(8/8)...but that is a little harder to do, and is a story for a future publication!

(1/n) It's been a while, but I'm excited to finally share this awesome Nat Comm paper I co-first-authored with Hannah Salapa, all about how dysfunction of an RNA binding protein (hnRNP A1) promotes neurodegeneration in Multiple Sclerosis (MS): https://t.co/mpWqP5j6WK

[Patricia Thibault @escape_mutant]

(7/n) As a note for the future, our lab believes that correcting hnRNP A1 dysfunction – making hnRNP A1 pick up the reins and start doing its job again – could halt both neurodegeneration and disease progression in MS...

[Multiple Sclerosis Levin Lab & Research Chair @SKMSOffice]

Check out our latest #research showing hnRNP A1 dysfunction alters RNA splicing and drives neurodegeneration in MS, published with @SpringerNature in @NatureComms! Read it here: https://t.co/mwgkgu57jC

@nanopore @martinalexsmith @nanopore When will the new direct RNA sequencing kit be available in Canada? The flow cells for the old one are about to be phased out and the new one still isn't in the Store.

@cityofsaskatoon @stoontransit @stoontransit Where are we with buses today? Both the app and Google maps have all lines listed with times, but none of them show any live buses, and the news releases just say to check the app.

@mattecapu @BdvMadres @MSCActions Sorry if I wrote the Tweet in some manner that meant I was forced to apply for the change. It was a request because this was the best solution given that my research centre is closed and there are no schools for children now.

My Marie Curie fellow contract has officially been changed to part-time due to work delay and overcharge of parental care resulted from #coronavirus outbreak. I wonder how many other (female) scientists are in the same situation. @BdvMadres #WomenInSTEM #postdoc @MSCActions

@M_S_Hakeem @kdmack87 🤷‍♀️ Such is life.

@Casey_Scientist @SavannahSimsCal I think they meant hookworm. Would not recommend...

Congratulations to Dr. Azarm, first of his name, on a successful PhD #thesisdefense! D-Fence! D-Fence! #ViralLeeLab @KristopherAzarm @VirusWhisperer must be so proud ❤️

@CBLopezLab @immunuelle Congratulations @immunuelle!

I almost forgive them for finding things that don't match my pet theory about what miR-122 does for HCV replication. #lovevirology

[Patricia Thibault @escape_mutant]

It's pretty wild to realize that an entire generation of scientists has gone through my PhD lab @JoyceWilson23 without me. Here's some great work on Hepatitis C virus and miR-122 on bioRxiv, by @RasikaKunden and Juveriya Khan. https://t.co/MGvqFbDudb
