to resign from Stanford Presidency, but can still run lab and do research.

This tweet marks a turning point of my life: today a flying cockroach flew on my face as I was driving at night (picture darkness and space constraint). I had no prior knowledge of its presence in the vehicle. Chaos ensued. I survived. I will need some time to recover from this.

RT @nlconnor_robson: 📢 Come join the lab! You will be investigating the role of endocytic dysfunction in novel patient derived iPSC lines…

@aa_widjaja Thanks Anissa! I've since returned to Singapore for almost a year now. Hope to catch up with you somewhere in SG next time!

I've also published a concise and accessible version about the paper on Springer Nature's "Behind the Paper" blog here Essentially the TL;DR version 😂 #research #Alzheimer #phdchat

@KarabovaMaria @andcyang @GladstoneInst Congrats Maria! I've never been to Gladstone but must be a great place to do science😊

In bio-research fields we often see established scientists who were originally trained as physicists, in computation or math but I have not heard of the opposite cases.. are there any bio-scientists who succeeded in other disciplines? Does that mean my #research is "easy" ?! 😭

Recently I've been re-submitting a grant proposal, and the said proposal needs to be the same novel idea that cannot be same-new but new-different; maintaining the novelty but not the same-novel because then it'd be not-novel relative to the 1st submission. Fun. #research

#ThoughtForTheDay sometimes I chuckle to myself when I walk into supposedly sterile lab environments as a giant blob of microbes myself thinking I am capable of keeping the lab/cells/reagents germ-free 😅 #research #microbiome
