The unprecedented cuts that have taken place to research will cripple science in America. This affects ALL Americans, risking our collective health, safety, and national security. Please reach out to your local gov. Representatives and stress the importance of STEM in the USA!!

Argonaute proteins regulate the timing of the spermatogenic transcriptional program
Argonaute proteins are best known for their role in microRNA-mediated post-transcriptional gene silencing. Here, we show that AGO3 and AGO4, but not AGO2, localize to the sex chromatin of pachytene sp...

Woohoo, we are live! Check out our manuscript describing our discovery of PRR12 and its role in cohesin regulation: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kMQf5Sx5g.... I am excited for my lab to follow up on this work and uncover the mechanisms by which PRR12 (& other regulators) contribute to genomic integrity!

A thread on NIH Reorganization and the Scientific Management Review Board (SMRB)

Disclosure: I was involved with the SMRB since its inception and have very strong feelings about how it was used, misused, and abandoned. My passion on these issues will undoubtably show through.

Just swam over to Bluesky and decided to dip my fin in the water. I am a Postdoc in the Weinstein lab and currently on the faculty job market. I developed an injury system to study cutaneous wound healing in adult zebrafish. Check out my movie showing neutrophil recruitment after injury.

I definitely stole a version of this phrase from @iaincheeseman.bsky.social. Very glad to see the chain is continuing (and improving) through @jayeperview.bsky.social's paraphrase

For whoever needs to hear it:
"If you get the award or not, you are WORTHY and DESERVING"
I will cheer you on relentlessly!! Be careful before I start texting you motivational memes lol

If you get the award or not, you are WORTHY and DESERVING (wise paraphrased words from @karalmckinley.bsky.social that I took to heart)
