While everyone’s focused on COVID, I’ve spent the past few years thinking about a completely different virus – Hepatitis B. I’m extremely proud to share this preprint from a project we started when I was just a baby grad student in @David_Lab_MSK, a 🧵 (1/n)

Thank you, Debyani for the kinds words. It’s truly been my pleasure to work with you and it’s always fun to engage with the SEP students!

So excited to share that my thesis work is out now at Molecular Cell! Karen AdelmanLab and I show that U1 snRNP increases RNA Pol II elongation rate within AT-rich introns, thereby reducing the likelihood of Pol II termination or arrest. Highlights below! authors.elsevier.com/c/1gobY3vVUPNx…

Had an amazing evening with the '19-'22 Gilliam Fellows! This was the first time that they were back at HHMI since BC, and the energy was off the charts. The future of STEMM is bright. Let's provide opportunities, support, quality-mentoring and guidance for our ECSs. HHMI

advice from grad school that I still use as an asst. prof. is to schedule my tasks based on my energy & self-awareness, not some idealized schedule e.g. noticing what types of tasks I do best at what points in the day (energy) & what works best for my needs & goals (self-aware)

So excited to announce that my most recent work has been published. If you’re interested in genetically encoding circular mRNA, or packaging circular mRNA into virus-like particles for cell-type specific delivery, this paper is for you!
