So glad to be back at the enlightening NDLR conference #NDLR2024, listening to excellent science and catching up with colleagues in beautiful Adelaide, after a long gap punctuated by COVID and parenthood #leukaemia 🙌👏

Those who rest, rust ;) - iron metabolism licenses adult stem cell fate and drives aging. How? Have a look at the new work of Drs. Yun-Ruei Christine Kao and Jiahao Chen @The_Will_Lab @EinsteinMed @EinsteinCellBio @Einstein_SCI

@CterminiPhD 3 in 13 is a great hit rate! Congratulations on the successes (forget about the misses) and wishing you all the best!

[Ashwin Unnikrishnan @ashwinkrish]

@SnowdomeAU Thank you for your support of research

[Prof Deborah Marsh @djmarsh24]

Academics about to clock off for the holiday season inundated with requests to review papers, grants, editorial work etc., it's OK to say "no" or "I can't do it now, but this is when I can do it". We're academics, not robots. Wishing all a peaceful holiday season #AcademicChatter

Finally out!
We found that mRNAs are not uniformly distributed across the cytoplasm.

mRNA architecture is the strongest determinant for localization.

Subcytoplasmic location of translation controls protein output.

15 years since I signed up on a site that I barely understood the purpose of. How could one express oneself on a micro-blog limited to 140 characters? And why would anyone use it instead of blogger/wordpress/myspace? Ah, time...🤐🫡

@KiWookKim816 @UNSW @nhmrc @HHyoty @EU_Commission @professormcraig @maspenno @BetaCellCRE @theCFos @Row_Bull @jseden1 Likewise, Ki Wook. Looking forward to catching up again in 2024 after the break

[Daichi Inoue @DaichiInoue5]

Happy to share our most recent work. “BRD9 determines the cell fate of hematopoietic stem cells by regulating chromatin state” @NatureComms

This work illuminates the roles of bromodomain family protein BRD9 in normal and malignant hematopoiesis. (1/n)

As the year draws to an end, we took some time out to unwind and celebrate #lab achievements in 2023 - a successful #PhD completion, High Distinction from all 3 undergrads and grant successes supporting our work. Looking forward to advancing science and pushing onwards in 2024!🎄

[Ashwin Unnikrishnan @ashwinkrish]

@Carmichael_Cath Awesome news to end the year on. Congratulations, Catherine @Carmichael_Cath and looking forward to the cool science that will follow 👏🙌

[Ashwin Unnikrishnan @ashwinkrish]

@grimmrad @JasonWilliamsNY I'm going to listen out for this in the next episode on my podcast stream. Would love to attend a live show someday!

[Ashwin Unnikrishnan @ashwinkrish]

@voineagulab @nhmrc Congratulations, Irina @voineagulab

[Ashwin Unnikrishnan @ashwinkrish]

@JasonWilliamsNY @grimmrad Please, please, could you give us a hint? And i'd appreciate if it isn't in the form of a limerick, because I can never seem to crack those!

[Ashwin Unnikrishnan @ashwinkrish]

Awesome work!

[Marty Taylor, MD PhD @DrMartyTaylor]

Thrilled to announce our paper @Nature, >10 yrs in the making! I led an amazing team to finally crack structures and mechanisms of LINE-1, with implications for cancer, autoimmunity, and other diseases. We made a video abstract with @visualscience narrated by my mentor @JefBoeke

[Ashwin Unnikrishnan @ashwinkrish]

@drCarterBawa This is awesome. Great to see that this sentiment is perhaps more commonly felt than it might appear in today's clickety-clack, responding on the go, and at any & all hours type of environment

[Ashwin Unnikrishnan @ashwinkrish]

From one Ash to another...goodbye, for now, and so good to meet up again after 4 long years. While I'm saddened to say bye, I'm looking forward to heading home 🇦🇺 and handing a small momento of San Diego to my #1 fan 👶, keenly awaiting her dad's return #ASH23

[Ashwin Unnikrishnan @ashwinkrish]

@nicolajsmith78 Almost like I was destined to end up doing this, right 😃😃😃

[Ashwin Unnikrishnan @ashwinkrish]

Best part of being at #ASH2023 in San Diego is in catching up with friends and colleagues, and learn more about all the great work they're doing. Supporting fellow Aussies this evening 🇦🇺🦘

@alex_tonks @DCGResearch @BLSCardiffUni @CUBLSResearch @CUmedicengage @cardiffuni Congratulations!!
