Excited to share our work with Eranthie Weerapana and Tim van Opijnen, co-led by @conor_loynd, @SinghaSoumya, and @SCanarelli! We introduce a new generation of BONCAT tools for versatile characterization of newly synthesized proteins in pathogenic bacteria rdcu.be/eI4M5

I discuss the urgent crisis from the loss of federal support of science in the US and recent clinical gene editing breakthroughs with @WalterIsaacson & @amanpour on @AmanpourCoPBS, airing on @PBS tonight at 11 pm ET, and on @cnni earlier today. Pls share! youtube.com/watch?v=8YhJM6zx…

Today in @ScienceMagazine we report the development of a laboratory-evolved CRISPR-associated transposase (evoCAST) that supports therapeutically relevant levels of RNA-programmable gene insertion in human cells, a collaboration with @SternbergLab. 1/13 drive.google.com/file/d/1I-U…

NIH is centralizing peer review of all applications for grants, cooperative agreements and research and development contracts within the agency’s @CSRpeerreview. This is expected to save NIH more than $65 million annually & make the review process more efficient. go.nih.gov/iGmUyfH

This isn't science fiction. This is real sequencing biotechnology just introduced by Roche. Wild and wonderful.

We are excited to report the discovery of TIGRs, a widely-occurring RNA-guided system found in bacteria and their viruses. TIGRs consist of a peculiar repeat region which is transcribed into RNA and processed into multiple guide RNAs to direct TIGR-associated proteins to their DNA targets. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Basic science is inspired by curiosity, accountable to evidence, and subject to peer review. Politics should have no role.

1/ After residency at Mass General Hospital, I reported to Atlanta to meet my fellow CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service Officers. I have never felt so intimidated by my peers The best and the brightest, they were star clinicians, had served in disaster zones; MD/PhDs and MSF.
