New preprint: Variable environments select for short lifespan bit.ly/315gT1n by Martin Lind Irja Ratikainen – theoretical model and experimental evolution agree. 5 different temperature regimes (mostly warming), 30 pops, 30 gens – fast temp cycles select for short lifespan.

Thank you Stephanie Kath-Schorr for your pledge and for tagging me in. While I fully support the good intentions of this pledge, I also strongly believe we need to do much more than chain tweets or showcasing the diversity of our labs. We need action because #BlackLivesMatter ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

Funding bodies/charities are more and more signing up to anti-bullying policies. Well, actions are louder than words! These types of reviews are a form of bullying that should not be allowed. VET YOUR REVIEWS before you send them on; pull and discount inappropriate ones.

Paper Alert! Our lab’s first paper is now out bioRxiv, led by the amazing NRPDTP student Aykut Shen. We show that U6 snRNA m6A modification by METT-10 is required for efficient and accurate cis- and trans-splicing of C. elegans mRNAs. 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
