it is rewarding to see how we can leverage the awesome power of yeast as a model system for meiosis, for the new purpose of evaluating meiotic toxins in the environment! what a great collaboration with Tracey Woodruff, PhD, MPH @ucsf_phre Allard Laboratory and the @ucsf_earth Center!

Yes, I am now one of those people posting about their score on this platform but... this score is probably never going to happen again in my career! Qi Chen and I are incredibly thankful to the reviewers for being as excited about our arsenic x epigenetic work as we are!

We're happy to announce the list of invited speakers for our 2025 Epigenetic Inheritance Symposium in Zurich, Switzerland. A great chance to hear the latest research in the field of epigenetic inheritance. For initial details:mansuylab.ch/epigeneticinhe… #EIS25 #savethedate #Symposium

Looking forward to all the talks from the Epigenetics Summer School at the InstituteHumGenetics, including from EPIC_Unit@pasteur, Maxim Greenberg, Mitinori Saitou, and many others. event.fourwaves.com/igh-summer-sch…

I am incredibly saddened to hear about Barbara Hales' passing. She was a powerhouse in the fields of Toxicology and Teratology and a kind and generous informal mentor to me during my years at McGill. She will be sorely missed. Please consider donating to the fund created in her

A fantastic pre-print from Needhi Bhalla 💅🏽 and co-authors that clarifies the function of the evolutionary conserved PCH-2. PCH-2 is a multi-function master regulator of meiotic progression that monitors and coordinates recombination with synapsis. Beautiful work!
