Love microRNAs but feel like the field has been a bit stagnant? Then do we have the preprint for you! The mammalian brain is a prominent site for miRNA function, but cell type- or developmental stage-specific functions are largely understudied due to technical limitations. 🧵

1/ Earlier this week at Boston University (@BU_Tweets), in a required class for 1st year Phd students, the class was lectured for an hour on why they as graduate workers did not deserve a living wage. This has never before been a standard part of the syllabus in this class.

Grad school apps are EXPENSIVE....💸

So, which #STEM PhD programs have WAIVED their application fee this year?!

We have compiled a list of programs that you can apply to for FREE. Please let us know if you’ve heard of others! Thank you!! 💜

The clever people at @NASA have created this deceptively simple yet highly effective data visualisation showing monthly global temperatures between 1880-2021. Watch until the end...

The next generation of RNA-targeting Cas proteins

[100 jess @100jessduit]

Wow finally published!🥳🧜I learned a lot about miRNAs and neuronal fate working on this, hopefully you will too reading it 🥴

[Giordano Lippi @LippiLab]

Are microRNAs important to establish and maintain cell diversity in the nervous system? In the latest review from the lab,@norjin_z, @100jessduit, and @fedezampa argue that they are necessary at each step of the way, from progenitors to senescence. https://t.co/ecsJFhisCr

the absolute worst part of being in statistics was having to deal with statisticians @_qquueennttiinn

[Prof. Akiko Iwasaki @VirusesImmunity]

Here is a thread to explain the findings of this study, that used computational tools to predict T cell reactive sequences in #SARSCOV2 subunit vaccines.

The bottom line: there is no cause for alarm.

Here is why (1/n)

fuck it let's put stories in Rstudio there are no rules anymore

There are Trump supporters outside my parents’ house shouting through megaphones “Lock Her Up,” and I just keep thinking, I hope they’re wearing masks and some day get over 2016.

Last night, after nearly 6 anxious months of being told "the company will have a response for you shortly," my employer, @latimes, finally handed me a decision on the pay discrimination claim I filed through my union.

Twitter has confirmed Trump's account will no longer receive special protections starting at 12:01pm January 20th, and he will be subject to suspension for rule violations

Several years ago, there was this white nationalist thinker and organizer - can't remember his name (he's no longer with us). In an interview, he laid out a simple principle around which he and his fellow racists wanted to organize: 1/

Data from @NSF''s own report at: https://t.co/FvooXPDUbR:

- ~8% of CS bachelors to Black students
- <2% of CS bachelors to LatinX women
- ~20% of CS PhDs to women

And y'all REALLY decided to emphasize CS-related research areas for the @NSFGRFP this year? #AcademicChatter
