So excited to share our lab’s first publication! Congrats to everyone for all the hard work in collecting some gorgeous structures✨👩🏻‍🔬

The Lim lab's first paper is out!!! https://t.co/jynhedCYLw
Here, we solved the cryo-EM structures of the human CST-Pola-primase preinitiation complex bound to telomere templates. CST poised the enzyme for de novo RNA primer synthesis and the switch to primer DNA extension. (1/5)

The golden rule of academic etiquette:

If the public speaker makes direct eye contact with you, you respond with an enthusiastic nod of encouragement.

First time I get the cover of a magazine and it's in @Nature! Had this idea to illustrate the diversity captured by the MX Biobank across Mexico and brilliant designer @mauguz33 brought it to life inspired by indigenous Huichol art from near my home town. https://t.co/OHeBg9ZRzu
