Maybe my last post here? ---> Follow the lab on 🦋🦋🦋 ! Happily retweeting new preprint: @Paul_Chammas postdoc paper @MRC_LMS , teasing apart Dux vs MERVL in the 2C-like state. Not all 2C-like cells are created equal....
26 Nov 2024
Happy to share our latest #preprint showcasing the work done during my postdoc in the lab of @MPercharde at the @MRC_LMS. We used CRISPRa to disentangle the close relationship between Dux and MERVL elements in the induction of the 2-cell like state. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (1/8)

SPA = single particle analysis? @champneys

Weekend spa hotel report: I can’t help but notice design parallels with modern #cryoem microscopes, in this ‘Cryo therapy treatment’ device I found on site.
I doubt CRYOACTION is trade marked, @thermosciEMSpec @JEOLEUROPE in case you like the look.

Very cool findings for a role for LINE1 in human ESCs from @MRSantosLab . Remarkable to have partial similarities to its role in 🐭
30 Sep 2024
📣Sharing the latest research from the @MRSantosLab, just released on bioRxiv! We found LINE1 RNA promotes nuclear compartmentalization to repress the 8-cell state in human embryonic stem cells.

Our new work is out today! Long time in the oven, this has been a really fun and informative collaboration led by Dhanur Iyer in my lab and @HK_Heidar from @NRivron lab. We show that human embryonic cells have an inherent potential to regulate their developmental timing.

A truly inspiring scientist to lead @TheCrick Exciting times for the Crick and the UK!
9 Jul 2024
We are delighted to announce that Professor Edith Heard has been appointed as our new director and chief executive!
Edith, who is currently director-general at @EMBL, will succeed Paul Nurse in leading the Crick from the summer of 2025.

ALT "The Francis Crick Institute has quickly established a global reputation for its work at the frontiers of science. I relish the challenge of building on that work. I also want to pay tribute to Sir Paul Nurse, without whom the Francis Crick Institute would not be the world-leading institution it is today." - Edith Heard

Still don’t know what a Roving Researcher is? Or why your institute needs one? @Alexis_Barr and I wrote a thing! A win for scientists on leave (parental, sick leave) is a win for all science 😎
