Squeee!!!

I love how you watch tv shows and then a few years later when you watch it again the show magically changes. Interesting!

@levgrossman.com does no one see the connection between the silver orbs in our earth and what you wrote?

Yeah.

Zara Weinberg passed away earlier this week. She joined my lab earlier this year when her postdoc lab formally closed.
She was a brilliant scientist, supportive mentor, dear friend, avid music fan, rabid believer in public transit, open science champion, and above all just an amazing human.

Happy Halloween! I love my colleagues! They’re the best humans!

Congratulations!🎉🎊

Human RPA is an essential telomerase processivity factor for maintaining telomeres Telomerase counteracts telomere shortening by repeatedly adding DNA repeats to chromosome ends. We identified the replication protein A (RPA) heterotrimer as a telomerase processivity factor critical ...

Our paper in Science is out! @souravagrawal.bsky.social, @rlynn.bsky.social, @susvirkar.bsky.social, and the rest of the team show human RPA is a telomerase processivity factor essential for telomere maintenance. This reshapes our thinking about telomerase regulation. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Among the anti-recombinases, FIGNL1 rules them all. So much that inactivating it brings BRCA2-deficient cells to life. Who is responsible for RAD51 loading without BRCA2/FIGNL1, check out the paper to find out! Great collaboration with @raychaudhurilab.bsky.social

Zara Weinberg was a brilliant light both in and out of science. She changed the lives of everyone she interacted and loved for the better. Her legacy will live on through all of us and we will fight for a better world on behalf of her memory.

It is too beautiful!!!!!!🤩

made a joke today that part of why I participated in writing this commentary was that "Do it because it's right!" doesn't seem to be a compelling enough argument for some of colleagues 😭

No. Just NO.

Lab’s first paper is out!! We show the first structures of #Asgard #chromatin by #cryo-EM 🧬❄️
Asgard histones form closed and open hypernucleosomes. Closed are conserved across #Archaea, while open resemble eukaryotic H3–H4 octasomes and are Asgard-specific. More here: www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

We have to absolutely hammer this home: Science suffers without the values embedded in DEI 🧪

I know that’s right!❤️

One of the coolest things about being faculty @ucdavis.bsky.social is the graduate group concept! Students apply to be in grad groups that are of interest and faculty can hold membership in several groups to recruit and mentor students with diverse interests! grad.ucdavis.edu/graduate-gro...

I’m ready for us collectively to lean on each other support everyone in our communities and divest from systems.

The time,

is NOW!

I think the good part is that it’s nearly over-Socialism now!

SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines sensitize tumours to immune checkpoint blockade - Nature mRNA vaccines targeting SARS-CoV-2 also sensitize tumours to immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Finally read the paper and it's worth the buzz.
mRNA vaccines saved 20 million lives in a global pandemic and the technology is opening up new avenues for the treatment of deadly cancers. This is really one of the most impactful scientific developments of our time.

Congrats!!!!🍾🎊

A nuclease-driven mechanism of post-replicative ssDNA gap suppression. The persistence of post-replicative ssDNA gaps following PRIMPOL-mediated replication repriming is linked to chemosensitivity, and in all models reported to date the nuclease MRE11 has been implicated...

New preprint from the lab for any DNA repair or replication stress geeks out there!

Ring door bells is now controlled by Palantir.
If you have it look up Palantir and Peter Theil.

Then remove it.

You’re welcome.

Knowledge is power. You are the Power.

It’s so funny that when they announced they were building a new bunker under the the new ballroom on the east wing of the White House I called it. Hmmm…I wonder why they would be building that?

Higher Ed’s Rush To Adopt AI Is About So Much More Than AI | Defector If you don’t work at a university or have college-age kids, you may have missed the flurry of news stories and social media banter about AI adoption in higher ed, stories which have snowballed into th...

This is one of the best analyses of the total grift and scammery of AI in education I’ve seen, and it is a MUST Read: “Higher Ed’s Rush To Adopt AI Is About So Much More Than AI - defector.com/higher-eds-r...

Cheers to that! 🍻

First of all, that's a tiny fraction of the personnel expenses that need to be covered and second of all, these capitalist pigs would rather pay $130 million to prevent people from getting healthcare than pay $130 million for people to have healthcare

That's about oppression. Entirely.

The Epstein Ballroom it is

That makes me feel better:) ❤️

NASA confirms Earth now has two moons until 2083 Earth just got a new tag-along in space — a little asteroid named 2025 PN7. NASA confirmed this week that the rock, discovered by the University of Hawaii, is officially a “quasi-moon” — a rare type o...

This is so laughable I cannot even.
