My official stance this year is that no one should fool anyone on April Fools. The universe has already been messing with us all year.

This was really fun too because I get to make illustrations sometimes.

A blend of my two favorite systems... telomeres + transposons. Congratulations all! 🥳

International Women’s Day was yesterday, but I think we shouldn’t limit ourselves to one day per year to celebrate women. In these troubled times with fascism on the rise almost everywhere, I’d like to celebrate Danuta Danielsson, also known as “The Woman […] [Original post on fediscience.org]

Did you know that two jumping sequences (LINE-1 and Alu) make up nearly 30% of our genomes? Ever wonder how they jump into new genomic sites? We have some exciting discoveries to share new in @science.org on the structural mechanisms of LINE-1 retrotransposition (aka jumping 🧬➡️🧬) 🧪 #ScienceResearch

I'm looking to buy vertical electrophoresis tanks. The ones that were used for old school sequencing gels. I really liked the ones made by Cambridge Electrophoresis, but they either don't make them anymore or don't ship to the USA. Any leads? www.electrophoresis.co.uk/EV400%20&%20... #biochemistry

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

After many years at @mrclmb.bsky.social, I've moved back home to start my own lab at @princetonmolbio.bsky.social. I'm so thankful to my mentors, especially Kelly Nguyen and Don Rio! We have some exciting results on LINE-1 in the works and are recruiting. Find out more: ghanim.lab.princeton.edu

The microscope comparison datasets (Glacios vs. Krios, EF vs. no EF) from our high-resolution/high-throughput #cryoEM SBDD workflow project (the one with more than a dozen ligand-bound 2 Å structures of an 85 kDa complex) have been released on EMPIAR: www.ebi.ac.uk/empiar/EMPIA...

If you’re interested in how molecular motors coordinate to power intracellular trafficking events (e.g. endocytosis), I’ve got a PhD position available to study this at vibrant Bristol uni. In this project, we will capture highly dynamic events by #cryoEM, single molecule imaging & cell biology. 🔬❄️🧪

One of the most ancient sequences in biology, the peptidyl transferase center of the ribosome, is not as conserved as we might have thought. #RNA #Ribosomes www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
