Great work from Hahn lab @hutchbasicsci.bsky.social that changes how we think about transcription factor binding:

thanks Alex....was wondering what was going on in GM....is there anything notable about how the MYF grants were picked?

Congrats to this fantastic group of @jcchildsfund.bsky.social postdoctoral fellows! Grateful to a fantastic Board of Scientific Advisors for all their work!

Grateful to the lab for celebrating 25 years and to @hutchbasicsci.bsky.social for being such a great place to do science!

This is a really important additional concern with the proposed budget
