Our new pre-print from the Greenberg and Churchman labs shows that activity-dependent modulation of RNA stability is a major, and underappreciated, mechanism of gene regulation in neurons. Tutorial below! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (1/11)

First time posting here — and first-ever Single Molecule Conference 🧬 Held right at @embl.org Heidelberg, where I work! 4 days full of great science and great people. Fantastic meeting! 🔬 Curious to see where the single molecule field is going next! 👀 #EMBLSingleMolecule @events.embl.org

Honored to receive 1st Place Poster Award 🏆 at the EMBL meeting "Gene Regulation: One Molecule at a Time"! Thank you to all who visited and engaged in exciting discussions. Grateful to the organizers for an excellent event! #EMBLSingleMolecule

#EMBLsinglemolecule was a blast! Happy to host the birth of single molecule genomics as a field and to think about the future with the microscopy crowd. Thanks to participants and organizers!

The molecular feedback mechanisms that maintain yeast mito-nuclear balance represent elegant solutions to a major vulnerability in eukaryotic cells. I was privileged to be involved in this fascinating study!

In a new study by our @pelleeas.bsky.social, we reveal how Mrx4 organizes translational regulation of cytochrome b synthesis at the mitoribosomal tunnel exit. Thanks @kawresearch.bsky.social for funding and @stirlingchurchman.bsky.social for the fun collaboration! academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

🗨️💡Great conversations during well-attended lunch time panel discussions at #EMBLSingleMolecule Panel 1️⃣: Single molecule genomics data analysis Chair: @stirlingchurchman.bsky.social Panel 2️⃣: Single molecule microscopy data analysis Chairs: @laghalab.bsky.social, Dan Larson @arnaudkr.bsky.social

Absolutely thrilled of hosting the #EMBLSingleMolecule community together @embl.org for the first time under one roof! Exciting data and prospects!

🍪 Taking a breather at 'Gene regulation: one molecule at a time' — where the science is complex, but the coffee is simple (and much needed!). From single-molecule insights to lively hallway conversations, it's clear: breakthroughs happen both in the lab and over lattes. ☕🧬 #EMBLSingleMolecule

Welcome to the inaugural edition of 'Gene regulation: one molecule at a time' 🤩🧬 #EMBLSingleMolecule Most of the participants are already on site – now time for some science! Our Scientific Organisers: 🔹 @stirlingchurchman.bsky.social 🔹@arnaudkr.bsky.social 🔹 @laghalab.bsky.social 🔹 Daniel Larson

🧬 🧪The world’s on 🔥 BUT in the interest of sharing small wins, I am helping build something cool at EpiCypher that I'm proud of: Fiber-seq is an LRS assay that maps chromatin accessibility, DNAme, and DNA sequence on single molecules. If your jam is functional genomics/epigenetics, check this out.

Mitochondrial RNAs can be found in mitochondrial RNA granules (MRGs) where they are processed. However, here the authors show that during transcription arrest, mt-mRNAs form granules distinct from MRGs. @stirlingchurchman.bsky.social‬ www.life-science-alliance.org/content/8/9/...

Make America Love Harvard Again

I appreciate the offers from other scientists to help Harvard (students, labs, etc) through this attack, but what would be most helpful is for you to use your position to contact your elected representatives and make it clear this fight isn't just Harvard, it will affect you, and their districts too

Our papers, device designs, and protocols are used by biotech companies every day. Basic science is not a luxury - federal funding drives the very earliest R&D that powers biotech and trains the next generation of scientists (3/3). #WithoutNSF

In 100 days in office, US President Donald Trump has destabilized eight decades of government support for science. This has included terminating more than 1,000 grants in areas such as climate change, cancer, and HIV prevention. Will US science survive Trump 2.0? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Don’t forget to register for this special conference. If you like gene regulation from single molecule approaches, please join us #EMBLSingleMolecule. Imaging and Omics and a bit of theory for lots of fun!

This is a pitch-perfect version of the argument we all need to be making. Thank you so much, Stirling and Jack.

This is a much more important letter in WSJ than their recent Op-Ed from Hillsdale College. This is very important about what public funding of science means

My father-in-law, Jack Strominger, and I wrote a letter to the @wsj.com editor about the current threats to science due to Trump's funding freeze. Please repost! www.wsj.com/opinion/scie...

🚨 Join us for the @faseborg.bsky.social Meeting on Mechanisms of Mitochondrial DNA Mutation and Repair, June 1 - 5, 2025 | Nashville, Tennessee. 📅 Abstract submission & Early Registration close on April 20, 2025! Don't miss out: events.faseb.org/event/mitoch... Please re-post!

Modern science wouldn’t exist without the online research repository known as arXiv. Three decades in, its creator still can’t let it go.

Researchers at MIT turned a skin cell into a neuron without having to go through that pesky intermediate stem cell step. Truly incredible. news.mit.edu/2025/mit-eng...

In 1948, Jack Strominger wrote a report advocating for the formation of a National Science Foundation as a 23 year-old medical school student. He proposed we emerge from a world where our laboratories "depended on a flow of basic scientific facts from abroad". pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

I highly recommend working with Martin! Exciting science and supportive mentor!

I'm really excited for this conference! I'd love to see you there. There will be many invited talks and special workshops on data analysis and theoretical modeling!

One of the coolest and most novel findings I’ve seen in years. This is why I work in worms. To find things no one even really knew to look for. Like a conserved system that splices transposons out of mRNAs to prevent otherwise lethal insertions in essential genes! - www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to announce here my postdoc work in Danica Fujimori's lab is published open-access. With @stirlingchurchman.bsky.social, @fraserlab.bsky.social, & Takeuchi-Tomita lab, we use biochemical & structural approaches to investigate mitoribosomal inhibition by antibiotics doi.org/10.1093/nar/...
