New preprint: In a fun collaboration with the Sternberg Lab, we reveal the evolutionary origin of eukaryotic RNA-guided RNA modification (Nop5 and Prp31) in recently characterized bacterial IS110-family transposons. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Sad. Even coming from an R1 U, some folk will always be looking over your shoulder for someone more important. But please keep going! With an interesting talk or poster, the people who really care about your topic will still be eager to talk to you.

congrats Amer - well deserved!

The perfect is indeed the enemy of the good. But a thesis should be good! It will be publicly available, even if it takes some work to find it, and it should be a document you can be proud of.

We are #hiring a research technician in structural to support our ongoing efforts in the lab. Please share! #cryoEM #sciencejobs Apply here: jobrxiv.org/job/the-johns-…

🎙️JOB ANNOUNCEMENT: Dept of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at Penn State is recruiting multiple assistant professors in the broad area of microbiology, including bacteriology, mycology, parasitology, & virology. Come join the microbiome jubilee! psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/PSU_Acad…

For PhD students from underrepresented backgrounds, consider signing up to connect with the communities here at Chicago in October. …cagolanddiversepostdocrecruitment.org

🔈Our last paper on DNA elasticity and A-tracts has just appeared in Nanoscale: doi.org/10.1039/D4NR02…. Simulations and analysis done by Tania Gardasevic during her masters and Physics of Life summer studentship (so talented!🤯)

We are hiring! Position open for a new assistant professor in the Department of Biophysics & Biophysical Chemistry in Johns Hopkins Medicine . Considering all areas in experimental and computational biophysics. Please spread the word. apply.interfolio.com/154014

South Side Science Festival coming soon!

THREE assistant professor positions in microbiology at Yale! (3/3) Microbe-Immune Interaction - Microbial Sciences Institute in partnership with Yale Department of Immunobiology apply.interfolio.com/152022, deadline 11/1/24 Please RT and apply!

The ever amazing Artyom Egorov in our group has made a new visualisation tool for comparative genomics. Makes particularly beautiful images of phages, plasmids, other MGEs or regions of prokaryotic genomes 😍 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

"All these grants" for under-represented trainees can become an unfair tax. Why are some trainees pressured to spend much more time than others on applications? Writing 1 proposal is educational even if rejected. Writing 4 failed ones is a demoralizing waste of time.

Wow. Congrats Saurja!

An experimental census of retrons, now published in Nature Biotechnology. We synthesized more than a hundred new retrons and put them through their paces, improved recombineering rates and precise editing in human cells up to 40%. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Do you think that doing science costs the same anywhere around the world? The answer is NO! and as illogical as it may sound, it costs more to do science in low-resourced countries than in high income countries. A couple of examples from my own experience as a PI in Mexico (1/🧵)

The Departments of Biological Sciences and Physics & Astronomy are recruiting faculty in the area of Molecular and Cellular Biophysics. Single-molecule and advanced microscopy approaches encouraged. Please RT, share with potential candidates, and post in your departments!

open positions listed here: shorturl.at/inrV5 Interested postdoctoral candidates can DM me on X or email: [email protected] with a current C.V.

Reminder! We are hiring across all areas of biophysics. Fantastic community and range of science in the dept, from all flavors of nucleic acids, bacterial cell division, through GPCRs & ion channels!

Time for a positive random observation: when I see the migrant families who are staying in the shelter near my place, the adults are usually paying more attention to their kids than to their phones.
