Postdoc in the #MougousLab studying bacterial antagonism | Looked at bacterial chromatin and gene expression for my PhD in @LandickLab | the science of cooking

[Beth Shen @biochemBeth]

Excited to share a preprint with some of my thesis work done in the @LandickLab! We used cool techniques to unravel connections between H-NS filament structure and DNA sequence. Thanks to my co-authors for making this project fun! @cmhustmyer @mikebwolfe @JessenErik

Hybrid analysis reveals how DNA sequence governs genomic location and DNA contacts of bacterial chromatin H-NS filaments https://t.co/9gqTBmGLtT #bioRxiv

@HannahLedvina @LeadingEdgeSymp Congrats @HannahLedvina !! 🥳

[Beth Shen @biochemBeth]

@cmhustmyer Wish I could hear the race car analogies! 🏎️ Have fun. 😃

[Beth Shen @biochemBeth]

@cmhustmyer @CaoXinyun Congrats!!! 🎉🎉

[Beth Shen @biochemBeth]

@cmhustmyer Hope it was a fun poster session and meeting! 🙂

[Hannah Ratner @HannahKRatner]

Very honored to be selected as an LSRF fellow and to be joining this community! Thank you @LSRFdtn and @HHMI for the opportunity, and to all of my mentors, especially Joseph Mougous and @DWeissLab for the support and encouragement! Congrats to my fellow awardees 🎉

[Beth Shen @biochemBeth]

@kaidenlac @nanostringtech Congrats!! Best wishes in your new position. Excited to hear about all the things you'll get to learn! 🎉🎉

@biochem_bri I would set my timer to 5 sec then press start. My time course then starts at 0 as the timer counts up. You have to listen to it beep for 1 min, but it worked for my radioactive experiments!

[Beth Shen @biochemBeth]

@MicrobeManager Hope it's helpful!! 🤞

[Beth Shen @biochemBeth]

@MicrobeManager Sorry, Steven! This sucks! If you are considering trying to apply for the F32 again, you could try to reach out to a program officer at the nih to ask about what topics they are looking for. I heard they could help with this, though I don't have specific experience with that!

[Beth Shen @biochemBeth]

@gramnegativity Congrats!! 🎉

[Beth Shen @biochemBeth]

@gramnegativity My cat watches me do the dishes. 😂

[Beth Shen @biochemBeth]

@lukebeaumont @nanopore Not as long as I thought it would. Just a few weeks to figure out the system. Definitely a little intimidating the first go, but I feel ready to try a second run! It'll probably take me a bit longer to optimize my sample prep though!

[Beth Shen @biochemBeth]

One thing I love about my postdoc is learning new techniques! Today I got to add long-read sequencing (@nanopore) to my list. Never thought that would happen. Very excited for the data I can get from this small wonder. 🎉🦠🧬

[Beth Shen @biochemBeth]

@mjbellecourt I assume the book is full of inaccuracies then. Too bad cuz I would read that otherwise!

[Beth Shen @biochemBeth]

@mhdmoraes @nanopore Me too!!! 🤞🤞

[Beth Shen @biochemBeth]

@daniel_mcleod_ I have a Casper mattress. I love it!!

[Beth Shen @biochemBeth]

@microbeMinded @NASA @bcmhouston @BCM_Microbiome @HoustonWorms Wow! Such a cool project, Buck. Excited to see what you all find out! 🦠🚀

[Beth Shen @biochemBeth]

@mhdmoraes Oh no!! Hope the reagents get to you soon!! 🤞

[Beth Shen @biochemBeth]

@DrLindzyONeal Glad you got to ride this plane! Looks beautiful! I rode a few weeks ago and it blew my mind! 😊

[Beth Shen @biochemBeth]

@mhdmoraes Me too!!
