I am fascinated by the sharp switch. It's not a gradual "we should start wrapping up", nope. It's like Cinderella's carriage turning into pumpkin but instead of midnight it's a ticking bomb.

๐ŸŽ‰I am very excited to share that the Di Bella lab started at Fundacion Leloir in Argentina ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท. We will continue to study genetic and molecular mechanisms behind neuronal diversification in the cerebral cortex. We are now hiring at all levels ๐Ÿง

Yes! I was just wondering the other day. Best of luck for the start! Looking forward to lots of cool science.

We actually discussed that paper in journal club! I thought your approach of chromatin remodeling changing the landscape was very interesting. I have been meaning to think about this further but I'm starting to learn that unless I block my calendar, it'll never happen! Thanks for the reminder.
