Petition to add a section to theses called failed project graveyard where we can normalize failing over and over until one project finally sticks. #phdlife #AcademicChatter

Me when the cool prediction from my sequencing actually validates // me when it turns out it was just an artifact the whole time

BREAKING: Ke Huy Quan just won an #Oscar at the Academy Awards for best supporting actor for his role in 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' "Mom, I just won an Oscar!!" For those unaware Ke Huy Quan spent a year with his family in a Hong Kong refugee camp before arriving in

Congratulations to Whitehead Institute Member Yukiko Yamashita, who has been elected as a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences! Learn more about this prestigious recognition and Yukiko M. Yamashita's research: wi.mit.edu/news/whitehead…

🚨The Lehmann lab Ruth Lehmann Whitehead Institute is hiring a technician. Are you looking for research experience and interested in the immortal germline? Embark on a quest to discover germ cell transcriptional networks with awesome postdoc Sheri Grill! pls RT nematode.wi.mit.edu/careers/?f=vie…

Really impressive work from my colleagues at the Whitehead. Through detailed genetic analysis and rigorous validation, they found that a recently-evolved gene in Drosophila is actually not essential as previously thought.

When the paper is published and you can finally throw out 32 boxes of DNA Jonathan Nelson

New Night Science Podcast episode! We talked with MIT's Yukiko Yamashita about her creative process, which she likens to solving 100s of jigsaw puzzles all dumped together. nightscience.buzzsprout.com/1744020/131469… Yukiko M.

Two thirds of the human genome are comprised of repetitive elements. But what, exactly, is repetitive DNA, and how does it play a role in both health and disease? This cartoon explainer, part of our latest #WhiteheadStoryArc, has got it covered: wi.mit.edu/many-roles-rep…

Today the Nelson Lab opens at Stony Brook University! I'm very excited to start this adventure and looking forward to building an amazing team. Learn more about the lab and opportunities to join at nelsonflylab.org.

WE HAVE REACHED A FULL TENTATIVE AGREEMENT! Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) MOVED BECAUSE OF OUR STRIKE THREAT! UNION SECURITY, REAL RECOURSE, AND ECONOMIC IMPROVEMENTS WON!

🎉Congrats Sheri Sheri! 🙏 to @PNAS for their support in publishing negative data questioning the theory that new genes quickly gain essentality. HP6/Umbrea is dispensable for viability and fertility | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Could not recommend Jon more as a mentor and incredible scientist!

Congratulations Coffee! This is great 🎉

My lab's technician posting closes tomorrow. If have an interest in genetics, DNA repeats, germ cells, and how these relate to aging, there is still time to apply! Learn more at nelsonflylab.org

heard UMAP was popular on twitter, anyone have any advice on how to tighten up the clusters?

Colleagues who are PIs: what is the likelihood of you accepting a seminar invitation from trainees (versus a seminar invitation from a colleague)? Does it matter if it’s a junior or senior colleague? (This is for departmental seminars only not conference invites)

BREAKING: High school students from across Boston walk out of class to join the MIT student encampment in response to the increasing police repression. Eleven high schools, including private high school Boston Latin, have walked out to stand with Gaza.
