Kaitlyn Shen (@kaitlynmshen) in the Jain lab defends her thesis tomorrow!

I did a thing..

@DNAmyStrom Congrats Amy!!

I'm thrilled to announce my next career step-- I’m joining Genentech as a Principal Scientist & Lab Head in Discovery Oncology! I’ll be hunting new ways to target cancers using my background in disordered nuclear proteins.

Congratulations to Rajan Jain for receiving the William Wikoff Smith Professorship in Cardiovascular Research!

Do you have an exciting chromatin/transcription story that you'd like to share with an enthusiastic audience? If so, you should apply to give a talk in the 2025 Fragile Nucleosome seminar series: forms.gle/fwMYPFDf4az31p… We're open to scientists at all stages of their careers!

@ngaboreden @MolecularCell Congrats!!

Go Blue!!

Let's do this! #NotGoingBack

@BethBGenetics 🤬

@AKarnay Update my second ballot was officially marked undeliverable and I booked that flight to Philly 🙃

Signs the US voting system is broken: I applied for my mail-in ballot over a month ago, it hasn’t arrived, and to get any updated info, I joined a phone queue with 73 PEOPLE ahead of me in line. This doesn’t need to be this difficult!!

Congrats @BethBGenetics for successfully defending your PhD!! And an equal congrats to the Broad Institute for having this extraordinarily talented scientist and wonderful human being as a member of their community. Take Boston by storm Beth!

@NoaErlitzki @PennGenomeInteg @KohliLab @drsforamerica Congrats Noa!!

@PennGenomeInteg @KohliLab @drsforamerica Thank you!

We’re proud to share a member of the PCGI, Kohli Lab postdoc Dr. Noa Erlitzki, has been named a Doctors For America 2024/25 Copello Health Advocacy Fellow. Congrats, Noa! @KohliLab @NoaErlitzki @drsforamerica
