Former ISSCR President @valentatormenta.bsky.social reflects on how discovery, like imaging cells, requires multiple perspectives to reveal what’s otherwise hidden in her new piece published in Science Politics. sciencepolitics.org/2026/03/23/w... @yalepress.bsky.social @hhmi-science.bsky.social
This is a remarkable achievement - congrats to all involved!
