Our back to back paper @NatureNeuro is out today (https://t.co/vAUFib4mR1). We developed a method to visualize ribosomes bound to endogenous mRNAs with near codon resolution and made some really counterintuitive cell biological discoveries which have cool implications for AD🧵
Translocation-driven chr19-der(14) interaction is associated with disease-specific transcriptional programs in mantle cell lymphoma https://t.co/GqfruQXeVW food for thought....
Coordinated RNA- and protein-templated synthesis of double-stranded DNA by a dual reverse transcriptase immune system: Cell https://t.co/z5udXM5Qz5 Another breakthrough from @SternbergLab reminds us how little we know about molecular biology...
Co-option of retrotransposons promotes antibody diversification: Cell https://t.co/rCWHeD1VN3 Fantastic new paper from @basulabcolumbia revealing an unexpected role of the HUSH complex. Congrats to all for this great discovery!
@ArchipelagoGr is a non-profit marine conservation institute that is trying really hard to protect the mediterranean marine ecosystem, but they need help...
Destructive and Illegal Fishing by Four Turkish Trawlers in Greek Territ... https://t.co/VoXQXr2FSz via @YouTube It is a true shame that this catastrophic form of fishing is taking place and the coast guard does nothing to prevent it.

Researchers at @ColumbiaMed led by @CicciaAlberto have identified a potential new therapeutic target for some of the most aggressive tumors. The study found ALT-positive tumors depend on the protein SMARCAL1 to survive, opening the door to new treatments. https://t.co/8MDtDOH5M6
@mukundiyngr and for those who already have multiple grants already they assign which grant will be renewed under the 15% score, which one with the 10%, etch
@mukundiyngr How about instead of capping grants have the following rule: 1st grant funded with 15% priority score; 2nd grant funded with 10% priority score; 3rd grant 5%, anything after that you need to score 2.5% or less. Great projects will still be funded...
Structural basis for host membrane binding and remodeling by invading malaria parasites: Cell https://t.co/NrctsSleNC Spectacular new paper from Mimi Ho, one of our bright young faculty @Columbia
Brain-Controlled Hearing System Proves Itself in First Human Studies https://t.co/XHkCRPNqsQ taxpayers money put in good use. People using hearing aids can immediately appreciate the importance of this discovery!
https://t.co/DHLX5LnkYJ Science people who are looking for a fantastic mentor that does groundbreaking science in a beautiful place, @JoanPulupa is opening shop soon @scrippsresearch institute. Run don't walk.
https://t.co/sPjK6du9QD For those that loose faith in the value of academic, government-funded research, this list provides a nice example of how the pursue of knowledge improves and saves lives!
https://t.co/Lijcm9LT2c When your former graduate student and your recent junior faculty recruit @ColumbiaBiochem both become Rita Allen Scholars, it is a good day in the office. Congrats to Eirini, Naomi and all the Scholars
