Congrats to @annavoss.bsky.social on a fantastic poster presentation at SFN today!!! Stay tuned for more on her work in the future on links between histone variant H2BE and a novel neurodevelopmental disorder.

Stoked to be repping the @korblab.bsky.social at #sfn25 this week! Come learn histone variant H2BE and its relevance to neurodevelopmental disorders on:

1. Saturday at the Early Career Session (#B1)

2. Monday at the Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Developmental Disorders II session (#A59)

Best Halloween lab costume ever

Congratulations!! That is fantastic news and so well deserved.

Fall Philly sunset by boat house row... hard to beat.

Please repost! We are looking for a new research specialist for our lab. See korblab.com for more about what we do and apply at wd1.myworkdaysite.com/en-US/recrui...

The final tally of the laternfly squishing contest is in! No one came close to catching Audrey with a whopping 475. But Annastelle sneaked in for a unexpected 2nd place title reaching triple didgets with 107! Congrats to all for the effort in taking down a grand total of 813. Well done team.

Congrats to our summer under grad Ishani and her mentor @annavoss.bsky.social on a great summer in the lab and presentation to our group! Ishani learned ALL the techniques and actually likes western blots.

8 year old visited the office today. Solutions was originally written Solootions which is definitely how it should be spelled from now on.

The Anne West lab at Duke is hiring a postdoc to work on nuclear cell biology in neurogenesis. Please help me spread the word! Applications to west@neuro.duke.edu.

Sometimes you've just gotta focus on the problems you can do something about, however small... hence the inaugural KORB LAB SPOTTED LANTERN FLY SQUASHING CONTEST. Competition has only just begun and Audrey is off to a stunning start!! But can she hold the lead?? Time will tell.

So excited to have been part of this work from the Corder lab! Congrats to Jess and the whole team.

So excited that Sean Louzon is defending his thesis this Friday!! Come to hear about his exceptional work on the histone variant H2BE in astrocytes and in aging brains.

I'm thrilled to share that I will be starting my independent lab this winter as a tenure-track Assistant Professor at the new BRIDGE Center at CHOP and @pennmedicine.bsky.social Grateful for the support from mentors, collaborators, and friends—excited for what's ahead! 🧠✨

Fantastic day for the Korb lab with Marissa defending her thesis on DOT1L function in the brain and passing the torch to Annastelle who passed her qualifying exam on testing mechanisms of DOT1L regulation of chromatin in neurons! May 20th shall henceforth be known as National DOT1L Day.

Our graduate student Marissa is graduating in a week!!! So excited for this and to see Marissa’s paper out soon… (stay tuned…)

Congrats to our undergraduate Camille on her final poster presentation here at Penn, covering her many years of work in our lab!

Check out our new review, written by @blukasak.bsky.social, on the role of histone variants in the brain, complete with model figures with all the information we could squeeze into one image!

Happy to share my recent review with @korblab.bsky.social discussing the role of histone variants in neuronal function. We discussed recent advances and open questions in this emerging area of research. #Neuro#Epigenetics

This is my all time favorite @maddow.msnbc.com check it out on a map. #hands-off in #Talkeetna. TALKEETNA!

Many people out at a rally. A sign saying "unite and resist" hangs off a balcony and the space needle is visible in the background

People protesting at a rally, many holding signs. One sign is shaped like president Trump with his rear end exposed. The space needle is in the background

View from above of thousands of people at a rally.

Seattle is united and resisting 💪

Big crowd today marching from Piedmont Pk to Georgia state capitol.
Don't let the disaster feel unstoppable - people are not okay with what is happening!

Our lab just had a senior grad student get into a highly competitive IRACDA program after years and years of hard work, only to have the program cancelled 48 hours later. We're so angry, and so is Philly!!! Amazing crowds out today marching.

So cool!!! Congrats!

Congrats Ben!! Well deserved and so nice to hear some happy science news too.

I miss when the biggest controversy about mRNA was whether it correlated with protein or not.

This image shows a political rally flyer with a red, white, and blue color scheme featuring a Liberty Bell icon at the top right. The main text reads "Corruption Destroys, Community Builds" with "Corruption" and "Community" in blue and "Destroys," and "Builds" in red. The event details are listed as "Saturday March 15" (in blue), "Noon" (in red), "Philadelphia" (in blue), and "City Hall" (in red), all contained within a blue-outlined box. At the bottom of the flyer are logos for "Indivisible Philadelphia" (showing a bell symbol) and their QR code and a "50501" emblem inside a shape the state of Pennsylvania indicating 50501PA and the national 50501 QR code.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

#Philadelphia ! Come on Sat March 15. 2025 to City Hall to peacefully but loudly rally w/#50501Philadelphia & #IndivisiblePhiladelphia Noon. Share w/your networks! tinyurl.com/DoSomethingP... @50501movement.bsky.social @indivisiblephl.bsky.social

Maisie 🐶 and I are always here to #standupforscience

GO PHILLY for showing up today in full force. Including an adorable lab dog and even lab relatives
