Excited to share our recent work at @Ginkgo . TLDR: high quality mRNA stability data -> performant ML models -> design 3’UTRs that increase stability -> in vivo validated ML 3’UTRs beat benchmark. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Which transcription factors (TF) regulate which #genetic variants?
Flynn et al analyze eQTL effect size as a function of TF level, & find candidate TF mechanisms for a large number of eQTLs

Congratulations to Dr. Manny Tamargo @MATamargo for successfully defending his Ph.D. thesis yesterday in front of a great hybrid crowd of lab mates, family, and friends!!
We are so proud & wish you the best of luck in the future.

Fed prosecutors in Brooklyn are inexplicably seeking a terrorism enhancement for two people w/no record that could mean 10 yrs in a case of property damage to an abandoned police vehicle that should have never been a federal case in the first place.
OPINION | Biden’s DOJ uses a Trump tactic
Federal prosecutors label Black Lives Matter protesters terrorists, writes @RachelBarkow.

From deep mutational scanning fitness scores to changes in free energy of folding and binding to map allostery in protein binding domains. Very glad to share my last PhD work in @BenLehner's lab. Terrific teamwork with the astounding @aj4re @JoernSchmiedel biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Keep calm. Be patient. Allow local elections officials to do their jobs. What is most important isn’t the speed of the count; it’s that every eligible vote is counted. Americans made their voices heard in record numbers, and their votes must be counted. #Election2020

Must read by my amazing friend @phenomenonny.
Her own traumatic experience of being mistakenly pulled over with her mother, at gunpoint, by police officers using The Stolen Car Excuse.
Unacceptable, yet it happens far too often when Driving While Black.

Replying to @simplelogical
Science does not transcend any of these things. It is not some magical thing - science is a bunch of humans figuring stuff out. Some of them are wonderful, others not. We can all do with a day now and again to turn our critical thinking into ourselves.

For academics (especially White academics, but this goes for everyone) reading #BlackintheIvory and wondering how you can support Black students and academics here is a thread of things to consider a number which have been especially supportive of my own professional development
