Did you listen to the latest episode of #ThaleHarate? Surya Prakash B S & Pavan Srinath break down #Budget2021, analyse how the pandemic affected India's #Budget2020, and how India has managed its priorities during the pandemic. thinkpragati.com/podcast/thale-… #Kannada #Podcast #India

“You should always hang your bananas instead of keeping them flat in a bowl because that makes them think that they are still on the tree and thus they ripen slowly” is a beautiful way to explain it

A few thoughts on the B.1.617 variant, first seen in India in late 2020, recently seen in >100 cases in the UK, and very much in the news here. TLDR: we should watch carefully, but I don't think any of our best lines of evidence on variants are yet cause for concern. 🧵

Had a blast hanging out with some wonderful scientists at #RNA23!

An important paper on the genetic architecture of South Asians is published by a fantastic team of industry and academic researchers. I recommend you read the paper to learn about all the interesting findings. But here are some general thoughts. I am not involved in this study,

Legal immigration is *impossible* for nearly all immigrants wishing to immigrate to the U.S. legally. You can’t just “get in line.” That’s a fiction perpetuated by those who want to keep immigration illegal. My latest report explains why. Here’s the summary in 1 pic... 🧵

Our Postgraduate Society were in Newcastle recently for the POGS retreat, organised by Jan Verburg, Andreanna Wright, grace alston and Christine Rodger. Thank you to Simon Cockell @[email protected] and Laura Greaves from Newcastle University for their talks and to all student speakers and presenters 1/2

1/10📢Thrilled to announce our new preprint! In this work, we describe a new method called TREX for unbiased discovery of proteins that directly bind to a given region of an RNA of interest. And all this is from living cells under endogenous settings! #RNA biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We’ve just published a review article on mRNA quality control mechanisms The EMBO Journal, led by Laura Monaghan and Dasa Longman MRC_HGU embopress.org/doi/full/10.15…

Happy to see that our work on developing a #GeneTherapy that can support cardiomyocyte regeneration has been published in Circulation. Congrats to everyone Tenaya Therapeutics, I'm excited to see how this can help people with #HeartDisease in the future.

A postdoc position is available in our lab MRC_HGU to study regulation and physiological relevance of the Nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) pathway in vivo, using cells in culture and transgenic mice models. See details at elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…
