People say “well what did people do before vaccines/antibiotics/pasteurisation?” as if that’s an argument for going natural. They died, Carol. A lot of people died.

Kicking-off a new cohort of Professional Development Program students @Flädie Mat & Vingård. Two days of #collaborative learning, #community building and #fun. It’s been a joy to meet all of you! #peer support Lund Stem Cell Center

It’s finally happened! 🥳 The first in person meeting for ASAPTransposons 💪🏽 It was a very productive meeting and one that has been long overdue. Agnete Kirkeby @MollyHammell Johan Jakobsson The Barker / Williams-Gray Lab

Our recent STAR Protocol on #CRISPRi. Also the first publication for the new Cell and Gene Therapy Core🥳 Johan Jakobsson Anita Adami Medicinska fakulteten, Lunds universitet Lund Stem Cell Center star-protocols.cell.com/protocols/1570

Feeling grateful for the opportunity to present my PhD project at #FENS2022 ! Also thrilled about the exciting science I got to see these days 👩‍🔬🧠

🧠💃

An intense 3-weeks long training program at the Bordeaux School of Neuroscience. What a great opportunity to learn, share science, meet fellow young researchers and have lectures&talks by #brainorganoids experts from all over the world!

💫

New preprint from our lab. We asked if LINE-1 transposable elements are expressed in the human brain – and found something exciting and intriguing: L1 retrotransposons drive human neuronal transcriptome complexity and functional diversification biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thread👇

An intense and inspiring meeting with exciting science and some Swedish sun 💫

We celebrated #TransposonDay2023 with a fantastic retreat in the 🇸🇪 countryside. A day packed with LINE-1, SVA and HERVs!

Days of inspiring science and experiences sharing at the #ASAPSanDiegocollaborativemeeting . A unique experience for trainees like me to meet incredibile scientists from #ASAP from all around the world.

It was a pleasure to present some of our work at the #ASAPCollaborativeMeetingSanDiego . A unique opportunity as a trainee to be able to interact with such an incredible and unique scientific network! Johan Jakobsson ASAPTransposons Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s

I am thrilled to see my first postdoc paper published in NatureStructMolBiol! 🌟🧠🧬 “Mini-heterochromatin domains constrain the cis-regulatory impact of SVA transposons in human brain development and disease” nature.com/articles/s4159… 1/n 🧵
