Thrilled to share our new study in @Nature! 🎉 We uncover Lsp2 as a nutrient-responsive link between mTORC1, translation and lifespan in Drosophila. Huge thanks to our wonderful collaborators Zongzhao Zhai and Jiongming Lu, and to everyone! (1/3)

Very excitingly, our paper appears back-to-back with an independent study from Fumiaki Obata’s group @Fumiaki1984 , which uncovers a complementary role for Lsp2 in linking early-life nutrition to adult translation and lifespan. (2/3)

Two independent studies, one unexpected protein, and a shared connection between nutrition, translation and ageing. We’re also delighted to see both studies highlighted in a wonderful News & Views by Linda Partridge. (3/3)

Delighted that our "isoform kebab" artwork is on the cover of the 500th issue of @TrendsGenetics! Plates, skewers, and food cubes represent cells, transcript isoforms, and exons, a playful metaphor for isoform-resolved single-cell transcriptomics. cell.com/trends/genetics/ful…

🥳🥳Lab retreat in Zhangjiajie! 🏔️🌿 We traded pipettes for hiking trails, data plots for mountain views. A perfect trip to recharge, reconnect, and make unforgettable memories together!🧬✨ #LabRetreat #Zhangjiajie #TeamBuilding #ScienceAndFun

Huge congratulations to PKU alumni Wang Hong and Deng Yu, recipients of the 2026 Fields Medal — mathematics’ highest honor! 🧮 Announced at the 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Philadelphia, the pair are among four mathematicians worldwide to claim this prestigious prize, awarded every four years to outstanding scholars under 40. The awards are historic on several levels. —First time two mathematicians who completed undergraduate studies in mainland China win the Fields Medal in the same year. —Both joined Peking University as undergraduates in 2007. —Wang Hong becomes only the third female Fields Medalist ever, the first Chinese woman, and the first recipient with a bachelor’s degree from a mainland Chinese university. We are immensely proud of their extraordinary breakthroughs and lasting contributions to global mathematics.

New preprint released 🪇 Which tRNAs are used by ribosomes during translation? We introduce tRIBO-seq, a nanopore method to sequence ribosome-associated tRNAs and track how the active tRNA pool changes across stress conditions. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… A thread 🧵

Science doesn’t need to go according to plan; it just needs to lead to a discovery. If doesn’t have to be done alone or together with a buddy; there just needs to be a discovery. It doesn’t need to happen fast or slow; just as long as there’s a discovery, then everybody is happy.
