What does an ovary actually look like as it ages—one oocyte at a time?
We mapped >85,000 oocytes in >100 intact mouse ovaries, in 3D, across the reproductive lifespan. And the ovary turned out to be much more organized than we expected. 🧵 1/5 nature.com/articles/s4358…

Keeping oocytes alive for decades is a massive challenge, but so is earning a PhD with the highest honors! 👏

Massive (belated!) congratulations to our PhD student, Dr. Devesh Bahety (@devbahety) for defending his thesis and receiving an excellent cum laude! 🥳🏆

Exactly my thoughts re the "unbiased" QED 1% list- this analysis puts it on firm footing. One thing not captured here is the prominence of well-established authors; that's what triggered me whether QED was really ranking the science OR signals assoc'd w/ scientific prominence- EB

It was amazing to participate in #PeopleinRed fundraiser gala, as a guest of the mayor of Barcelona! A lovely reminder that science reaches far beyond the lab -- EB

I’ve been wondering about conference norms.
When I can’t attend an invited talk, I offer to send my postdoc who led the relevant work; but this is basically never accepted by organisers.
When I organize meetings, I’m more than happy for postdocs to step in.
