One of the best talks I’ve ever seen. Fascinating insights into aging & undoubtedly so many more ahead. Congrats, @Thomas_Rando! #ISSCR2023
Congratulations to our friend @Thomas_Rando, Director of @UCLAstemcell, on receiving the @ISSCR Achievement Award at #ISSCR2023! An enthralling lecture on decades of work to unravel the role of stem cell quiescence in resilience and regeneration 👏

What if science really was a meritocracy? (to quote my co-panelist @DrShrutiNaik) Excited to moderate this #ISSCR2023 discussion starting shortly with the great @valentatormenta, @TakebeLab & Evan Graham!!

I am beyond excited & honored to be moderating this @nyscf webinar with the outstanding Maike Sander (@msanderlab) to mark #WomensHistoryMonth. She is a thoroughly inspiring DEI advocate who I wish I had known earlier in my career. I hope you can join us!
On #IWD2023, we celebrate trailblazing women like our founding CEO Susan Solomon, as we also recognize the barriers that still make it challenging for #WomenInScience to succeed. Next Friday, join our fireside chat on how far we’ve come and the road ahead:

What a legacy she has left us. This obituary was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to write, but it was a catharsis and honor to write it with the amazing @fossati_v @valentatormenta @ArlottaLab. Thank you @ISSCR for the opportunity. Rest in peace, Susan.

Honored to be invited and excited to give this talk about our #DEI work @nyscf — it takes several villages to make meaningful change, and it’s always a learning experience to discuss these topics with new audiences!
We’re really looking forward to hosting @raekaaiyar from the New York Stem Cell Foundation at our institute next week! She will be talking about #stemcell research @nyscf and their broad efforts to improve #diversity, #equity and #inclusion!

I am heartbroken today. Susan led us with a warmth, passion, & humor I had never thought possible. For she showed us how to make the impossible possible. She was a force of nature who pushed us to be&do better. I will forever be inspired by the time I was lucky to share with her.
With a very heavy heart, we announce the passing of our CEO and co-founder, Susan Solomon, following a long battle with ovarian cancer. We owe all that NYSCF has accomplished to Susan, and no words can express our gratitude and awe for her catalytic impact on stem cell research.
