We recently learned that our beloved movie theater @AMCTheatres Kips Bay is closing due to acquisition of the building by @nyulangone. This is devastating for NYU Langone employees like me. My colleagues and I ask AMC and NYU to reconsider. See attached.

Check out our latest pub where we expand the cancer gene regulatory network as a resource for the cancer genetics community! 🧬
This study delineates a large-scale cancer gene TF-DNA interaction network, highlighting potential oncogene-targeted therapeutics and complex TF roles in gene regulation. @fuxmanlab @annaabananabell @yunwei_lu @BU_Tweets bit.ly/3WppOsI

Incredibly excited to share that next month I’ll be starting my postdoc in the lab of @JefBoeke at the NYU Langone Health Institute for Systems Genetics! 🧬🗽 I can’t wait to join this brilliant group. The pup is doing a great job adjusting to city life so far!

Every once in a while, we’re lucky enough to have a mentor who changes our lives for the better, and that’s what I’ve had in grad school. Infinitely grateful to have @fuxmanlab as a mentor, colleague, and friend.
Congrats @annaabananabell for a wonderful thesis defense! I can’t be any more proud of you and looking forward to what you’ll accomplish on your next chapter!

It turns out that most “alternative” transcription factor isoforms really are alternative! It was an honor to contribute to this story and work with amazing postdocs @LukeLambs and @kaia_mattioli.

!!!!!!!
Most of our science PhD students will go on to careers that involve more than just science, and so we need to provide them experiences beyond just research. A PhD should also be about learning communication, leadership, project management, and a whole set of professional skills.

The lab had a great time at the #FestivalOfGenomics last week! Thanks to @manoliskellis for coming to say hi and for an exceptional talk. Feeling inspired as I look ahead to a postdoc and starting my own lab some day. 🧬

Conference prep checklist! ✅ No idea what clothes to pack ✅ Poster printing disaster ✅ Traveling alone ✅ Social anxiety ✅ Trying to remember why I’m doing this #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience #gradschool

pY1H assays can identify cooperativity and antagonism between hundreds of protein pairs at DNA regions of interest. Using them to study TF pairs, we observe patterns that help us understand the complexity of DNA targeting by TFs.

Sometimes being a woman in science feels like this, even if you have a great mentor. #gradschool #gradstudent #womeninSTEM #womeninscience

Can’t make this shit up. Went to a showing & panel for @PictureaSciFilm at @thecoolidge, was so inspired. First 2 people to speak during Q&A were men, one just to comment that gender discrepancy in science “isn’t actually that bad.” #gradschool #WomenInSTEM

Are Gen Z okay? My student told me he doesn’t like brunch because he hates having to dress up?? Do y’all know you can eat eggs without dressing up???

Trying to fully close out of Snapgene is like trying to turn off a Furby. I will not be taking further questions.
