Really excited to have this paper out in Neuropsychopharmacology today! Short summary of our findings on the role of H2A.Z acetylation in memory is in the comments. Thanks to all coauthors, including @Gildastefy Brandon Walters @pjmurphy249 Dr. Firyal R @brimmmers nature.com/articles/s4138…

A true giant of Canadian cancer research, exemplary scientist and mentor and extraordinarily kind and lovely person. Dr. Connie Eaves RIP.

(1/12) Extremely happy and excited to share the first preprint of the Brain Tumor Translational Lab🧠: Single-nucleus and spatial landscape of the sub-ventricular zone in human glioblastoma biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations to Dr. Anand Swaroop for Friedenwald Award at ARVO 2024 ARVO and the amazing lecture on epigenome driven retinal disease bology!

This is an interesting idea: turning a cancer's drug resistance against it These are growth curves of tumours in mice, treated with a drug (a tyrosine kinase inhibitor). The tumours initially shrink but they all - slowly but surely - become resistant: This study aimed to convert

I’ve known President Biden for years. He’s a great man, and everything he does is guided by his love for his country. As President, he is a partner to Canadians — and a true friend. To President Biden and the First Lady: thank you.

It's amazing how cordial and kind a critic can be in a face-to-face private conversation (eg. offering feedback after a seminar when others are *not* watching), and how the language changes to almost performative insults, as soon as that same otherwise-kind person goes on twitter
