Really fun collaboration with @zamore_lab, @IGainetdinov and Zsolt Venkei. Very much my cup of tea type story (how biology finds a way to solve a problem).
Hot off the press from @zamore_lab in collaboration with @yamashitaflylab: A maternally programmed intergenerational mechanism enables male offspring to make piRNAs from Y-linked precursor RNAs in Drosophila @NatureCellBio .

Super proud 🥹 of Maiko. I love the feeling of going into unknown with an excited, young, brilliant mind.
Maiko Kitaoka, who is a postdoc in the @yamashitaflylab, is one of 25 scientists this year to receive the prestigious Hanna H. Gray Fellowship. Congratulations, Maiko!. Learn more:

Yaaay!!! I’m sooo excited for you. Just imagining how you’re feeling about your own new lab makes me feel younger 🤩 looking forward to seeing what you discover.
Today the Nelson Lab opens at @stonybrooku! I'm very excited to start this adventure and looking forward to building an amazing team. Learn more about the lab and opportunities to join at

Congrats Ildar! the most important criteria in deciding PhD/postdoc advisor is how excited the PI is about the science they do. And Ildar fits that bill!!.
I am honored and excited to be joining the Department of Biology at NYU this fall. We will be studying the role of RNA metabolism in development and disease. Grateful to @zamore_lab and @yamashitaflylab for advice and support. Looking for postdocs.

It was so much fun talking about the process of science — human part of it — with Martin and Itai. Thank you for having me.
New Night Science Podcast episode! We talked with MIT's Yukiko Yamashita about her creative process, which she likens to solving 100s of jigsaw puzzles all dumped together. @yamashitaflylab @MartinJLercher @ItaiYanai @WhiteheadInst @MITBiology @HHMINEWS.

This book manages to teach you how to bridge your heart and research subject in a very practical way. If you became a researcher, to find 'something important in your life', but you feel your current research subject isn't 'it', this book will be a great guide.

What do a historian and a biologist have in common? Actually, the 'heart to do research' is just the same. The research is a journey to find yourself, and it is true irrespective of research subject/area.
