@status_is_down Correct again

Xbox Live is reportedly down for hundreds of gamers right now. Are you one of them? #Xbox #XBoxLive #XboxDown community.designtaxi.com/topic/27920-is…

Ever wonder why histone chaperones have acidic tails? Our new preprint reveals they mimic DNA to regulate chromatin! Glutamate-glutamylation enhances their mimicry. Dive in: doi.org/gsrvkj lead by @B_Lorton23 Chris Warren @HumairaIlyas8 #biorxiv 1/7

From Disorder to Dynamo: Glutamylation's Role in Supercharging Histone Chaperones I am thrilled to share our latest and groundbreaking work on histone chaperone glutamylation. Find our preprint here biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thank you @DShechter and others for your contributions!

I need something that rhymes with daily

this illusion broke my brain 🤯

I am doc, post doc 😎

@pknoepfler @adamfeuerstein Nice article, thank you!

2 dozen cell therapy & stem cell stocks I’m following as a stem cell scientist, non-investor ipscell.com/2021/02/24-cel… Striking COVID bump for some. Bad news for others recently. Complicated sphere of #stemcell biotechs @adamfeuerstein

@chrstn_e Brilliant!

Nucleolar RNA Pol II!

Story about the 5 year journey to a new preprint from our lab: Transcriptomic and proteomic regulation through abundant, dynamic, and independent arginine methylation by Type I and Type II PRMTs biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (Only a few of the contributors are on twitter) /1

Come work with us on the biochemistry and enzymology (and/or biology) of Protein Arginine Methyltransferases. Major cancer relevance, basic studies. Phase separation? Who knows... #PRMTs #postdoc #sciencejob jobrxiv.org/job/albert-ein… DM me or email in ad

@DShechter Absolutely nuts!

Ugg. My student is writing an invited book chapter - Elseivier wants us to use their "Elsa" publishing platform. You have to write everything on their proprietary interface. That's insane, a free grab of ongoing academic work. I told them absolutely not.

Feelin froggy!

Grad students, here is an outline of how to give your first thesis committee meeting: 1-What is your question? 2-Why significant? 3-Overview of what is known and gaps in knowledge 4-Approach 5-Progress or challenges 6-Future plans Remember, it's a conversation not an exam!

This is how we die. instructive #dataviz @popsci by @schodosh data from @CDCgov
