Few things in science are as heart-warming as seeing one of your PhD or postdoc buddies start their own lab and begin absolutely KILLING IT with amazing discoveries!.

RT @bsabari: I am excited to share the latest paper from my lab where we leverage the selection bias of condensate-promoting oncofusions to….

We are grateful for the positive reception this has received :). Also realized we should fully credit a paper that inspired us & identified the TCX5/6 repressors. Our breakthrough wouldn't have been possible without this important work (Xin-Jian He's lab).

- Have a great weekend!.Friday 4:59pm.

- Just to re-emphasize how much we respect your time, here are an extra 3 paragraphs to read that don't meaningfully change the content of the message.

- No doubt the purpose of the system is essential and shall not be questioned. - A non-trivial amount of busybody work is required by you, the university professor, with a fairly tight deadline. - Did we mention your compliance is *essential?*.

The worst type of email you can get as a PI:. - Random admin needs your assistance ASAP. - Admin office has created a clunky bureaucratic tracking system. - Admin office notes your department is *out of compliance* with the system they have created.

RT @zhonglab: Our work on evolution and functional divergence of DNA methyltransferases is out ⁦@ScienceAdvances⁩. Kudos to ⁦@jiang_jianjun….

Lastly, a note for the field of plant epigenetics. We hope that these findings also make people (including us) appropriately nervous about how they sample. Both the age of the organ and the timing of organ emergence absolutely matter and should be controlled for!.
