1/6 🧬New paper at @CellSytemsCP led by @SashaFanari! What if the “fifth nucleotide,” pseudouridine (Ψ), in mRNA dynamically responds to cell state? We used nanopore direct RNA sequencing + Mod‑pID to map Ψ in a neuron‑like SH‑SY5Y line under “normal” and “perturbed” conditions

I never thought I would say this, but I miss R. Excel sucks.

Latest preprint from recent grad (!!) @CAMcCormick20 Recently developed nanopore tools have identified psi modifications on mRNAs, but the functions remain unknown. From the list of candidate sites, we need to cull it down to the most interesting 🧵 https://t.co/1gvRz8brIQ

Have you heard the news? Our alumna Samantha Johnson '21 made the @Forbes 30 under 30 Boston list for her robotic hand Tactile ASL Translational Use Machine (Tatum). Check it out: https://t.co/uw42ZTeyG0

As someone who just formed my committee, IMO a descriptive email should precede a meeting. Mine included 1) a brief introduction, 2) abstract-esque research description 3) how this PI's expertise would be beneficial. Everyone's busy; let's be time efficient
Not sure who is giving this guidance, but PhD students: we don't need to meet to discuss whether or not I should be on your thesis committee. Just send a description of what you do and why I might be helpful. I can decide based on that.

Nothing makes me trust a paper more than if it's written cautiously, tries hard not to overstate or over-interpret the data, openly discusses weaknesses & alternative explanations. Tell me all the caveats, understate the conclusions, remind me that your model is speculative.

As I said, housing is preventative medicine. Without affordable & good quality housing, there is NO foundation upon which people can achieve health.

I recently interviewed a strong candidate. She generously credited other researchers whose methods enabled her research. This created a strong positive impression about her. Deservingly crediting others does not diminish our contributions. ◼️It frames them in a helpful context.
