For PhD students it's a good idea to gamble on new PIs, on average they are more into it. I often see that the first graduate students that join a lab end up being really successful.

Any thought?

Isothermal DNA amplification up to 6 kb, led by Momcilo Gavrilov ; can be used for cloning and chromosomal gene editing readout. A 3x faster superhelicase, characterized using nanopore and MD simulation (by Wen Ma), replaces thermocycler. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Anyone having problems lately with MyOne Streptavidin C1 Dynabeads? Seems like they started to seriously inhibit PCR amplification for us, also heard same from another lab. And follow up Q: Any good bead alternatives? or good ways of removing from beads with high yield?

A great mathematician named Madhava, working in Kerala, India, discovered the power series for sin(x) in the 1300s, hundreds of years before Newton, Leibniz, Gregory, Taylor, et al. In this video, master teacher Gary Rubinstein shows how Madhava did it: youtube.com/watch?v=mzigLb…

What does it take to set up a research lab, one built on a collaborative spirit? In this interview by Nature Cell Biology, meet Dimple Notani, a first-generation scientist who is a faculty at NCBS & is unravelling the secrets of #gene expression regulation! nature.com/articles/s4155…

Just finished watching 'A Man Called Otto', and it's a riveting story that we truly need right now. The amazing portrayal of redemption makes it a must-watch for anyone who loves character-driven dramas. I would like to give a shout-out to the author frederik backman. #TomHanks

During weekly lab meetings the people in my group present in one slide the highlights/progress of the past week. This is the best slide we’ve ever had. We laughed so much and hugged because: science is hard, it’s okay to admit it, and we are all in it together 🙂#mentalhealth

Don't just celebrate your publications, revel in every experiment you do and every data point you generate. They all count!

Delving into the intricacies of evolution! Dr. Ella preger ben-noon talking about the evolution of a complex morphology at a single-cell resolution at #EMBODrosophila @Ella_Preger EMBL Events

Now the amazing @Ella_Preger takes it away explaining the detective work and approaches to go from phenotype to molecular mechanism #EMBODrosphila

We caught #drosophila on campus for today's practicals!🪰 We are about to start another exciting afternoon of practicals on 'Drosophila behavioural analysis' 🔬👀. Who's especially excited about this one?

Tonight is the 4th night our babies will spend in Gaza. We do not know if they were harmed, injured, or even if they are still alive. This is the time to support Israel. Do everything you can to save our children, elders, men, and women from Hamas, a terrorist ISIS-like

"Fast Low-Input Efficient Hi-C", led by Mor Guetta and Nili Avidan biorxiv.org/content/10.110… It's written in a brief comm. format but the detailed protocol is in the supplement and we've used it extensively - feel free to use it, ask about what isn't clear and make suggestions

So this is the first publication of Tal's beautiful PhD work, now out in Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences. Thanks for a wonderful collaborations with Ariel Kaplan Arnon Henn @Ella_Preger sujay naik and work from our PhD students Maya Sudman and @gilgolan73
