@DKThomp Loved the article, but one thing not mentioned was Baumol, which I think is quite relevant. Much more expensive to get outside help for child-care leads to more intensive parenting overall.

New newsletter: MODERN FATHERHOOD WOULD BE UNRECOGNIZABLE TO A 1950'S DAD Compared to their Boomer parents, childcare time among Millennial dads has more than doubled. Compared to their Silent Generation grandparents, it’s nearly quadrupled. You will be hard-pressed to find any part of day-to-day modern life that has changed more in the last half-century than the way today’s parents—and fathers, in particular—spend their time. The new American dad is more present and more exhausted—but also, more satisfied with life. What's behind this half-century transformation? Today's piece combines history, economic analysis, and gorgeous charts galore from @AzizSunderji

What happens when an assembly line runs too fast? Things break down, like the chocolate factory scene from “I Love Lucy” 🍫 Cells have assembly lines too, like ribosome biogenesis We show that cancer cells push this system to the breaking point (1/10) biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

It’s well known that inflammation increases cancer risk, but how? The answer: the epigenome "remembers" inflammation and primes stem cells for cancer. Here is our paper: nature.com/articles/s4158… And a special shoutout to the lead author @snaga13 A 🧵

What a fun surprise to find that our work has been featured in a @JCellBiol spotlight!! Many thanks to Carlotta Peselj and Nora Vögtle for the great write up!

New from my lab on bioRxiv - we found an existing drug that appears to be safe in humans that selectively kills chemotherapy-resistant cancer cells.

@SeanFennessey @TheBigPic The Mets are the definition of a sports horror movie...(and this Reds fans is very happy about that!)

Super cool work from a super cool scientist!

Excited to share my postdoc work, out on bioRxiv today! Histones package DNA into nucleosomes to form the building blocks of chromatin, but how modular and programmable is this system? 1/9

@NateSilver538 As someone who grew up in DC area and now lives here permanently, Washington cannot be that high - way too many transplants and many locals gave up fandom in the Snyder era. That ranking is way too biased based on what Jayden Daniels did last year.

Something we're testing out: NFL fan avidity ratings. What teams look way off? Basically, we're looking at what predicts home field advantage, above and beyond weather and travel distance (which can be accounted for separately).

Excited that our nucleolus mapping paper just came out today in Nature! Truly an amazing study from even more amazing due of @sofiquinodoz & @jiang_lifei w/ @LafontaineLab & Sebastian Klinge and other fantastic co-authors nature.com/articles/s4158…

@JerusalemDemsas @ezraklein @DKThomp On housing abundance. While NIMBYism is not the way to encourage growth in less populated places, is it really a worthwhile goal to encourage more super-city growth. Wouldn't it lead that to more resentment/polarization? Think of what happens in sports with "small markets".

I’m interviewing @ezraklein and @DKThomp tonight in DC about their new book and want to prod them on the best critiques you’ve seen. Thread them below! 🔥🔥🔥

@PodSaveAmerica Given Harris's over performance in the swing states compared to the overall country, why is there a focus on trans issues, since it seems from those swing state results that Trumps attack ads were not effective relative to Kamala's?

@BugajLab @NatureComms @David_GonzMar @LeeeRoth Congrats Lukasz, nice to see this fully published.

Thrilled that our work on the functional effects of EML4-ALK assemblies in cancer cells is now published in @NatureComms. Herculean effort through 2.5+ years of peer review by @David_GonzMar and @LeeeRoth. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our study decoding gastruloid symmetry breaking is now live @NatureCellBio! rdcu.be/dVMLG Thank you to the NCB edititorial team and to our reviewers for a constructive review process which helped improve our study. A thread on updates (1/n):

A little late to this but this is a real fun read for condensate enthusiasts: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Today's @NobelPrize for John Hopfield recognizes only one of his contributions - he's a true polymath. I strongly recommend his solo author PNAS papers (i) long-range e- tunneling in proteins (1974), (ii) kinetic proof-reading (1974), (iii) Hopfield nets (1982). Each is a gem!

Today @wmata announced a $28m FY24 year end surplus. This was due to aggressive cost mgmt reducing expenses by $62m. That is on top of $50+m savings developing the FY24 budget. So #wmata is delivering more and better service for $100+m less. Excellent job by the team!🧵1/3

We are excited to share our lab’s first research article! rdcu.be/dU5AC We have developed Transferrin Receptor Targeting Chimeras (TransTACs), a novel class of heterobispecific antibodies designed for targeted degradation of membrane proteins. nature.com/articles/s4158…

@bsabari @MolecularCell @Nancybrillet @UTSWGradSchool Congrats! Awesome cover and article

Excited to share that our paper cell.com/molecular-cell… got the cover of the new issue of @MolecularCell. Extra cool that this is a photograph taken by the first author @Nancybrillet, a super-star research assistant and post-bacc who just started grad school @UTSWGradSchool

@TheBigPic For Sean, favorite place to hike in Ithaca/Finger Lakes?

We're recording a mailbag episode for later this fall! 📫 Submit all of your burning questions on anything BUT movies. (Okay, fine. We'll answer your cinema-related questions if we must!)
