When the abstract of a paper about p53 says it's still poorly understood

BREAKING NEWS The 2023 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Walter White for promoting an understanding of synthetic organic chemistry to the general public. This unprecedented selection is bound to spark controversy, but Walter is/was an undeniably inspiring figure...

Our paper is out, Bravo and thanks to all the contributors!!👏👏 Take home: after DSB induction, gH2AX domains self-segregate to form a new chromatin compartment, in which some DDR genes also physically relocate to potentiate their expression. rdcu.be/doT6W

Scary #Zebrafish movie 😱

As an HFSP fellow, I am eligible to host a Ukrainian scientist affected by the war via the S4S initiative. hfsp.org/hfspo-help-sci… Any Ukrainian researcher who would like to work on insect auditory transduction, please contact me or my host supervisor Ben Warren.

Now published in eLife - the journal : our study of career outcomes for PhDs and postdocs who left @EMBL over 24 years. Here's a thread on why we undertook this, and some of the main findings elifesciences.org/articles/78706

IMF Report on the significant economic return of investment in basic research. "We find that basic scientific research affects more sectors, in more countries and for a longer time than applied research (commercially oriented R&D by firms)" See it here: imf.org/en/Blogs/Artic…

Extremely happy to see this work out and glad to have contributed my 2 cents :) Congrats, Geneviève Almouzni & team!

No words...

Check out our paper! Fresh out of the oven :)
