Paper alert from @codyz.bsky.social y.social and Yang Liu. New mechanism for chromatin remodeling by ATRX. Super cool story. Congrats to #lugerlab alumni. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Incredibly proud to share our new preprint, lead by the Incomparable Rithika Sankar. Here we temporally dissect the role of FACT in mES cells, finding that FACT loss drives progressive deterioration of chromatin architecture, leading to transcriptional collapse. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

heard from @projectsaltbox.bsky.social that #ICE is planning a Trump concentration camp in Hudson CO. Does anyone have intel? Protests happening? Our Dem. lawmakers at least are opposed. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/02/wher... and y'all the tracker on @projectsaltbox.bsky.social is awesome.

@rschumacher.cloud on a state call this morning, talking about the crazy warmth we've been experiencing. The number of days Fort Collins has passed 60°F this winter, far surpasses any other winter!

Looks like Republican NIMBY-ism is our best defense against the United States of ICE. 🤷‍♂️

Reminder — as the Trump White House hosts an event yesterday marking Black History month, they are literally rewriting American history at our National Parks across the country. It is shameful.

Old 'Skimo' practitioner talking here: this has nothing to do with ski mountaineering in the traditional sense of the word, which involves summiting with skins on skis (often taking hours), then skiing down. Its like hiking, but having way more fun on the way back to the trailhead.

Fu apples at lab meeting! Happy new year y'all

lessons in courage indeed.

I am somebody! This is one of Jesse Jackson's greatest gifts to me.

Type IV pili are widely used to grab and eat DNA in the environment. This amazing movie of V. cholerae, made by our collab. Courtney Ellison, shows that. Conjugation is usually executed by type 4 secretion systems which, confusingly, are distinct from type IV pili and type 2 secretion systems.

OMG this cartoon tho. we need more of this!

Happy #ValentinesDay! 🐌❤️🐌 Delightful, if fanciful, depiction of garden snails exchanging love darts. By English artist Frederick Polydore Nodder and published in the Naturalist’s Miscellany in 1790.
