New work from @stephentang23 et al. that describes a fascinating set of reverse transcriptases involved in antiviral immunity. They synthesize tandem-repeat cDNAs that resemble telomeres, revealing an unexpected bacterial evolutionary origin of telomerase. Check out the thread!

EMBL’s 2025 Kendrew alumni award recipient may know how to make fairy tales come true. Irma Querques repurposed the ‘Sleeping Beauty’ transposon as a genetic tool for new therapeutics, particularly against cancer. embl.org/news/people-pe…

Excited to share my talk at the EMBL John Kendrew Award ceremony about what transposons taught me about science, life, and change along the way. Big thanks to my mentors, @embl, and my current scientific home @MaxPerutzLabs 💛 youtu.be/NwIikKS7EWE?si…

Wrapping up my @ERC_Research-funded @frontiers_media Fellowship at ISTA. In 4.5 months, I gave talks on science journalism, visited Austrian newsrooms, and connected with researchers and journalists from around the world. Grateful for the opportunity and excited for what’s next!

1/16 New pre-print from the Sternberg Lab! We uncover how temperate phages can use RNA-guided transcription factors to remodel the flagellar composition of their bacterial host and enhance their fitness. Find the preprint and full story here: tinyurl.com/mshwjd77

Excited to share my last major PhD work from the @SternbergLab. We discovered a mechanism that initiates transcription at programmable sites, without requiring promoter sequences - a novel mode of transcription regulation in bacteria.
Sternberg Lab@SternbergLab

New pre-print(s) from the Sternberg Lab in collaboration with @LeifuChangLab! We uncover an unprecedented molecular mechanism of CRISPR-Cas12f-like proteins, which drive RNA-guided transcription independently of canonical promoter motifs. Full story here: tinyurl.com/mr3fd493

Tomorrow I’m joining four amazing colleagues from around the globe to talk about science journalism — how it can offer clarity, hope, and accountability in uncertain times. Don’t miss it! More info at: ista.ac.at/en/news-events…

Work hard, party hard. Your all-time favorite Ph.D. students @magmasternak and yours truly have successfully defended their theses in the last month. Doing a Ph.D. is hard but doing a Ph.D. with a true friend has felt like a breeze. Cheers to us!
