Clear and compelling interview with @baym on the harm of cutting funding to antibiotic research: https://t.co/KehKBrDl51 This affects so much of modern medicine; many cancer treatments, including regimens with curative intent, are only safe because of effective antibiotics.

Things I wish more people knew about doing science in the US (thread):

My lab at UCSF ( https://t.co/UMmzM70Hgw) is looking to recruit multiple postdocs across the spectrum of wet/dry lab interests to contribute to our research in synthetic gene regulation, combinatorial genetics, and tissue biology (including liver biology and immuno-oncology). We

Need to get this flag for my office

I am excited to share a part of my postdoctoral work that came out today in @Nature. We developed a single-cell nascent RNA sequencing method (scGRO-seq) that, among other applications, can help generate enhancer-gene maps. 🧵1/13 https://t.co/k9VIxvjUzs

Exciting to see what our discoveries have led to so far!! Lights a 🔥 under us, as well as many other physicians and scientists!

Now published @NatureCellBio📢 Using CRISPRi/a screening, we dive deep into the transporters driving essential nutrient import into cells. Discover more about amino acid transport, metabolism, ferroptosis, and environmental impacts on tumor growth here:

This was ruled a foul in the final seconds of Samford-Kansas in a 1-point game.

We are profoundly grateful that Dr. Ruth Gottesman, Professor Emerita of Pediatrics at @EinsteinMed, has made a transformational gift to #MontefioreEinstein—the largest to any medical school in the country—that ensures no student has to pay tuition again. https://t.co/XOy9HZLbfD

I think that if you set yourself a goal to publish CNS papers you lower your chances of making an important discovery

I think he should be forced to carry it to term

Pinpointing causal variants that disrupt development. So proud of the amazing team on this epic enhancer genotype-to-phenotype study. Well Done, Fabian Lim, @JoeSolvason, Genevieve Ryan, Sophia Le, @granton_jindal, Paige Steffen and Simran Jandu!!! https://t.co/iKjf6O26b7
