🧬🎉 Our new chromatin remodeling study is out: We reveal three states of human CHD1 and identify a novel "anchor element" that interacts with the acidic patch—conserved among remodelers. Our structures clarify mechanisms of remodeler recruitment! Link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1l2ik…

The U.S. National Institutes of Health’s recent decision to impose a 15% cap on facilities and administrative cost reimbursements is misguided and damaging, argue the authors of a new #SciencePolicyForum. scim.ag/41L2C9P

Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's a dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n
Sarah Hainer retweeted
BioRxiv is the most important thing that happened in science publishing
Today marks the beginning of OpenRxiv, which replaces bioRxiv and medRxiv, the world's largest preprint platform for life and medical science @openrxiv

On Valentine’s day, 15 Assistant Professors at NIH who had started their research labs in the last 2 years were fired. Their scientific expertise was built over 10-12 years of training, most if not all of which was supported by NIH. The start up funds for their laboratories were

1. I feel like this is such obvious advice that it's taken for granted & so no one says this to young scientists but READ PAPERS, read all the papers. As you move up in your career you'll have a lot less time to do this. Read everything that appeals to you not just in your field

In our SETD2 paper, we visualize a novel nucleosome transfer intermediate during txn. It is the earliest intermediate visualized yet. In the intermediate, the histone chaperone FACT coordinates histone binding with a previously uncharacterized RTF1 helix: tinyurl.com/setd2

Wrapping up #ABRCMS2024 with gratitude for many firsts including an oral presentation and for the community but watching your mentee receive a presentation award tops it all!!
Shoutout to @MTLeeLab and @HainerLab for the Promoting PEERS program that makes this all happen!!

Congrats to the around 850 #ABRCMS2024 Student Travel Award winners! ✈️ 🏆
All these students presented at ABRCMS for the first time this year, which is a huge achievement. We hope each and every one will be back again next year.

Some great grant news means my lab is hiring at the postdoc level for multiple positions! If you are broadly interested in cancer metabolism, check out our projects: airdlab.com.

I would like to see more speaker introductions leading with what a speaker discovered during their training rather than who they trained with.

Our new @CurrentBiology paper provides a rare glimpse into a morphological novelty in Drosophila eugracilis
In it, @gavinrrice and colleagues, infer and reproduce the likely initial steps of a novelty's formation

I’m excited to share the first preprint out of the Altemose Lab! This stems from a heroic effort by Dr. Matt Franklin @matt_franklin_ (who's on the job market!), who made surprising discoveries regarding some of the most mysterious regions of the genome. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
