PostDoc studying structure and function of novel argonauts @DCSwarts lab in @wur 🇳🇱 PhD Biochem @Jackson_Lab_USU at @USUAggies BSc Biochem from @byuidaho
Cool postdoc opportunity in the Ke lab!
My lab has postdoc openings in the following areas: 1) Structural biology and single molecule biophysics; 2) Developing novel genome editing methods; and 3) Protein and RNA engineering. Please share the info with your trainees, and RT please. 🙏 postdocs.yale.edu/yale-postdocto…
Awesome story!
Today in @ScienceMagazine we report the development of a laboratory-evolved CRISPR-associated transposase (evoCAST) that supports therapeutically relevant levels of RNA-programmable gene insertion in human cells, a collaboration with @SternbergLab. 1/13 drive.google.com/file/d/1I-UbCR…

Novel I'm reading describes 38 yo research professor at Standford as old, washed-up, about to be kicked to the curb, etc. Pretty sure this would be about when they get tenure, not the end of their career... #academia
This should worry anyone who wants America to be "great". American research dominance was already losing ground, and this move will accelerate that decline.
In an unprecedented move, research-grant reviews have been suspended indefinitely at the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research go.nature.com/4gclXG0
What a moment! My dissertation is finally finished 🥳 digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd2023/383/
A great example of the pros and cons of structure predictions. What it's for and not for.
Our experience with #alphafold3 🤖 (code recently released) and some of our most recent #cryoEM 🔬 structures (thread below) nature.com/articles/s4158… nature.com/articles/s4146…
A great read and helpful explanation. I wonder how robust statistics education is for researchers (ie. MSc or PhD).
This paper highlights how error bars are often misunderstood, especially regarding statistical significance. Let's explore the key points to clarify these misconceptions. #Statistics #DataScience #Research #OpenScience nature.com/articles/nmeth…
This is a great 🧵🔥! I especially like the advice about including timestamps to know how long things really take. Many long nights I would have appreciated this advice 😭
🧪 What I wish I'd known about lab notebooks in year 1: A thread about what has actually worked for me (learned the hard way...) 🧵
Interesting read. It makes one reevaluate the priority of skills to learn while training for a scientific career. Worth the read for new researchers. @ThePhDPlace
I can finally share what I've been working on for the past 6 months! An article series covering a survey of more than 1,100 'hirers' in science about how they recruit and what skills they value. First out: Getting hired in science in six key charts nature.com/articles/d4158…
Successfully defended my dissertation today @USUAggies. Officially #PhDone 🎉! Thanks @Jackson_Lab_USU for all the awesome experiences.
Why do some people use the phrase "human research"? Are there other creatures using the scientific method that I don't know about?
