This was such a great event! Thank you again, @MidtownScholar for hosting it! I think I had one of the best seats in the house 😊
Excited to read the book, @NPRinskeep!

[Midtown Scholar @MidtownScholar]

Incredible kick-off event at #hbgbookfest with @NPRinskeep and @Scott_LaMar. Thanks @WITF and @NPR!

Love how the final paper came out! So happy to see both this paper and it’s companion from February land ⁦@jbiolchem⁩! https://t.co/AK34Ul9U2Z

New in JBC press: "Scientists demonstrate that MLL1 core complex phase separation stimulates enzymatic activity up to 60-fold, but not primarily by concentrating subunits into droplets."

Come be my colleague! Syracuse University Department of Biology is accepting applications for Assistant Professor in Epigenetics. See https://t.co/iq6ysOT2C5 for more details and to apply. Please RT! #sciencetwitter #scitwitter #AcademicChatter #academicjobs

[Kevin Namitz, PhD @KNamitz]

I’m excited to share my new first-author paper that’s in press @jbiolchem! In a follow-up to our work from February, we looked at ways in which the MLL1 Core Complex could assemble and found an oligomeric scaffolding that greatly enhanced activity.

@evornithology …part of the “Royal Albert Hall” concert, guitarist on “Blonde on Blonde”, part of the “Basement Tapes”…just his contributions to the Bob Dylan mystique are legendary enough…then to go on and form The Band on top of that. Just epic 😳

[Kevin Namitz, PhD @KNamitz]

@TriggerLoop Yeah, it seems like all the kids in her group have gotten it a couple of times this summer. It’s been crazy bad. I think we inadvertently re-infected her that first time because we didn’t change her toothbrush…since we hadn’t known it was strep.

[Kevin Namitz, PhD @KNamitz]

@TriggerLoop Yeah, that was how the first (undiagnosed) bout went: they thought it was an ear infection, so she did that course, but as soon as that one ended, fever came back…that’s when they found the strep.

[Kevin Namitz, PhD @KNamitz]

@TriggerLoop My daughter’s just finishing up the antibiotic regimen for her second (possibly third) case of strep since April 😭

Nobody does IDPs (and mentoring) better than Carlos! Having him on my qualifying and defense committees were two of the smartest things I’ve done in this business. And he’s also a fantastic collaborator to boot!

So grateful to have been a small part of this awesome paper! Congratulations @chromajain and all involved! This is the kind of work that got me interested in epigenetics in the first place! All that cross-talk potential and how it works!

[Kanishk Jain @chromajain]

I know some folks have seen our biorxiv post, but now I can happily say this paper is officially published! Thanks to all parties involved!

@TriggerLoop I love how there are two Powell and Pressberger films in the top 8. Very solid.

[Kevin Namitz, PhD @KNamitz]

@evornithology It's tough, but I'd probably go with I am the walrus. "I am he, as you are he, as you are me and we are all together"...one of the trippiest lines Lennon ever wrote.
