At times like today, I am reminded why the work we do to make higher education equitable for minoritized scientists is vital. Over the next 4 years, we will see higher education face one of its most critical challenges due to an expansion of the anti-DEI laws as US colleges

EXCITED to unroll this 🧵 on our new story on the metabolic licensing of animal development... How did we even get here..? https://t.co/Z5mhTtLGde Early embryo is thought of a pre-set machine that's set to go once it's fertilized - check out this gorgeous 📽️from Phil Keller!

Thank you @Dev_journal @amjeve for featuring me in this interview! It was fun chatting about developmental timing, the importance of mentorship, and the challenges of becoming a PI at an early career stage 🌟
Transitions in development – an interview with Margarete Diaz Cuadros @MDiazCuadros @DiazCuadrosLab talks about transitioning to becoming a PI, creating a positive lab environment and removing barriers for under-represented communities in science: https://t.co/xcHO8k9JUd

I’m very excited to share my first preprint on HMCES and how we analyzed its crosslink reversal mechanism in cells 🧬🧪🧑🏻🔬
biorxiv.org
Abasic sites are common DNA lesions that stall polymerases and threaten genome stability. When located in single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), they are shielded from aberrant processing by HMCES via a...

🥳 Extremely happy to see part of my PhD work published in @AGA_Gastro! Please have a read of the paper twitorial below. We showed the direct transition of SPEM into dysplasia!
Check out our latest paper in @AGA_Gastro by SHL, ECP, and DG analyzing fibroblast subpopulations in stomach carcinogenesis and their effects in promoting the transition of metaplasia into dysplasia. Link of the paper:

Excited to share our preprint where we used #cryoEM helical reconstruction to determine the structure of a baculoviral #nucleocapsid and its major capsid protein VP39 at 3.2 Å. #helicalreconstruction
biorxiv.org
Baculoviruses are insect-infecting pathogens with wide applications as biological pesticides, in vitro protein production vehicles and gene therapy tools. Its cylindrical nucleocapsid, which encaps...

Thank you so much @SonnenKatharina for this thoughtful News and Views, and for your valuable input during the revision process! Looking forward to testing the generality of these findings in other developmental/metabolic contexts across the tree of life
It is a pleasure to highlight this paper by @MDiazCuadros and Olivier Pourquié et al., in which they show that mass-specific metabolic differences affect developmental time in mouse and human somitogenesis:
