Excellent thread, including this gem: "just keep showing up. When things fail & the going gets tough, staying engaged in the work is already half the battle."
As 2021 comes to a close, I’ve had some time to reflect on my grad school experiences. Here are 10 nuggets of advice / lessons I’ve learned during PhD-land so far💡. A 🧵:

Very long-awaited, but we're very excited to share Candice Byers’ published work in @embojournal highlighting the impact genetic background has on differentiation bias in mouse embryonic stem cells! 🐁🧬 @jacksonlab @TuftsGSBS tinyurl.com/a6rwp4s9 (a 🧵)

The CC mice are an important resource for uncovering genetic conflict on a sex chromosome. Several of these strains show unequal copy numbers at the co-evolved X- & Y-linked ampliconic genes associated with sex ratio distortion. Read Beth Dumont's paper. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
