Terrific story by one of the best, Anne Saker: skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-reso…

The teaching bond is one of humanity's most enduring and consequential relationships. It connects us with each other and across generations. Seeing its many expressions in science has made my job especially gratifying.

Stay tuned for a more comprehensive Fred Hutch News story about this study and how researchers from our Basic Sciences and Human Biology divisions are leveraging tools and methods developed at the Hutch to make precision oncology more, well, precise.

Out in Science 🧬! Using FFPE-CUTAC to profile RNAPII, we discovered that histone gene hypertranscription predicts rapid cancer recurrence and is linked to chromosome losses in meningioma and breast cancer. One more step to unraveling cancer progression! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

The shock waves from the Trump administration's assault on the world of science will reverberate for years go come. Progress is being thwarted. Cures are further out of reach. statnews.com/2025/02/14/tru…

Two essential CDC training programs—the Public Health Associate Program (PHAP) and Laboratory Leadership Service (LLS)—are reportedly being dismantled. Our ability to detect and contain health threats including H5N1 is already strained. This not the way to make America

"This all began with a phone call,” Henikoff said. “It’s the kind of thing that’s perfect for Fred Hutch. We are integrated. We know one another. It’s like one family.”

🧬 Researchers at Fred Hutch Cancer Center have uncovered an overlooked mechanism driving aggressive breast and brain tumors. Learn more about the 64 ancestral genes investigated by the Henikoff lab: bit.ly/3XIke4Y Science Magazine abstract: bit.ly/4iGJAbtResearc…

US government funding has brought cancer science to the point where new discoveries are accelerating & the stage was set for major gains over the coming decade. But deep & puzzling cuts instigated by the new administration are throwing all that into doubt, Angus Rohan Chen reports.

10,000 employees of #HHS & its agencies — #CDC, #FDA, #NIH, etc — are losing their jobs. STAT wants to give the public a closer look at what is being cut & what might be lost as a result. If you're one of these workers, please tell us: statnews.com/2025/03/27/hhs…

We as a scientific community need to be more intentional than ever in supporting, mentoring, and being available to help scientists from disadvantaged backgrounds. I urge everyone to think deeply about what they can do. For example… 🧵

Last Saturday, at the park I once (miserably) ran around in 7th grade PE, I stood on a picnic table to stoke the patriotic spirit of 3,000 of my neighbors — and it was a thrill I’ll never forget. I had just flown home the night before from Istanbul, where a grassroots upwelling

I was there and he was terrific!

Honored to see our work highlighted by Fred Hutch Cancer Center and Hutch Basic Sciences. In this study, We mapped the binding and regulatory targets of nearly all yeast transcription factors and found that the classic model often doesn’t hold. Check out the paper here nature.com/articles/s4158…

Honored to work with and write about such smart people 🤓 !

🧬 Surprising findings from the Hahn Lab at Fred Hutch Cancer Center! Dr. Lakshmi Mahendrawada’s new study shows yeast transcription factors have far less binding overlap than expected—challenging assumptions in #GeneRegulation. 📰 bit.ly/4ipY9Qg 📖 nature: go.nature.com/42zR1wd
