After a little waiting another work from my PhD now online! https://t.co/LqOqsMfaYY. We focus on ZNF675, involved in repressing viral transposable elements in primate genomes, and find evidence for an additional new function of ZNF675 as a transcription factor for gene regulation

Happy to share our preprint from @Ali__Shariati__ lab at @ucscbme! Using inducible CRISPR-activation tools, we can instruct mouse embryonic stem cells to form spatially ordered embryonic patterns in 2D and 3D under simple growth conditions: https://t.co/X8U5IrEnAV #CRISPR

[Ali Shariati علی شریعتی @Ali__Shariati__]

In our new preprint, we show that CRISPR activation of of just two endogenous regulatory elements is sufficient to self-organize embryonic stem cells into spatially-ordered embryonic patterns. https://t.co/HcBdb5RhRJ #crispr

[Baskin Engineering at UCSC @BaskinEng]

(1/2) 🧵#BaskinEngineering Professor @Ali__Shariati__ and researchers developed and released a highly accurate deep learning model called “DeepSea," which is one of the only tools with the ability to segment cells, track them, & detect their division. https://t.co/vn13BPpqmT

[Jess Sevetson, PhD @jess7son]

Hey #ScienceTwitter , I'm running my first set of interviews for grad school candidates this year.

Any tips on good questions to ask, things to look for / look out for, best practices for being equitable when evaluating candidates, etc?

[Gerrald Lodewijk @glodewijk_sci]

I have a joke about CRISPR/Cas, but it didn't make the cut

[Joachim Goedhart @joachimgoedhart]

I have a joke about optical resolution, but you won't get the point

[Gerrald Lodewijk @glodewijk_sci]

@UAW5810 Also shout out to postdoc organizers, who voluntarily spent up to 18 months helping achieve this new contract!

[Gerrald Lodewijk @glodewijk_sci]

@UAW5810 Great to see these improvements that will help a lot of researchers' work and living environment. Of course it's never enough and we are dealing with multifaceted challenges in academia now. Hope our and future generations of scientists will keep fighting for meaningful changes.

STEM march at UC Santa Cruz #strike #fairucnow @UAW5810 @uaw2865 @sruuaw

[DSA Labor 🌹 #UnionYes @DSA_Labor]

UC workers are on strike we are ready to support them! DSA has over 10,000 members in CA, and some of our largest concentrations of union members in DSA are in the UAW locals in the UC system. Use this form and we'll match your strike fund donation: https://t.co/nJNlNSHMQd

[Berkeley Faculty Association @FacultyBerkeley]

We hear that @ucalifornia President Drake - who earns $1m and lives in a house worth $6.5m - will announce that those on strike, including faculty, will have pay docked for demanding that everybody should be able to afford to go to graduate school. That's why we need #FairUCNow

[UAW 4811 @uaw_4811]

BREAKING - 36,558 total votes were cast in UC Academic Workers’ Strike Authorization Votes, with 98% voting Yes to authorize a multi-unit strike if necessary. These are far and away the largest and most decisive strike authorization votes ever taken by Academic Workers in the US.
