A new #RNAsequencing library prep developed by UC Berkeley's Collins lab harnesses the unique activities of an enzyme to increase throughput & decrease bias in the preparation of cDNA libraries. #smallRNAs Briana Van Treeck reports: bit.ly/3yWPD5E

My first paper is finally published! In it we explore how homologous chromosomes pair up by looking at cells in live fly embryos and comparing their dynamics to simulated polymers. Fantastic collaboration with Jack Bateman Hernan Garcia Daniel Jost doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

I wrote an opinion piece in Physics Today on things we can do to improve biophysics education at the graduate level with fellow Berkeley Physics grads Micah Brush and QinQin Yu (@qinqinyu.bsky.social)! Thoughts and discussion super welcome

I'm excited that my first, first-author paper is out on bioRxiv! Here, we combined quantitative live-imaging and thermodynamic modeling to study transcriptional repression in fly embryos. Cheers to all co-authors and my advisor Hernan Garcia !

First week on my new job post-PhD, and I'm realizing how nice the small things are. Realizing now that having to worry about e.g. bringing lunch from home in grad school added small amounts of logistical stress to my daily routine!

The first preprint from my thesis work in the Patel Lab Patel Lab is out! We generated new functional genomic resources for our favorite emerging model crustacean, Parhyale hawaiensis, using a timecourse of Omni-ATAC-Seq and RNA-Seq. Thread below👇 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

For folks in the Bay Area, come check out a free public science talk I'll be giving next Monday evening in Novato! wonderfest.org/blueprints-of-…

A great slide from Ron Vale's talk at today's CZ Biohub 5-year anniversary symposium #5YearsofCZBiohub

Excited to announce our new preprint, “Dynamic spreading of chromatin-mediated gene silencing and reactivation between neighboring genes in single cells,” with work led by brilliant graduate student Sarah Lensch! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… [1/n]

BREAKING: UC agrees to recognize SRU-UAW in its entirety! This historic victory was brought about by the tireless efforts of thousands of SRs who organized to win a union & a direct response to our massive Strike Authorization Vote. Now let’s win a strong contract for all SRs!

Come work at the CZ Biohub! We're hiring for a data scientist to work at the interface of computational biology and mass spectrometry. Lots of great opportunities for computational method development and collaboration with super great folks: apply.workable.com/czbiohub/j/743…

Congratulations to MCB’s newest Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network investigators! Hillel Adesnik, Yvette Fisher, Fletcher Lab, Hernan Garcia, Lin He, Dr. Liana Lareau, Nayak Lab, Dan Rokhsar, Alanna Schepartz, @gokul_upad Learn more: bit.ly/3GiPRYf

A huge step forward for open-source microscopy!

We're thrilled to announce our upcoming 10th annual Beyond Academia Conference February 24th-25th. Join us for two days of fabulous keynote speakers, panels, and workshops. Registration is now open at: hopin.com/events/beyond-… #PhDChat #STEM #HSS #Museum #PhD #beyondac22 #phdlife

Okay everyone, it's finally happening. One of the coolest things I'm a part of, one of the highlights of my year, one of the answers to the question "wait, why were you up so late last night"? That's right, it's the 2022 Beyond Academia conference! #beyondac22 🧵

proud to share a recent preprint on spatial transcriptomics we at Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network worked on in collaboration with Vizgen !

Read on to learn more about the spatial transcriptomics work we're doing at the Biohub!

Some scientific illustrations become memes*, some turn into cultural icons. It requires a combination of originality, aesthetic, simplicity and scientific accuracy. Here are some of them 🧵 1/n *memes in the original sense: units of cultural inheritance that replicate and evolve

So excited to share our recent work! It has been an absolute pleasure collaborating with Marco Hein @marcoyannic.bsky.social and all authors! Please see Marco’s fantastic tweetorial 🧵
