How did the latest targeted lung cancer drug, and the first FDA-approved treatment born of Broad science, come about? Come find out at the next talk in the Broad Discovery Series!

Broad Discovery Series The Broad Discovery Series brings researchers to the stage to discuss and answer questions about some of the most pressing topics in science and medicine today.

Genomic sequencing has gotten so fast, so inexpensive, and so rich in information, what if it could be part of our everyday medical care? Come hear what Niall Lennon thinks at the next Broad Discovery Series talk! #clinicalgenomics #precisionmedicine broadinstitute.swoogo.com/Discovery25

The new state flags are here! The state has released copies of the hundreds of replacement flags, seals and state mottoes that people submitted - with the finalists scheduled for a review by an august body of experts starting at 2...

It's #NationalInternDay! Here's to the great interns I've worked with over the last few years, like @norabradford.bsky.social, @alexviveros.bsky.social & @andreatamayo.bsky.social. Y'all rock.

I've always found @soumya-boston.bsky.social's research to be absolutely fascinating, and I'm excited to bring him on-stage for the next talk in the @broadinstitute.org's Broad Discovery Series. Join us in-person or online on 8/14!

Observation: I haven't seen too many Amazon/FedEx/UPS trucks out this Juneteenth, but of the ones I have seen, the drivers have all been Black. In the meantime, middle-aged White guy here has a day off from his desk job. Something seems off there.... 🤔

We're still taking applications for the @broadinstitute.org #scicomm internship! The deadline is *THIS FRIDAY* (2/28) at 11:59pm ET. Don't delay!

What a great event last night! A recording of our event with Lloyd Bod should be available soon. (HT to sneaky front row photographer @namratasengupta.bsky.social)

It's less than an hour to tonight's @broadinstitute.org Broad Discovery Series! Stream it live at broad.io/DiscoveryLive

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

Thank you, @floragraham.bsky.social, for absolutely making my day. 🤣

After a brief hiatus, the Broad Discovery Series returns on Feb. 11! Cancer immunologist Lloyd Bod will take us on a tour of the immune system and discuss new insights that may help scientists and doctors leverage its cancer-fighting capabilities more effectively. #cancer #immunology #immunotherapy

Treat yourself by watching this loop for a while.

The "snow" is actually dust particles... in front of a moving ocean of stars.

I hope you all enjoy! #scicomm #scicommsky

I often just move on from one thing to the next, but sometimes I have to remind myself to pause for a sec, say "Hey, that turned out well!", and celebrate the awesome colleagues work with.

And 2nd is a #dataviz I worked on with an amazing data designer, Mike Danziger. How has @broadinstitute.org's science evolved over the last 20 years? Mike & I used Broadies' scientific papers to see what stories we could tell. publications.broadinstitute.org (Best viewed on a lap- or desktop!)

First up: an animated explainer I helped produce w/ videography master Russ Murachver, design wizard Ricardo Job-Reese & voiceover breakout Claire Hendershot. Our team's built many of these; here we try to tackle spatial -omics tech & why it's awesome. www.broadinstitute.org/reading-and-...

With the end of 2024 rapidly approaching, I realized last night that 2 collaborative projects that I'd been part of for *months* both finally launched this week. I figured I'd share....

What are we calling the Bluesky equivalent to tweetorials? #sciencesky #scicomm #scicommsky

Let's everyone welcome @broadinstitute.bsky.social to Bluesky!

I’ve decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief. I’m going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching), but for now I’d like to share a very small sample of the work I’ve been so proud to support (thread)

I'm so...happy for you? shocked? sad? All of the above? I can't pick one. More than anything, I'm grateful for everything you've done and do for science journalism and our little scicomm community.

Just one?
