The most recent story from @PlathLab is out in Nature! Read more about how Xist mediates heritable gene silencing on #ChrX. Happy to be part of this work! nature.com/articles/s4158…
I love this. Such an important thing to remember as a mentor, teacher, employer, etc.

We are very pleased to announce the outstanding members of our Inaugural Advisory Board. Each of these scientists have made a tremendous impact on their science communities and we look forward to their contributions to the advancement of The Network. Onward together 🙌🏽
Congrats @TheTracyLab, an amazing mentor, scientist, educator, and now Dean!

A few tips and tricks to think about: -create daily goals and an hourly schedule for yourself -experiment with different motivational strategies (sticker charts work great for adults, too!) -don't go it alone - form a group and check in with each other at least once a day
Congrats to Aaron van Loon for taking the cover image in the current issue of @JCellBiol !

Excited to share our work @MolecularCell on a genome-wide pathway that selectively degrades mRNAs with highly-structured 3'UTRs. This structure-mediated RNA decay (SRD) pathway senses the overall base-pairing density, but not defined sequences/structures. dlvr.it/RPJz1L
Learning research means doing research: @TheTracyLab “If a kid wants to play soccer, you don’t say, ‘You have to 1st learn all the rules, watch other people play & read about the soccer greats, & maybe in a couple years, we’ll let you kick the ball.’ No!” ucla.in/2GrGHeD
It's here!!! science.sciencemag.org/content/367/64… OMG! OMG! 😱😱😱
Thrilled to share our latest work with the bioinformagician @kiminsigne. We measure promoter activity of 500,000+ sequences spanning the entire E. coli genome with 8x coverage and systematically mutate discovered promoters to identify regulatory elements.

Have you seen all these recent spliceosome #cryoEM structures and just wished you could see the bigger picture beyond all the snRNPs and RNAs and a million protein names? Check out our review! annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.114… Minimum detail, many pretty pictures, and LOTS of MOVIES
WOW WOW WOW Reconstituted Cohesin caught live extruding DNA loops! Turns out it needed an energy boost from its friends NIPBL and MAU2 "single human cohesin complexes form DNA loops symmetrically at up to 2.1 kbp/second." Iain Davidson et al., Peters lab science.sciencemag.org/content/early/…
If you want to have good ideas, you need to have a lot of ideas, and that means you need to have a lot of bad ideas. And, you need to have the courage to look closely and be honest with yourself in order to separate the good ideas from the bad ideas. Not easy, but so worth it.
I get many messages from aspiring black scientists who say they hardly see scientists that look like them online/IRL. So I want to spend time highlighting black scientists, medics, engineers, mathematicians and techies! Introduce yourselves below & I’ll be retweeting👨🏾🎓👩🏿🔬👩🏽🏫👨🏿🏭🧪🔭
Happy RNA Day from the Johnson Lab--the best lab ever!! Thank you @trend for the 5' cap! @LeungCal @LAThurlow @AzadeeAzad @_Sam_Edwards @sokonkwo_
