@AsifaAkhtar1 @IbrahimCisse_ @ShiekhattarLab @fiddle @AleciaYHLO @ShilatifardLab @RongFan8 @MariekeOudelaar @mpi_nat @ReinbergDanny @SchubelerLab @FMIscience @HaggSara @wendy_bickmore @berger_lab @AbidKhanEpigen The Epigenetics Meeting in Freiburg is known for being pretty packed. Thus, right after the keynote by Patrick Cramer, we continued with Rob Martienssen, @hitenmadhani, Valérie Hilgers (@hilgers_lab), Ayele Denboba @a_denboba as well as Yoichi Shinkai from @riken_en)

Now @hilgers_lab, representating @embl PhDs, talks about RNA processing in fly neurons. I didn’t meet Valerie until last week, when we did an epic open-water sea swim, for which she spontaneously volunteered. Huge waves. #EMBL #alumni community is everywhere & courageous #EMBL50

My annual reminder that only 4% of Nobels in science and medicine have gone to women.
The first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the first individual to be awarded two Nobel Prizes and still today the only individual with two Nobel Prizes in two different scientific categories: Marie Skłodowska Curie. Learn more: https://t.co/Da1EINZJE9

Now online! Direct observation of a condensate effect on super-enhancer controlled gene bursting
cell.com
Transcriptional condensate dynamically interacts with the gene locus, resulting in a burst increase when in proximity and a return to basal bursting when the condensate moves away.

It was such an honor to visit the University of Colorado and be the first Blumenthal lecturer!
Join us tomorrow for the inaugural Blumenthal Lectureship in RNA Biology with @hilgers_lab! This annual lectureship is supported by a gift from Dr. Tom Blumenthal, former Chair of @CU_BMG, and former Director of @CrnicInstitute. @rnabioco @BioFrontiers
