If you’re at #TAGC24 and interested in how replication-dependent histone genes are regulated, come learn about the “Mute button” in Gene Regulation 2 tomorrow from 4:30-6:30pm!

✨Harnessing the power of Drosophila✨ to ask Q's about the roles of canonical and variant histones in genome function and development. A 🧵about this little journey, which was a pretty wonderful first project in the @DuronioLab and @DMcKay_Lab. 1/9 academic.oup.com/genetics/ad…

If you like any combination of histones, gene regulation, pretty IF images, and the cell cycle stop by 459T today at #Dros23 🪰! I’ll be sharing some exciting findings from my work in the @DuronioLab on the negative regulation of histone genes!

PhD candidate 🤝 tenured grad student. Excited for this next step with an awesome lab!
🎉 Congrats to @Histone_Mark who passed is oral prelim exam with a fantastic proposal! (And in spite of the strange beings over his shoulders) #HappyHalloween 🎉

So-dium excited to share my first #SciComm piece with @UNC_SWAC!
While unassuming, salt is the key to unlocking flavor in your home cooking. How does this small molecule have an outsized effect on your taste buds? @Histone_Mark tells us here: thepipettepen.com/dont-in-sa… #scicomm #sciencecommunication

One of the pleasures of running a training research lab is working with smart, talented undergraduates like Mia Hoover @miahoov23, Tiffany Riascos, and Cameron Prince, who each presented a poster of their work this semester. Congrats you three!

Had the pleasure of editing this great piece for @UNC_SWAC! Read about drinking bacterial cultures before they were flavored.
The discovery of Helicobacter pylori and its link to stomach ulcers was initially dismissed in scientific and medical fields…until one scientist donated his own stomach to the cause. Read about it here: thepipettepen.com/how-drinki… #scicomm #NobelPrize
