We’re at the SfN (Society for Neuroscience) annual meeting in Washington, DC this week. If you’re there too, please drop by and say hello – we’re at booth 2200.

In light of SfN, we’ll be including some Neuroscience-related posts this week. In this video, Martin Raff, Head of the Neuroscience Faculty, talks to Web of Stories about cell death being an inbuilt process:

Cells have a built-in suicide program [that] operates automatically by default … that’s what cells really want to do all the time … The only reason they don’t is that the other cells are saying “Don’t do it – don’t kill yourself!”
