Mexico is incredible at this time of year

Thank you Imperial College London and Caroline Brogan 🌻 for highlighting our recent work in Science Magazine on how bioelectric signaling controls cardiac valve position and cell fate in response to mechanical forces!! 🐟❤️Bioengineering #Zebrafish #DevBio imperial.ac.uk/news/231714/bi…

What is #Science but a yearning for the unknown. A love for curiosity. Today we celebrate #ScienceDay because of that very desire, which keeps us going through every failed experiment on the quest to learn the secrets of life itself. 🧫 What if…?

Glad to see our review paper out! In Miguel Torres lab at CNIC we study the earliest steps of heart development. mdpi.com/1422950 #mdpijcdd via JCDD MDPI

It's #ValentinesDay, and we're asking... how do you fix a broken heart? 💔 Maybe with cell therapy? University of Washington (UW Bioengineering) scientists found deoxyATP producing human iPSC-derived #cardiomyocyte could restore cardiac function in heart failure. bit.ly/3sBTL93

I want to start highlighting some of the amazing innovations in biotech outside of healthcare. Here are some awesome companies working at the intersection of two of my passions: biotech and fashion 🧵

Congrats to Hyeonyu Kim Stanford CVI and Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic and Roger Kaimm Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for publishing a state-of-the-art review on human #cardiac #organoids for clinical applications Cell Stem Cell. cell.com/cell-stem-cell… Organoid News Stem Cell Podcast Muscle Cell News Stanford Department of Medicine

Regardless of what happens to you, you can always choose: - how you spend your time - what you pay attention to - where you direct your energy - who you choose to associate with

It shouldn't take a pandemic to convince people to put their mental health above their careers. In the long run, the choice between success and well-being is a false dichotomy. The best way to achieve your goals is to lead a life that invigorates you—not one that drains you.

So happy to be part of this amazing work 🤩

#ReasonsToBeSDB Did you know that SDB keeps track of Graduate Training Programs in #devbio? sdbonline.org/graduate_progr… If you know of a program and want it included, let us know!

Impostor syndrome: “I don't know what I'm doing. It's only a matter of time until everyone finds out." Growth mindset: "I don't know what I'm doing yet. It's only a matter of time until I figure it out." The highest form of self-confidence is believing in your ability to learn.

Impostor syndrome isn't a disease. It's a normal response to internalizing impossibly high standards. Doubting yourself doesn't mean you're going to fail. It usually means you're facing a new challenge and you're going to learn. Feeling uncertainty is a precursor to growth.

Whether you are asking for: -advice for a research experiment -mentoring for a big career decision -support in a difficult situation ...or any other number of things, asking for help is a sign of strength and wisdom, not weakness or inability.

Our multi-chamber cardioid paper is finally out! Big thanks to the whole team & collaborators, #IMBA for their continuous support, and the reviewers & editors for facilitating further improvements. Thank you!
