Dix ans après l’Accord de Paris, nous étions réunis à l’Académie du Climat avec Laurent Fabius, associations, chercheurs et personnalités engagées pour célébrer ce tournant historique !

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.

Have you ever wondered how new DNA methylation patterns are established?

Paradigm shift ahead! We discovered a new mode of DNA methylation targeting in plants that relies on transcription factors and sequence motifs rather than chromatin modifications to regulate the methylome. rdcu.be/eQ6L5

pink lustreware jug with a scrimshaw ship illustration

swiftly see each moment flies,
see and learn, be timely wise 
every moment shortens day,
every pulse beats life away,
thus thy every heaving breath,
wafts thee on to certain death,
seize the moments as they fly,
know to live and learn to die

yes i'm sure this is all AI. so AI wrote their thesis proposal? but also they've never read the papers it cites? don't get a phd if you don't want to learn, holy shit.

kinda putting this out there as a PSA. maybe their thesis committee doesn't know what was in the papers but i sure do! how do people think this strategy will work out for them?

a grad student at another institution emailed me about their interest in my lab. they attached their thesis proposal, which contained several inaccuracies regarding my work. and also a reference that doesn't exist.

$15k stipend to support 9 weeks of full time summer research!

For rising juniors/seniors who are able to travel to and obtain housing at the location of the lab they are placed in!

I did an HHMI summer experience in 2013 and it changed everything for me! Apply…or tell someone to apply!
