1/ H3K27me3 mimicry has repeatedly emerged through evolution, but what's the physiological relevance? We show that JARID2 and PALI1 mimic H3K27me3 to antagonise PRC2 in vivo and restrict the spread of Polycomb domains. 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Planned to spend the day celebrating diversity at Pride in one of the best cities in the world — instead, I’m back to prepping the emergency stockpile once again.

Another trip with the emergency bag. Praying for safety 🙏

We are assessing the damage and cleaning up, but the most important thing is that we are safe. 🙏

The Iranian regime is the enemy of humanity. Here, at the Weizmann Institute of Science, for almost 100 years the world’s leading medical researchers and experts have worked on advancing life sciences, contributing greatly to all humanity. This is just one place the Iranian

Summary of the messages I sent to family and friends abroad this week.

A prosperous future is intertwined with science and innovation. And right now, our science needs rebuilding. Help us restore the heart of discovery. Support the Weizmann Institute of Science. DONATE NOW >>

“Do you guys have any labs left?” Tragicomic new security question.

I'm so happy to see our new paper out Nature Communications. Check it out! We found nucleosome dynamics linked to local #chromatin transitions. nature.com/articles/s4146…

I am very grateful to be back at work after over three weeks away due to unforeseen circumstances🙃

It’s always a bit awkward to write about personal experiences. I tried to touch on what Pride means to me and ended up reflecting on heteronormativity, passing, and allyship. Thank you Nature Cell Biology and Stelios for the opportunity! reNEW #LGBTQIA nature.com/articles/s4155…

Opportunity: Independent Fellowship in Plant-Associated Microbial Interactions at JIC. jic.ac.uk/vacancies/inde…

🚨New preprint from our labs (STOP lab & Nojima lab Taka Nojima)! Magda Kopczynska @mgkopczynska.bsky.social and Chihiro Nakayama have been digging into how chromatin remodeller SETD2 controls the start and end of transcription 👇 (1/5) biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Day 1: Test run ✔️ Day 2: Real deal ❌ Day 3: Test run again ✔️ Science is a vibe 😅

Stop the count 🐐 #TDF2025
