The HuSH complex silences retrotransposons in vertebrates. Our latest manuscript introduces HuSH2 and delves into the fascinating interplay of two paralogous HuSH complexes in governing LINE-1 silencing. Credits to @Zena_Jen and @aechristenson. https://t.co/NMA3kzqHV2.

My awesome undergrad in the @PeterLewisLab making some fun art! 👏

Anna Christenson studies DNA modifications and how they go wrong! Her design was inspired by the 10 billion mile length of our DNA that dwarfs the 92 million mile distance between Earth and Sun. See designs at the @deltabeerlab event May 20 and at https://t.co/XSSF2xEMyB

Such a great project to work on with @shelby_s_weav and @marie_fiori . Thanks @scipolnetwork @SciPolJournal and @CaSP_UWMadison for bringing us together!

People with periods need tampons/pads, but access to these products varies across WI jails & prisons. Legislation requiring all correctional facilities to provide free products to incarcerated people will protect their health & rehabilitation. https://t.co/phEJkRici3

This exciting issue of JSPG features two memos from CaSPers on green gentrification (@astroJulieDavis, @BrittanyABaur, @salexanderH2O, Ben Bachmann) and access to menstrual products in prisons (@marie_fiori, @Zena_Jen, @shelby_s_weav). Congrats to all authors! Check it out 👇

[RNA @RNAJournal]

Human cells lines and tissues differentially express small nuclear RNA sequence variants that assemble into snRNPs and spliceosomes. Thus, variant snRNAs may direct alternative splicing programs https://t.co/Lq4Fk0lCim

@McknightLaura Aw thanks Laura! ❤ 😊

Thanks so much to @WISCIENCE and Wisconsin's Green Fire for giving me the opportunity to work on this project!

[Zena Jensvold @Zena_Jen]

Excited to share the result of my side project exploring #SciPol! I worked with Wisconsin's Green Fire to put together a report on the state of WI's energy policy and recommended actions to revamp WI's outdated energy system. Read recs in or link below:

There are several reasons to think that the new UK #SARSCoV2 variant is an important one as it might be more contagious than other variants, but there are also some uncertainties. So much misinformation is being circulated, so this thread brings key data together. 🧵

@McknightLaura @kdc509 Can vouch for @McknightLaura's nonshady grad student deals haha somehow got both a sweet Honda crv and amazing coffee machine out of my time working in the McKnight lab! Though now I do blame her for me becoming a coffee snob haha ❤

Come and join our lab! We have an opening for a motivated postdoc to study chromatin dynamics in cancer using biochemical and cell-based approaches. For more information about the lab’s research, see https://t.co/CP57ZWIfUm. Send CV and cover letter to [email protected]

We're excited that @MolecularCell selected our M.C. Escher-inspired artwork for the cover of their Nov 19 issue! Check out our new story about how H3K27M and EZHIP attenuate PRC2 activity in gliomas. https://t.co/3PfvlMF2IF Image credit: @cathylundgren. Thank you, Catherine!

While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last—because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.

1) Our new oncohistone study, “Histone H3.3 G34 mutations promote aberrant PRC2 activity and drive tumor progression” is published in @PNAS today! Congratulations to @SiddhantUJain and our collaborative team! Doi: https://t.co/FRIeqyIkVy

In Madison, WI, community groups will now choose the members of a new civilian police oversight board, which must include at least one member who was previously incarcerated.
