Dear Friends! Please VOTE-4-KATIE! My grad student Katie Toohill made it to the ProteinTech "Rising Research Award" final round! It would mean a lot to me and the lab if you voted for her (once a day!!) tinyurl.com/dzwmmr2e

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸🦅🧨🎇. Here is televant Ben Franklin Maxim: "In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria." Stay safe out there today!

I had a wonderful time at the Beckman Symposium! It's amazing to see the worlds best and brightest scientists in one place! Incredible work as always, @BeckmanFnd! Check out my "Beckman Bling" 🌟

WE ARE HIRING (Postdoc Position)! Please share this with anyone who might be interested. Philly and UPENN are waiting for you!

What a coincidence! I'm in Vienna reading the @nytimes at Cafe Central when I stumbled on @PauliGroup's newest CELL paper mentioned in the Science section! What an amazing breakthrough! Congrats @deneke_v & Andreas Blaha! 👏

Two of my favorite but hard to study topics (TEs and smallRNAs). Andrea Schorn is brave enough to gracefully tackle them both head on! 🫡 #cshlTE24

Lots of " Hair raising " Regenerative + Retrotransposon research coming out of the lab of @yejingge. #cshl2024 🐀🧬 Great evidence of functional TEs in adult stem cells!!

Impressive as always, @KathleenHBurns gave a mind-blowing talk telling us what LINE-1 is doing in our genome! 🧬🤯 #cshl2024

I’m honored and grateful to be part of the #PackardFellows class of 2024!🐁🧬🔬🎉😭With the help of the Packard Foundation’s funding, I look forward to researching new ways to study retrotransposon reactivation in development and disease @pennvet @PennCDB packard.org/2024fellows

Great start to a great conference here in Dublin for @SSRepro #ssr2024. Amazing keynote by Richard O. Prum from @Yale "Performance all the way down".

Not one but TWO grad students became PhD Candidates in the Modz Lab, wahoo!! @CAMBUpenn @pennvet @PennCDB @penn
