My thoughts on the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

It’s an honor & privilege to don my white coat as I begin my MD-PhD training. In the last 60 YEARS, only ~200 black men have pursued & finished a MD-PhD. Knowing I will join their ranks one day is a blessing & I’m so thankful to God & my Village that got me here! 👌🏾👨🏾‍⚕️🩺

Year 2 started Monday 🥲

YES YES YES CONGRATS!!🥳🥳

Thanks!!!

Super excited to be a part of The Mir Lab and the journey ahead! 🥳

Yesterday, JCI insight pubbed our study examining MD-PhD program acceptance & how it varies by demographics & research experience. 1st-gen, Black or reapplying applicants were less likely to be accepted, regardless of research experience & publications. insight.jci.org/articles/view/…

🥲 so proud of you! Oh what one conversation can do!

Checkout our new paper🤩

APSA's recent JCI insight publication shows MD-PhD acceptance correlates with research experience/publications, yet first-gen, Black, and re-applicants were less likely to be accepted regardless of research background. insight.jci.org/articles/view/… #DoubleDocs #MedTwitter

Best valentines EVER

Excited to share our new opinion article (sciencedirect.com/science/articl…) on how "Dynamic microenvironments shape nuclear organization & gene expression" published in the Current Opinion in Genetics & Development co-authored by twitterless Matthew Fischer & Mustafa [email protected]! A thread [1/7]

1/n) Excited to share our new preprint: Using high-res live embryo imaging we show that transcription factor hubs are localized to new genes when specific DNA binding is perturbed. Hub interaction kinetics at these new sites determine factor occupancy: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
