📢 📢Delighted to announce our latest pre-print co-led by our fantastic and talented postdocs @IreneFaravelli and @BolanosAnton 👩🏻‍🔬👩🏼‍🔬💪! Human cortical organoids record developmental time for 5 years in vitro. 🧫🧠⏳. A huge collaborative effort, big thanks to all co-authors! 🧵👇

Big congratulations to Paola for winning this year's ISSCR Momentum Award!!! isscr.org/isscr-news/pao…

Kudos to @LodatoS_Lab that took the stage today at #FENSForum2024 at the #EJN special lecture to speak about spontaneous activity and the development of the cerebral cortex. 👩🏼‍🔬🧠🔬#alumni #neuroscience #womanInStem

🌟Huge congratulations to @BolanosAnton and @Irene_Faravelli for their prestigious recognition by @broadinstitute! Their exceptional work has earned them an award for outstanding contributions to science, embodying the mission and values of the Broad. We're beyond proud! 👏👏

Pass by and check our posters at @nyscf 2023. @BolanosAnton @Irene_Faravelli #80 and Michael J. Borrett #81. We are very excited to present our work on the potencial of long-term cortical organoids and a CRISPR screening to better understand autism.

Very proud of @Irene_Faravelli rockin’ it at @nyscf 2023 conference! Brava! 👏🏼👏🏼

Friday was incredible! Our very own @Irene_Faravelli shared insights at an inauguration symposium, celebrating @Harvard's new president Claudine Gay. Together with @karalmckinley, @GaabLab, Arlene Sharpe, and @amitabhchandra2, they delved into the future of biomedical research.

More than thrilled to see that @BolanosAnton and @Irene_Faravelli got the poster award at #ISSCR2023. Fantastic team effort 👩‍🔬👩‍🔬 developing multi-donor brain Chimeroids as a useful platform to better understand human inter-individual variability in disease🧫🧠🧬🔬.

Arlotta lab in #ISSCR2023, Great time and inspiring science in Boston!! 📢 check out the posters of @Irene_Faravelli, @BolanosAnton, @uzquiano_a, and Rafaela Sartore! 🧠🧫🔬

Kudos to Paola Arlotta for receiving the Gutenberg Research Award today! The award from the Gutenberg Research College (GRC) recognizes Paola's research achievements and her dedication to mentoring and supporting the next generations of scientists👩‍🔬. We are very proud of her!👏👏

It is great honor to receive the FASEB Excellence in Science Award. Grateful for the opportunity to share my passion for science and to work with amazing trainees to foster the understanding of brain development. Special thanks to my husband and kids for always being there for me

Happy new year!🎇 We all wish you a fabulous 2023 with lots of inspiration, new discoveries, and mostly joy in the beautiful work we all do! 🧠🧫🤩

Had an awesome time channeling our inner vikings @UrbanAxes in Union Square! 🪓🪓🪓

A big thanks to Martha and Joshua for their kindness, inspiration, and patience to teach us how to generate beautiful art pieces using leaves and nature products 🍂🍁🍀🌿🍃🌍.

It was fun and we discovered our inner artists! 🧑‍🎨👩‍🎨🖼️

Extremely happy to share our “art” work!!👩‍🎨🎨 During our last lab retreat🔬🧠 in Maine 🌳🌲 we had the opportunity to experience a pottery class! 🧵 @DanielaJDiBella @Irene_Faravelli @NuriaIturza @MMonteroCrespo @Sartore_Rafaela @Ashwins_shetty

Happy Halloween everyone! In Arlotta lab 🧠🔬 we had a lot of fun carving our pumpkins to celebrate the season, join us and share your favorite pumpkin!! 🎃🎃

The Arlotta Lab is very proud of our two undergrad students Andrew Zhang and Luca Hensch for graduating Harvard College in the class of 2022! Congratulations!

We create the most innovative, creative, and impactful STEM community by attracting and retaining a diverse workforce. So please celebrate, appreciate, and support your favorite #WomenInScience today! (9/9)

To pave the way for the future, we also need to take a good look at how we’re teaching and training STEM students in schools and universities. All of us who work in STEM need to ensure we’re creating safe, welcoming, and flexible environments. (7/9)

Once women enter STEM fields, they face barriers to advancement. Women typically get smaller research grants than male colleagues & in the US, the % of women gets smaller as you go higher up the leadership hierarchy, especially women of color (6/9) awis.org/leadership-rep…

According to a study by Microsoft, most girls (72%) believe it’s important to have a career that directly helps the world; only 37% believe STEM careers would let them do that. By studying the processes underlying major psychiatric diseases, we hope to help change that! (5/9)

The numbers vary widely by discipline, with engineering and computational fields showing the largest disparity (aauw.org/resources/rese…). Organizations like @GirlsWhoCode address this by encouraging young girls to participate in tech fields. (4/9)

Globally, 35% of STEM students in higher education are women (en.unesco.org/stemed). This discrepancy caught the attention of the United Nations and, in 2015, they proclaimed February 11 of each year to be observed as International Day of Women and Girls in Science (3/9)

Our last paper was directed by a team of amazing women scientists: @bruna_paulsen, @AKedaigle, @SilviaM_Velasco, @Pigoni_Martina, and Paola. nature.com/articles/s4158…

And we have a wonderful team of women and allies in the lab! But as a field, we still have more to do. (2/9)

Today, to honor and appreciate the successes of women in science, we’ll be sharing a few facts about women in science and how we can all work to overcome barriers to gender equality in our discipline. 🧠👩‍🔬🧵 (1/9)

#WomeninScienceDay we are proud to be led by wonderful women scientist committed to training the next generation of role models in developmental neurobiology, including @GiorgiaQuadrato, @xinjin, @LodatoS_Lab,@SilviaM_Velasco and many more brilliant lab members past and present!

Zoom lab meeting (featuring @Ashwins_shetty ) & science connect us in this extraordinary time! @jzlevin @bruna_paulsen @jeff_stogsdill @DanielaJDiBella @xinniej @BolanosAnton @SilviaV74098895 @aczhang12 @uzquiano_a @Pigoni_Martina @VahbizJ @AKedaigle @seankenneths + many more
