Day 2 of the Emory Brain Organoid Hub workshop was super exciting--participants aggregated iPSCs to form embryoid bodies, recorded MEA experiments, and stained their first neuroepithelial rosettes!!! Today we're immunopanning and blowing out the embryoid bodies.

Only halfway complete, facing a 71% cut in funding. Great piece on the value- and immediate need to fund- of @AllofUsResearch
