Excited to share our paper out online today! We labeled and tracked heritable non-genetic info transmitted from parents to their children. We found that starvation in ancestors leads to transgenerational phenotypes in naïve well-fed descendants, ... 1/9 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

We have a complete #Ychromosome 🎉 It was the last human chromosome left unsequenced, but now the #T2Tconsortium led by UCSC & @genome_gov has finished it, revealing 41 additional genes! This will aid research on fertility and, believe it or not, bacteria. news.ucsc.edu/2023/08/t2t-y-…
100+ members of the T2T consortium stand together in a field at UC Santa Cruz, with hands raised in celebration.

My grandmother, who raised me, grew up in a village in Trinidad. She had to stop going to school at 11 years old to raise her younger siblings. She only has an elementary level education. So it means more than words for her to see her granddaughter as a college professor ❤️🥹

Especially in light of the Supreme Court decision banning race-based admissions, think how you can improve accessibility & equity of grad school admissions at your institution for talented early scientists from all historically marginalized groups. doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2023.… 10/

What can you, your department, or your institution do? Here are suggestions for various levels of graduate program operations. Remember... *do not depend on grad student labor (esp. from underrepresented backgrounds) to fix problems w/ your program or admissions process* 9/

An incredible article, full of wisdom and important advice from the team @cientificolatin about the barriers that minority students face in grad school admissions! 🔥🔥🔥 so inspiring to see this published @CellCellPress 😮♥️

Out now in @CellCellPress! doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2023.… Historically marginalized student representation drastically drops from undergrad to grad school. Are underrepresented students unqualified? Or are grad school admissions unnecessarily confusing, costly, & gatekeeping? 1/🧵
