Glad to share our review on Mosquito Olfaction Neurogenetics - Now published in Trends in Genetics 🦟🧬cell.com/trends/genetic…

'I recognize that meeting the demands being made at the bargaining table will come at a cost. But honoring our academic workers by providing industry-leading fair compensation, job security, and essential resources to survive California’s high cost of living is long overdue'

Paper finally out! 🎉 Great effort from the team Sebald Verkuijl Estela González 🏳️‍🌈 Michelle Anderson @jtopsch. In collaboration with Omar Akbari Lab A CRISPR endonuclease gene drive reveals distinct mechanisms of inheritance bias nature.com/articles/s4146…

Postdocs at UC are organzing a No Vote campaign now. Their TA ratification starts tomorrow. If you know a Postdoc at UC tell them about this website. They need to know. #Postdocs #FairContractNow #UAWonStrike noratify.github.io #Solidarity

Today was an incredible experience at #DARPAForward! Thank you DARPA for the opportunity to talk about #RNA, #CRISPR and new #RNATherapeutics. Also met some amazing people, including the fellow #DARPARisers and presenters!

We're in San Diego for the final (of 6!) #DARPAForward events. We kicked off Tuesday with DARPA Risers, promising early career researchers demonstrating potential benefits to national security. More at forward.darpa.mil.

We will upload a new paper to BioRxiv in a few weeks describing an innovative viral sensor system in mosquitoes termed REAPER. Stay tuned…. This is work in collaboration with labs Alphey Lab Prasad Paradkar Igor Antoshechkin

The future of plant gene editing is *now* thanks to Cibus technology that’s developing productivity traits & low-carbon ingredients, helping accelerate agriculture’s jump to a more sustainable system, say Cibus' Rory Riggs & Jim Radtke in @GerminationMag. germination.ca/proposed-merge…

It's official! The 🇬🇧 government has changed its laws to regulate traits from gene editing technologies on a similar basis as traits from conventional breeding. Another significant step towards international regulatory alignment and greater sustainability: ow.ly/wPBu50NvfQu
