Seven years. Over 400 pages. About 750 references. Over 40 figures. Finally I get to hold the finished book. It’s a big day. #EpigeneticsBook @cshlpress.bsky.social

Unhelpful framing. Scientists know we always need to be improving what we do, but science is not “broken”. To suggest this justifies the misplaced destruction of US scientific institutions. @nytimes.com

1/ One of the questions I get asked about my book is what new they'll discover about #epigenetics. I hope there will be a lot to learn, but maybe one of the most intriguing stories will be about the contribution of John Pugh. www.amazon.com/Epigenetics-...

Superb piece of reporting. We should pay attention to the remedies in particular. You Might Have Already Fallen for MAHA’s Conspiracy Theories www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/o...

I’m in Dublin Friday afternoon this week, who’s around for a chat?

NEW: In March, the Trump administration announced a massive purge of workers at the nation's health agencies. We asked them how many workers were laid off, pushed out or left. They refused to give us numbers. So we conducted our own analysis... 🧵 projects.propublica.org/federal-heal...

A postdoc position in genomics available at our infrastructure in Uppsala, Sweden! An interesting R&D role a bit outside the traditional academic environment, great colleagues, work at the forefront of (long-read) sequencing. www.uu.se/en/about-uu/...

Looks like my book is available for pre-order: a.co/d/cTKIwBN #EpigeneticsBook

We discussed the physiological relevance #epigenetics

Plant #epigenetics colleagues, is this the consensus opinion? "...these methylation marks and epiallelic variations found in natural populations are mainly attributed to genetic variations in epigenetic machinery and transposable element (TE) insertions" pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

I’m very excited to announce that I’ve just signed a contract with @princetonupress.bsky.social for a new book, tentatively titled “The Genomic Code” 📖 😊

My book Epigenetics: History, Molecules and Diseases will be published in exactly one month (September 2). Finalizing cover (looks great), probably going to printer this week. Nervous anticipation is the mood right now.

Very pleased to say we have an Assistant Professor job opening (tenure track) in the Department of Genetics at Trinity College Dublin! 😀 www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DOA399/a... - deadline is August 19th! Please repost!

More of these studies coming out, showing that post-translational modifications of transcription factors adds another layer of complexity to transcriptional regulation. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Yes, our challenge just got bigger, but so did our potential insights.

For what I consider the best inter-generational study to date @jamiehackett.bsky.social used over 2,000 mice. www.nature.com/articles/s41... While that's a lot of mice, it is better animal welfare to perform a definitive study than to perform hundreds of uninterpretable studies.

We are looking for new colleagues to come join us in Galway as group leaders (Junior and Senior). The Centre for Chromosome Biology is a great place and it is a good time to join. Please reach out if you want to chat about the opportunity! www.nature.com/naturecareer...

I fail to understand the value of using epigenetic aging clocks in any situation. They are being correlated with...stuff. Name the exposure/condition, someone will find a perturbation in one of today's many epigenetic aging clocks. More expensive and less meaningful than a fortune telling machine.

Big news for science in NYC www.jax.org/news-and-ins...

In 50 days, my book Epigenetics: History, Molecules and Diseases will be published by @cshlpress.bsky.social

@irishtimes.com, why are you publishing what is overtly an advertisement under the guise of an 'opinion' piece? The managing director at Genseq suggests that Ireland should send its genetic tests to "Commercial labs such as Genseq" www.irishtimes.com/business/202...

Representative @aoc.bsky.social clearly has an astute political nose. Her suggested ranking in the NYC Mayoral primary closely mirrored the outcome. Such an interesting primary here in #NYC www.nbcnewyork.com/news/politic...

Get out and vote, NYC.

Happy to help, America!

@doughnutplant.bsky.social doughnuts for the group. A well-fed lab is a happy lab.

If someone has your genomic information, whether in academia or the commercial world, you should control its use. Control, not trust, is the sustainable model. Glad I deleted my 23&Me data www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/b...

Completely agree, I have been thinking this for some time. There may even emerge a value placed on non-AI sources of data, expert consultation, peer review, not just podcast/talking head opinions. Always the optimist…

“Epigenetic mechanisms have been found to, at least partially, mediate the effect of environmental factors in PTSD aetiology.” No, they have not. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

I'm ambiguous about treating the trait of autism as a pathological condition, when it's really the co-morbidities that we need to diagnose and help, but this is scary. Autism evaluations are being canceled over fears about a national registry www.statnews.com/2025/05/01/a... via @statnews.com
