If you are interested in genome regulatory systems (and who is not?) you really should apply to our department!.
A reminder that our department @UCIBioSci is conducting a search for two tenure-track assistant professor positions. The deadline is 12/15. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.

Don’t forget that Fascists predate Nazis in Italy (and France, Spain, etc…) and also survived WWII. It’s just that they are now getting popular enough to lead national governments driven by anti-immigration hatred. But of course, the very same ideas have resurged in the US too.
Nazis are taking over Europe, again. Were they ever really gone?.

Just came across an 2019 eLife scRNA paper with the following section title in the results:. “Components reflect known biology but also highlight sets of genes with mysterious purpose” 🧐. This paper has now been cited 69 times. We are probably going to have to cite it too. 😔.

As a public service announcement, #severance is an amazing and incredibly addictive show and you should be watching it!. Personally, the show reminds me as much about life as graduate student as my now thankfully forgotten corporate life.
Welcome to your first day at Lumon! Here is where you’ll find all the information necessary to succeed as a new employee. #Severance Your Lumon orientation thread ⬇️
