Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman, Penn’s historic mRNA vaccine research team, win 2023 Nobel Prize...

The highest honor was bestowed for foundational discoveries that gave the world a vaccine to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Penn’s wording and claim to credit is misleading. Karikó was demoted by Penn in 1995. She left Penn for BioNTech in 2013 after Penn refused to reinstate her to tenure track following the publications that would lead to the Nobel Prize, deeming her “not of faculty quality”. wired.co.uk/article/mrna-c…

Aimee Payne of @PennMedicine says that dermatology research is more than skin deep. “The study of dermatology can offer insights into cellular mechanisms and disease treatments for many other parts of the body,” she says. bit.ly/3DmmC78

The SID has learned of the passing of long-time member Tung-Tien "Henry" Sun, PhD. Dr. Sun was the 1989 William Montagna Lecturer and also served as Co-Chair of the SID's Comm. on Sci. Prog's. Below is tribute from Dr. Seth Orlow. Our thoughts to family and friends of Dr. Sun.

What can we learn from institutional psychology about running a lab? For ~10 years now, I have meet twice a month w colleagues and an institutional psychologist. I still have a ton to learn, but share in this article unexpected lessons and concepts 🧵 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

New Article online now at Dev Cell: UV-induced reduction in Polycomb repression promotes epidermal pigmentation - zpr.io/QB6sitdBbBA9

UV-induced reduction in Polycomb repression promotes epidermal pigmentation

Li et al. demonstrate that low-dose UVB exposure leads to a drastic reduction in Polycomb levels in the epidermis. Furthermore, ablation of Polycomb function in the epidermis results in epidermal...
