We *know* this happens, but to actually see it is an entirely different thing. Amazing!

Please RT 🙂 ! The Tsai lab starts WashUDevBio today! Interested in how cells integrate biochemical and mechanical signals to build patterns and fold tissues reproducibly in zebrafish? We are recruiting at all levels! #zebrafish #development #biophysics sites.wustl.edu/tsailab/

NYC’s Street Trees "For the first time, you have access to information about every street tree in New York City" 🤩😍 tree-map.nycgovparks.org/tree-map

TODAY IS THE DAY! I’m unbelievably excited to announce that today I start leading a group Caltech to apply synthetic biology circuits for human therapies w/ ElowitzLab. And we are hiring. phf.tbe.taleo.net/phf03/ats/care…

So thrilled to share our #CryoEM structure of the 56-subunit human #Mediator bound #Transcription PIC. Led by fearless @RyanAbdella and Anna Talyzina in a wonderful collaboration with the Tjian + Darzacq Group group. science.sciencemag.org/content/early/…

How can we design protein-level circuits in cells by programming proteins and their interactions? ElowitzLab and I attempt to establish design principles, highlight past work, and suggest future directions in this review: authors.elsevier.com/a/1cue7L7PXezoe

📢We are hiring! We’re looking for postdocs who are excited about uncovering mysteries of development using cutting edge spatial methods, including imaging based barcoding and spatial transcriptomics. If this is you, please reach out! [email protected]

How does one (signaling) arm know what the other is doing in the cell? Through a network of bHLH transcription factors obviously! Our work showing how neural stem cells integrate signals to coordinate a fate response is now out: cell.com/cell-reports/f…

In developing embryos, cells move a lot! Plenty of that movement is random. Is random cell mixing a feature or bug for tissue patterning? Turns out it’s both! Excited to share the 1st preprint from my postdoc w/ Sean Megason Sean McGeary Allon Klein Lab 1/20 doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

Can we use RNA to insert kilobases of DNA into the human genome, opening up a new way to engineer cells or treat disease? Excited to share our latest work turning a retrotransposon (a “jumping gene” with an RNA intermediate) from songbirds into a genome editing tool. 🧵 (1/7)
