@xplanatorium@VolkswagenSt@GEOMAR_de@tuBraunschweig Fascinating to learn about topics from biomedical engeneering, physical sciences, biogeochemstry and more and delighted to be a VWS awardee and present our work at Hanover today
We are very sad that @AngelikaAmon, first generation PhD student at the IMP, former IMP board member, and lifelong friend of the house, has lost her battle against cancer. Her contributions to science form a lasting legacy we are grateful for. Our thoughts are with her family.
We are very sad and upset about the awful loss of our beloved Director, Professor Michael Wakelam. He was a beacon of positive energy, generosity and kindness to us and numerous friends and colleagues all over the world. Our thoughts and best wishes go out to his family.
Join us on 30 March for the first Digital Cambridge Epigenetics Club with Mikhail Spivakov (MRC London) @mikhailspivakov ‘Probing the logic of gene regulation from a distance'. Mikhail’s talk will be available online from 10 am BST, with a live Q&A 4-5 pm BST. See you online!
With many meetings and conferences cancelled in response to #COVID19, we're hosting a series of online talks where #ECRs can present their research remotely 🎥

Check out our new #podcast episode with Dr. Ana Pombo to learn about the "Interchromatin Network" and "Strings and Binders Switch" models of #chromatin organization. https://t.co/6HHx9Wgpom #epigenetics
@MITBiology Prof. David Page and colleagues, including a former MIT graduate student, have identified differences in male and female gene expression, including those contributing to height differences, throughout the body in humans and other mammals.

At EMBL for an EMBL Alumni Board meeting and looking forward to this afternoon EMBLs World Alumni day, connecting globally on the 20 th anniversary of the EMBL Alumni Association
A new study in Nature disproves a long-standing idea that multi-celled animals evolved from a single-celled ancestor resembling a modern sponge cell. Instead, it was probably quite similar to a stem cell. Read the paper here: https://t.co/RhhDuVQFfw
We’re looking for a postdoc in synthetic chromosome biology in Edinburgh @Marston_lab @WTcell with @caiyizhi funded by @BBSRC. Apply here:

Cool observations from @BrancoLab, arguing that in stem cells actually only a minority of transposable elements are capable of serving as #enhancers. Curious to know what determines this capability (genomic context?) And what happens in the #embryo? #TE https://t.co/eFqGeDuS5q
Please spread the word. Emily Bernstein and myself will host the 2020 EMBO workshop on Histone Variants, SEP 23-25 at the IJC, Campus CanRuti, Badalona, Spain. Stay tuned for more information. #histone_variants@generegulation
Don't forget to apply for the Gateff Award of @GfGenetik for your PhD thesis! If you graduated within the last 1.5 yrs in any area of Genetics and have a connection to Germany, I would love to receive your application! Deadline: June 1, 2019. Please RT!
Nobel prize winner Sydney Brenner FRS passed away yesterday. Paying tribute, Venki Ramakrishnan PRS called him "one of the greatest biologists of the last century", who was "known for his deep insights, his elegant experiments and his incisive wit."

Our new work on retrotransposon regulation by chromatin remodelling fresh in print in Nature communications https://t.co/RtIXE2jwSb
We show that the ATPase activity of SMARCAD1 is required to build heterochromatin at ERVs.
