Very proud and happy to share that our lab's first paper and my first as senior author is finally out! A big thank you to Kah Junn and fantastic collaborators Cheng Li, Wu Shuang, @LibedinskyLab @adamcchang @jacuzzijo and several others.

@NeuroFishh @SimenBru I see your zebrafish with an eye in its mouth, and I raise you 2 Xenopus tadpoles with a similar ectopic eye, made by modifying developmental bioelectricity (injection of K+ channel, by @_sherryaw_ when she was a student in my lab)! I have more photos somewhere.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Katalin Karikó @kkariko & Dr. Drew Weissman @WeissmanLab on being awarded the @NobelPrize for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 #RNA #NobelPrize

The Nobel Prize@NobelPrize

Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman – awarded the 2023 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine – discovered that base-modified mRNA can be used to block activation of inflammatory reactions and increase protein production when mRNA is delivered to cells.

Happy to summarize this work with talented postdoc Roger Herikstad! When you initiate a movement after a sensory go cue, the time between the sensory signal and the movement onset is variable. This reaction time (RT) variability is observed even for well-practiced movements.(1/8)

The replicability crisis is caused by a conflict between the goals of scientific progress and the personal career goals of individual scientists. In this thread, I propose a simple tweak to the publishing/funding system that could have large benefits to scientific progress (1/n)

20 years ago we published the first biochemical proofs that metabolite-sensing #riboswitch RNAs exist in bacteria. In an @TrendsBiochem TIBS review, we overview some of the discoveries made since, and speculate on what is yet to come. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Tiny two-stem #riboswitch #aptamer RNAs in bacteria sense #sodium ions and regulate genes for Na+ homeostasis, #pH regulation, #osmotic stress, and even #ATP synthesis. Perhaps this is another molecular relic from the #RNAWorld. nature.com/articles/s4158…

warm up with the following, just for fun (serious new ones coming this Fall). As @DougBlackiston, @pai_vaibhav, @_sherryaw_& I showed (journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/21…; pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22159581), functional eyes can be induced on many tissues (gut, tail) of a tadpole.

With the new academic year starting, and many people beginning fresh as graduate students, post-docs, or junior faculty, I have been thinking a lot about the core philosophies that govern my own perspectives on science. So I thought I would share. Welcome to The Tao of Cheese

I thought I had heard all the consciousness thought experiments but at #cshlNeuroAI @LibedinskyLab told me a new one that literally kept me up last night. This is Camilo’s idea but I’ve taken some liberties with the details. Answer the polls in the order that you read them. 1/

Excellent summary of the replay thought experiment that I've used over the years to torment my students in NUS. Read the summary and vote! (Thanks @AnnaSchapiro for the succinct summary and poll :)

Camilo @LibedinskyLab called this the "Sherry thought experiment" since grad school (the subject is usually called Sherry) and I'm proud to be the Sherry it is named after. 😅🤓

Sad to learn that #Yale Prof. and colleague #SidneyAltman, 1989 Chemistry #Nobel recipient, has died. His publication on the #ribozyme action of #RNaseP was a milestone discovery in the now exploding field of #ncRNA. The photo shows him celebrating the news of his Nobel Prize.
