THREE YEARS away from social media, so there is a TON to pack into this tweet! From my name change, university change, and exciting new opportunities ahead. Please allow me to introduce myself! 🧵🌷

Democrats should seize on the Hunter Biden gun charges to pass universal background checks... call it Hunter's Law and then force Republicans to vote against it.

Evolution offered at least 3 different solutions to the problem of dosage compensation: inactivating one X in XX females, upregulating the single X by ~2 fold in XY males , and downregulating both Xes by ~2 fold in XX hermaphrodites

Writing advice: the Introduction of your research paper should discuss previous work broadly. Keep in mind that your research only exists in the context of all the work that came before. Basically assume the reader just fell out of a coconut tree

A reminder ( it’s an evergreen topic) - humans are a genetically undiverse species - we exploded out Africa in a heartbeat of evolutionary time and we predominantly adapted to the multitude of environments by our behaviour, passing that knowledge down culturally in groups

The new class of HHMI investigators average 3.9 papers as corresponding author in Cell, Nature, or Science. 26 out of 26 members of this group previously trained with a PI who is in the National Academy of Sciences or who was an HHMI investigator themselves.
