Just another day in the Lab. #mainelife #scienceinmaine

The MDIBL chalk board got a repaint. Good for another 50 years.

This is from my time in the @KettingLab and Butter labs. A great team effort with the Gunsiano Lab and Dustin Updike labs. Thanks to all other co-authors, some on Twitter: @LizMarnik Giselle Cipriani George Chung Ida Isolehto Kris Gunsalus

Marnik et al describe & characterize LOTR-1, a new germ-granule protein in #Celegans LOTR-1 acts with ZNFX-1 to position small RNA amplification from RNA templates 🔎: doi.org/10.1371/journa… @LizMarnik Miguel V. Almeida @KettingLab Dustin Updike MDI Biological Lab IMB Mainz NYU Genomics

pssst... Want to see something cool? Here we show how to completely wreck sub-nucleolar phase separation in an animal without impacting its health, development, or fertility. rdcu.be/cYUDy

Check out this awesome story of how phosphorylated nuclear Dicer regulates late stage tumor progression in bioRxiv. This is an incredible story of how basic science discovery opens up new avenues of research! Fun fact: Dicer phosphorylation was discovered in #WormOocyte

Sometimes a new tool can spur a scientist to unexpected discoveries. MDI Biological Lab’s Emily Spaulding, Ph.D., is using advanced “super-resolution” microscopy to peer deep within the active cells of C. elegans: ow.ly/cvVL50LHrXU ow.ly/NZ4e50LHrJJ

After 2 years of dreaming, we realize the outcome. The @mesoSPIM is functional MDI Biological Lab. Support from @NIGMS, Fabian F. Voigt, @FritjofHelmchen, and @nvladimus was crucial for this success. Full credits to my postdoc Marko Pende for getting this dream realized. mdibl.org/an-extraordina…

Registration is open for the 50th Annual Maine Biological and Medical Sciences Symposium! #MBMSS, held April 21-22 here at #MDIBL, is a statewide gathering for scientists at all levels. Did we mention that registration is completely free? mdibl.org/conference/50t…

“Fighting Trolls and Finding Allies: Scientists on Social Media.” That’s on tap at our next online MDI Science Café on 4/10! Join two science communications pros: former NYTimes climate reporter Andrew Revkin and Maine’s own Elisabeth Marnik, Ph.D. ow.ly/FInG50Nn9YK

(1/3) Thrilled to share our paper describing a change from a histone variant (H3.3) to a replication-coupled histone (H3) - enriched epigenome coordinates the restriction of embryonic plasticity with the acquisition of cell fate is out this week! 🗞️ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

When someone asks if you think that you're going to make the grant submission deadline it feels like an invasion of privacy
