I believe that we are about to see a major scientific conflict play out here on BlueSky, for better or for worse. I'll weigh in on this on the blog once I'm sure that I understand everyone's positions:

I’m on the last season of Stranger Things and it’s basically El Chavo del 8 now: everyone’s ‘a kid’, but the faces say otherwise

an urgent change in the system is needed and its not the one german politicians are advocating for -

Recently out: “Uniform dynamics of cohesin-mediated loop extrusion in living human cells”. In this study led by brilliant former PhD student Thomas Sabaté we use live cell microscopy and polymer simulations to characterize how DNA loops and TADs form in human cells by cohesin-driven extrusion.
