BREAKING: 2,500 grad workers & supporters walk away from $24K at the rally and march this morning. Our strike is LIVE!

Extremely honored to share that I have been awarded an U.S. National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. So grateful for everyone in my life who helped me achieve this-- my family and friends; my mentors at Berkeley, Scribe Therapeutics, and UCLA; and, of course, my advisor Steve Jacobsen!

First time TAing, first time getting an evaluation for it... this is really nice!

Amanda Seyfried shares her thoughts on a potential WGA strike: “Everything changed with streaming, and everyone should be compensated for their work. It’s f-cking easy.”

In an unconscionable move by the UC, University of California Police arrested 3 workers on felony charges and confiscated their possessions for writing messages in chalk and washable paint calling on UC to stop underpaying workers.🧵

Major escalation here at UC San Diego : campus police ARRESTED 3 grad students on FELONY charges for writing on the sidewalk in chalk asking them to honor their side of the negotiations. Things are getting a little terrifying here - what's next?

It’s your colleagues first day starting a PhD. What piece of advice are you giving them?

🚨 Today, we’re thrilled to share our study expanding the gene editing toolbox to enable virtually any kind of edit in gene transcripts at the order of thousands of bases. A thread 🧵👇(1/n) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Ever wonder how heterochromatic proteins can accumulate in such a specific manner? I am very proud to share our work describing how MBD6 utilizes specific chaperones to both drive and regulate accumulation at meCG sites to silence genes and TEs.

So excited to share my colleague Brandon Boone 's work, hot off the presses! Very exciting work by him, Lucia Ichino and others in the Steve Jacobsen lab. Congrats to the authors!

This is what UMAP does to your data.

LOL I’m sorry but the GOP is absolutely furious that Biden isn’t in the race anymore.

A huge challenge in plant genome-editing is the cargo size restrictions in viral delivery. In this paper, Trevor Weiss and our team achieve heritable edits using transgene-free viral editing in Arabidopsis using the TnpB ISYmu1.

Kamala needs to campaign not on "threat to democracy" chatter – which undecided voters tune out – but actually provide a future-oriented vision for the country that offers voters a clear picture of what America will be like if she wins, that goes beyond "still a democracy." 2/
