Excited to share our new findings in @science.org on how the DRT3 bacterial defense system uses a reverse transcriptase that builds DNA repeats without a nucleic acid template. Microbes never cease to amaze! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I am excited to share the main piece of work from my PhD! In this paper, we investigated the propensities of distinct transcripts in associating with biomolecular condensates, mainly focusing on how heat-induced mRNAs escape condensation and are properly translated. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

The Abreu lab at NYU is hiring another postdoc! We study microbial ecology and evolution, using yeast/bacteria microcosms, DNA barcoding for evolutionary lineage tracking, and simple mathematical modeling. Apply here: apply.interfolio.com/179949

16 (! What?) years ago I went to my first ABRCMS and was welcomed and encouraged to pursue my scientific dreams. I met folks that provided direct feedback on my graduate school applications and served a pivotal role in my career. I am honored return and give back again as faculty. #ABRCMS2025

IMPRS-BAC #gradschool: Our new groupleader @sedonamurphy.bsky.social has an open PhD project in her lab. Topic: Spatial feedback between epigenetic regulation and chromatin regulation. Apply by Jan 7, 2026! 👉 www.molgen.mpg.de/5091778/Murp...

I am so excited to share new work on a TE insertion that regulates iridescence in swordtails, led by fantastic grad student @nadiahaghani.bsky.social and with help from many coauthors! In a time that has been so difficult to navigate, this & other projects have kept my spirits up: shorturl.at/NE65A

I'm recruiting a postdoc for my group (based in beautiful Eugene, OR). Please get in touch if you're interested, esp if you'd like to chat at #ASHG25!

Just a few more days until the deadline! If you're planning to apply to Bio-based PhD programs this year, considering joining us at the Biology Preview Program where we'll walk you through the PhD application process and help you polish you application materials! Apply here: bit.ly/4n4Nxtu

Please share this widely and encourage students to apply! Many of our current graduate students were recruited through this program -- happy to answer any questions and connect with students bsky.app/profile/stan...
