Excited to finally share our new work from the
@Freudlab where we determine how the critical DNA repair protein APE1 recognizes and processes DNA damage in the nucleosome. Updated tweet 👇 (1/n)

Super excited to announce that my first 1st author paper titled "dCas9 binding inhibits the initiation of base excision repair in vitro" just went online at DNA Repair! Check out the link below for more information #phdlife #CRISPR #BER #DNARepair

@EMGSUS Is there any way that we could get a recap of this for people who were unable to make it to the awards ceremony?

Also for everyone else giving talks and presenting posters. Keep up the good work, your research is making this conference very enjoyable to attend.

[Jacob Antony @jacobantonyS]

Shoutout to everyone in the Freudenthal lab giving poster presentations and talks at #EMGS2021 some really interesting and good science being presented here. Looks like I’ll have some more reading to do when some of this unpublished work comes out.

Now to find the right journal to publish in as our previous submissions didn’t end how we wanted them to

[Jacob Antony @jacobantonyS]

I think my first talk at a scientific conference went well. #phdlife

[Jacob Antony @jacobantonyS]

Recently finished the first rough draft of a manuscript I was working on for my research #Publication #Soon

[Jacob Antony @jacobantonyS]

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one #GradTA

It’s exciting to see CRISPR-based technologies coming into clinical settings for COVID testing and screening. Thanks to all the hard work of everyone pushing to develop these technologies during a pandemic. #CRISPR #cshlcrispr20 #Cas13

What about keeping your distance?

Second demo: I set open bacteria culture plates 2, 4 and 6 feet away and coughed (hard) for ~15s. I repeated this without a mask.

As seen by number of bacteria colonies, droplets mostly landed <6 ft, but a mask blocked nearly all of them.

[Rich Davis, PhD, D(ABMM), MLS🧫🦠 @richdavisphd]

What does a mask do? Blocks respiratory droplets coming from your mouth and throat.

Two simple demos:

First, I sneezed, sang, talked & coughed toward an agar culture plate with or without a mask. Bacteria colonies show where droplets landed. A mask blocks virtually all of them.

@AbeKhieran48 med school decision been made yet?

[Jacob Antony @jacobantonyS]

Well both my flashdrive with all of my graduate and undergraduate work as well as my expensive laptop are currently broken/not working.

[Jacob Antony @jacobantonyS]

@charlesdynasti 2nd best after Messi, really? I don’t know if I agree with this

[Jacob Antony @jacobantonyS]

@charlesdynasti Like the opinion that Liverpool can beat Man City to the title if they keep performing well or that Barcelona have lost what made them special: their focus on develonping youth through La Masia

[Jacob Antony @jacobantonyS]

@charlesdynasti What about Ronaldindo, Dani Alves, Puyol, and Messi?
