@GovMikeKehoe @POTUS Such an embarrassment. This is the exact opposite of democracy. Wtf is a MAGA Republic. If you have any common sense you know this presidency will be in the history books as the worst chapter in American history, fascist autocratic dictatorship

@GovMikeKehoe What’s your statement for the 265,298 Missourians who is at risk of losing healthcare? Or for the $3.3 trillion that’ll be added to the national deficit? Or for why republicans would shut down the amendment to repeal tax breaks for the citizens making A BILLION dollars?

Would you bend over to pick up a nickel? Relative to the median US net worth of $192,900, the equivalent of a nickel to Elon Musk is about $90,000. Would Elon Musk bend over to pick up a bag of $90,000?

In these cancers, the single driving oncoprotein has DNA-binding and prion-like capabilities. The epigenetic reprogramming involves changes in chromatin structure, condensation, accessibility, & recruited co-factors. The DNA gets rewoven by the oncoprotein; still lots to learn

Do you know about GGAA repeats in Ewing Sarcoma? We found TGA repeats in Clear Cell Sarcoma! These "half motif" repeats may be important for oncogenic transcription factors with prion-like domains to form transcriptional "hubs" at enhancers. https://t.co/Mvdy9OdsvK

Analysis of any sequencing data should be done independently by at least 4 people (the more the better, kind of like an “n”) in order to reach any conclusion

What unpopular academia opinion would get you in this situation?

Forcing a draw is a win when they’re 600 ELO higher 😂 @chesscom

[Ben Ozenberger, PhD @Benomics]

@jackiem_bioinfo Still figuring it out! Wife and I are primarily considering Kansas City or St Louis

[Ben Ozenberger, PhD @Benomics]

Last day @huntsmancancer, onwards and upwards!

[Ben Ozenberger, PhD @Benomics]

Can we please normalize sending confirmation emails for registering for meetings/symposia. I can't remember if I did!! #phdchat

[Ben Ozenberger, PhD @Benomics]

#PhDone!! 5 years researching sarcoma in the KB Jones lab @huntsmancancer. Thank you to my wife and parents for their support!

@Sam_Copeland Bc9# Gotta think outside the box!

[Ben Ozenberger, PhD @Benomics]

@Logic301 @chesscom Let’s play on stage at the Salt Lake City show! Got my tickets

[Ben Ozenberger, PhD @Benomics]

So excited! Contact me if you want the Zoom link!

[Dilru Silva @DilruSilva]

Excited to share that my first (co-)first author was published today! Congrats to the team especially my dedicated mentors @ConanKinsey @MaxTheSFCat I’m so grateful to be a part of @huntsmancancer where we can do translational work like this to continue our fight against cancer!

My science wish for 2023 (and beyond)… a bench-top mass spectrometer that can replace western blots

Ironical, bacterial soap from a labmate!
