A beautifully crafted summary of the extraordinary discovery in the lab of my @mrclmb.bsky.social colleague @philholliger.bsky.social of a tiny RNA that can replicate RNA.

Just posted our latest, led by Consuelo Perez and Pierre Murat, showing the intimate relationship between transcription, DNA supercoiling and chromatin architecture during human stem cell differentiation. Thanks to all at @mrclmb.bsky.social doi.org/10.64898/202...

Oh that’s not what I meant at all. Family obligations are always a juggle. It is especially challenging in summer for many reasons - including for those who have (often aging) family overseas.

Just a reminder that August is peak school holidays in the UK, but also more broadly in Europe and in Canada. If you schedule conferences during August you exclude a large proportion of people from these regions who have family obligations.

We LOVE the brewer palette!
Imported into illustrator to facilitate figure making in my lab.

Unprompted, the 14yo told me she has a deep hatred for Comic Sans.
I love that kid so much.
