Goodbye, Copenhagen. Weird to think that the next time I’m here, I’ll be moving back after 10 years abroad.

If anything additional happens (which I really hope it doesn’t), please wait until Tuesday night. With less than six months left of my postdoc, I’d rather not get stuck away from the lab.🫠

Exciting breakthrough technology from the lab, now live in @CellCellPress ! Instead of cutting the genome where proteins bind (e.g., Cut&Tag), D&D-seq scars the DNA with a deaminase, allowing single cell genome mapping of TFs and chromatin remodellers!

When even the airport security guard questions your decision to switch from plant biology to mammalian research😅

Beautiful story from @XiaofengFangLab showing that the SAM-containing protein SAM8 acts as a sensor of water potential and regulates RNA export under stress. Another fascinating link between polymerization domains, stress sensing, and RNA biology. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Almost four years since I left my PhD lab, and still not a day goes by without me hearing something my supervisor used to say in my head.

One of the positive things about doing science in Israel these days is that every time your enzyme or antibody actually shows up, it feels like a miracle 😅

The best thing about FACS is the time it gives you to read papers while the machine decides whether a cell is actually red.

Crazy story
Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. scim.ag/4u133d3

🆕 review with @jp_unfried out in @NatureSMB 🧐. Direct roles of lncRNAs in transcriptional activation. What do we understand about how lncRNAs lure Pol2 and set the stage for RNA production, and what do we still miss? nature.com/articles/s41594-0…

When your protocol says: “immediately perform” how important is it actually..🧐😅 Maybe I should just do the whole thing in the shelter.

“Negative observations are still valuable science”. True in the lab and apparently also when you fly around the moon. #ArtemisII
