We are hiring a Postdoctoral Researcher! The Xiang Lab is recruiting a postdoc to study the molecular & cellular mechanisms of coral–algal symbiosis. NSF-funded project using Symbiodiniaceae mutants + Aiptasia to interrogate symbiosis and its response to environmental stress.

the plot thickens;: further to doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio… (primer: doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio…), below is another study with similar findings (nutrient cycling at the heart of coral-algal symbiosis), showing how coral larvae counter heat stress (and OA). congratulations!

Excited to share our single-cell study on aging mouse brain published in Nature today! We found an aging hotspot in specific hypothalamic cell types involved in energy homeostasis, which show both decreased neuronal function and increased immune responses. doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-0…
New brain aging study is out today in | @Nature The largest single-cell RNA seq dataset of mouse brain aging reveals incredible insights and could pave the way for future therapies to slow or manage the impacts of the aging process. 🧵 #studyBRAIN

“Science is a human activity.” The week before chemistry laureate David Baker visited Stockholm to receive his Nobel Prize, his 101st PhD student had just graduated from his lab. For Baker, doing great science is about collaboration – he puts great effort into fostering a diverse, vibrant and sociable community of scientists that he works with. One hundred and thirty of those students and researchers joined him in Stockholm – perhaps the ultimate lab celebration! More about Baker and the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry: bit.ly/4iz7B56
