Our review about CDK11 is out in @TrendsCellBio now.
We discuss evolution of CDK11 - SF3B1 axis and its role in pre-mRNA splicing. We also summarize how CDK11 and its inhibition affect transcription and cell cycle progression.

Still digesting the landmark #Draghireport, but great to see the emphasis on R&I. Very happy with proposal to double support to ground-breaking fundamental research via the European Research Council! And the stance on preserving the ERC's independence.

@briebriejoy I thought the ending of your post would say "... In this sense, he is a traditional Democrat."

Research Council of Finland has another call for inviting researchers from Ukraine to Finland. Will @SuomenAkatemia stand by its academic and moral principles and commit to open a call for Palestinian researchers fleeing the genocide and destruction in #Gaza and the #WestBank?

Take a pause and listen what the pediatric intensive care and humanitarian physician @Tanyaalih of @MSF had to say at the first-ever panel on Palestinian human rights at the @DemConvention in Chicago on the devastating suffering she witnessed in #Gaza hospitals #FreePalestine

[Monica Marks @MonicaLMarks]

Extraordinary testimony from pediatric intensive care Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan (@Tanyaalih), who spoke about suffering at the hospital where she worked in Gaza.

In a historic first, @uncommittedmvmt held this panel on Palestinian rights at the DNC yesterday:

"Povprečne zimske temperature na Svalbardu so se v zadnjih 30 letih dvignile za 10 stopinj Celzija," mi je povedal Kim Holmen iz Norveškega polarnega inštituta. Dva dni zapored je termometer presegel 20 stopinj - na skrajnem severu.Goreti bi morali vsi alarmi. There. Will. Be. B.

A comprehensive review by @dorsolab on mechanisms regulating HIV-1 proviral transcription and strategies of exploiting the knowledge for reactivating and eliminating the latent reservoir. Congrats!

[Ivan D’Orso @dorsolab]

My review about “The HIV-1 transcriptional program” for the @JMolBiol special issue on transcription elongation is now out: https://t.co/qW2WS3gKSc. I provide a 4 decades historical recount from mechanistic insights to implications for viral latency and cure. Thanks @NIAID!

@dorsolab @whoishegotyou @challa_ashwini @KrausLab Congrats Usman, Ivan et al. Nice work!

@ABugai Money talks! We should not expect any morality by the weapons industry. As George W Bush has said back in 2002, war is good for economy.

@mpgpresident And with Palestinians? Is there no solidarity with the population being eradicated by your friend's genocidal actions?

Here’s a simple fact: If politicians stand with working families, working families will stand with you.

As it turns out, lowering the retirement age & raising the minimum wage are very popular.

Congratulations to the French Left for taking on right-wing extremism and winning.

[Matjaž Barborič @BarboricLab]

Thanks @SuomenAkatemia for the vote of confidence! Now it's on us to reveal new routes of gene control by transcriptional CDKs and to exploit this against cancer. Thanks to my team and collabs @McManus_Lab AnniinaVihervaa @CarolineFriedel @science_yall @JuhaKlefstrom @NetPharMed
