Excellent! So interesting to see the mechanisms emerging. Was there any change to Fli1 expression levels in the Stag2 mutant cells?

The Jackal is excellent (series starring Eddie Redmayne as a hitman)

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.

Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.

Say equity, which a just society should pursue.

Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

A question into the big blue sky. Why is doing the right thing and acting with integrity and kindness β€œleft wing” and β€œwoke” ? What does that say about humanity?

It’s also worth scrolling down for her reply to one of the comments (but I’ll just post it here).

Watched Te Herenga Waka Victoria University graduation on livestream for my arts graduate son, Chancellor John Allen gave THE most animated speech valuing the humanities. Fists pumping and trencher almost flying off his head. Best thing I’ve seen in weeks.

Excellent analysis of the consequences of 'prioritising' NZ's one blue skies fund. Without diversity of excellent research in all fields, how can we hope to rise to future challenges? We become a Round-up-sprayed monoculture of short-term low gain ideas.

Cohesin composition and dosage independently affect early development in zebrafish bioRxiv - the preprint server for biology, operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, a research and educational institution

Delighted to share Anastasia Labudina's PhD research - a really interesting story on "amount" versus "flavour" of cohesin in zebrafish development

I played this ahead of one of my lectures the other week. The students were well chilled. Then I started talking about the 3D genome …

Now that’s insanity! Anyway my university will only pay for 2. Also if you want to check references are appropriate as you go you’d need 4 monitors
