🚨BREAKING: 2,200 graduate student workers at VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY in Nashville are unionizing with UAW Vanderbilt Graduate Workers United (VGWU).

In my latest for Tennessee Lookout || tnlookout.bsky.social, Vanderbilt graduate workers are pushing to unionize with UAW. tennesseelookout.com/2024/10/10/van…

Congratulations on your completion of a PhD at our university - you are now a valued member of our academic family. Your email and library access will terminate in 11 minutes.

The Vindigni, Krais and priyanka verma labs had an amazing time walking the STL Ovarian Cancer 5k this weekend! It was inspiring to connect with the community we hope to serve with our science 💪🏃‍♂️Siteman Cancer Center Center for Genome Integrity WashU Medicine Division of Oncology WashU Medicine

Assistant and Associate Professor positions available at UPENN's Basser Center for BRCA . Great opportunity to be part of an amazing scientific environment. Assistant Level:  apply.interfolio.com/155257 Associate Level : apply.interfolio.com/155258

Two exciting opportunities for suitably qualified postgraduates/postdocs to join the Steve Jackson lab at the world renowned CRUK Cambridge Institute Cambridge University, jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/48675/ and jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/48762/. Come join us!

Join us in beautiful Ventura for the 2025 GRC meeting Mammalian DNA Repair: Fundamental Mechanisms to Human Biology grc.org/mammalian-dna-…… Great program, including keynotes from David Pellman and Maria Jasin. Many talks and poster slots still available. Apply soon!

Happy to see our collaborative paper with Cyrus Vaziri’s lab demonstrating that RNF168 is recruited to damaged replication forks via a degenerative PIP box and its MIU1 ubiquitin binding domain is finally out in Nucleic Acids Res : academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

Exciting meeting coming up in November! There is still time to sign up and present a poster.

Thread on why civics in school is necessary. When I was in high school, I took a civics class. The first day they had us say whether we were Republican or democrat. My parents (at the time) were Republican so I assumed I was too. Then, our teacher gave us a series of prompts (1)

Good luck!

That next day's sleep though 😊

In our latest preprint we analyzed how abasic (AP) sites affect DNA replication: - AP sites stall DNA synthesis ⛓️‍💥 - Leading APs stall replisomes but lagging APs don’t 🛑/✅ - TLS is crucial for bypass of both leading and lagging strand AP sites 🛠️🧬 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨Apparently all NIH Study Sections have been suspended indefinitely. For those who don’t know, this means there won’t be any review of grants submitted to NIH Depending on how long this goes on for, this could lead to an interruption in billions in research funding.

A bit late, but I successfully defended my thesis last month! Thank you to all the members of the Dewar Lab. I will be starting a postdoc in @NimaMLab soon. Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years 🧬🥳

🧬⛓️‍ Our latest preprint examines the fate of collapsed forks in vertebrates 🐸 and our colleagues in @heathmurraylab asked similar questions in bacteria 🦠 Together our studies indicate that the response to fork collapse is shaped by evolution (see🧵) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Just a typical group meeting

We’re #hiring, please share! A fully funded #postdoc position is available in my lab to work on DNA damage response mechanisms. Please get in touch with your CV if you are interested, closing date: 27th June 2025. More details here: candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationIni…
