Join us for a Mechanobiology and Mechanomedicine Summit next week ! mechanobiology.northeastern.edu/conference/

Check out our new preprint! Much of the RNA modification work to-date uses immortalized cells but how does immortalization actually impact RNA modification landscapes? Let’s dive in! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

BioRxiv is the most important thing that happened in science publishing

1/6 🧬New paper at @CellSytemsCP led by Sasha Fanari! What if the “fifth nucleotide,” pseudouridine (Ψ), in mRNA dynamically responds to cell state? We used nanopore direct RNA sequencing + Mod‑pID to map Ψ in a neuron‑like SH‑SY5Y line under “normal” and “perturbed” conditions

There are so many weird Biology quirks that I somehow missed before and am only just finding now... Apparently translation can and *does* initiate from EVERY codon With the caveat that any codon other than the canonical AUG / GUG / UUG options induce transcription at such

🚨We have a 4-year European Research Council (ERC)-funded PhD position available in the beautiful city of Leuven, Belgium, for building artificial nanomachines in lipid membranes. Check out the details and apply here: kuleuven.be/personeel/jobs… Feel free to email me for more information!

Wow! Question: who are the John Does 1-50? Other smaller publishers?

Boston Celtics Fire Mazzula. Dude sucks.

Boston Celtics Fire Mazzulla RIGHT NOW!!!

Boston Celtics Once again, you owe every Celtics fan in that building a refund.

Just published! Even NASA cleanrooms—designed to be ultra-clean—harbor resilient, novel bacteria. 26 new species were found, some forming biofilms, resisting radiation, and producing biotech-relevant compounds. Check it here: microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

At 15, I left all my family and friends and came to the US , ALONE, seeking a country where MERIT and HARD WORK mattered-not politics. For 30 years, I worked tirelessly, even doing reseach at MIT the day my mother died, knowing she’d want me to keep pushing forward. Today, my

Excited to attend the cecam conference on nanopores in Cagliari.

Love my colleagues, always fun to catch up! cecam nanopore meeting

Enjoyed a good dinner at Luigi Pomata in Cagliari, Sardinia.

The NIH notified me yesterday that there is currently no policy that supports applying for a R00 that is associated with a terminated K99. So now, both the postdoc K99 (Harvard, $250k) and the R00 (non-Harvard institution TBD, $750) are BOTH effectively terminated.

It's just a drink cees dekker - also at @ceesdekker.bsky.social.

The current attack of the US government is devastating. The internationals in my lab are asking can I come to work today ? I told them NO because I’m afraid government officials will come to arrest them - those are LEGAL international scientists that just lost their visas due to

🎉 Our new paper on live, intracellular #ClickChemistry just posted in Nature Communications! Huge shoutout to lead author Keqing Nian for all of the hard work 🙌🏼 Check it out 👉🏼 rdcu.be/enfHz

I wrote an Op-Ed about the government's attacks on Harvard. Please share with anybody who thinks these attacks help anybody. prosyn.org/PhWi74r?h=KyJ1…
