It’s been a big month for the lab! We’ve gone from just me to six in as many weeks. I’m so excited to embark on this new chapter with these wonderful people, and I’m looking forward to the exciting science 🧪we’ll be doing together in the new Life and Mind Building @biology.ox.ac.uk #epigenetics

Excited to be presenting my work today at @biochemsoc.bsky.social event Transcription and Chromatin UK!

Last day of #SMBE2025 in Beijing! It was a real pleasure to talk about epimutation on Tuesday and to get to know lots of new researchers and their exciting work!

Traveling to Beijing for @official-smbe.bsky.social #SMBE 2025. I have both a talk and a poster on Tuesday on different aspects of epigenetic inheritance. Stop by if you’re there!

🚨Fantastic PhD opportunity for Autumn 2025 with our colleague Rebekah Tillotson @uoe-igc.bsky.social, asking whether ATRX syndrome is treatable: sidb.org.uk/phds/tillots... Please share 🙏 #epigenetics #raregeneticdisease #chromatinopathies

Taking place on 17-19 September 2025, Transcription and Chromatin UK will showcase cutting-edge research and is a ‘mustattend’ for anyone within the transcription and epigenetics community🧪. Register now: www.eventsforce.net/biochemsoc/2...

Postdoc positions open in my lab (Francis Crick Institute) to study 1. initiation of DNA replication. 2. chromatin replication/epigenetic inheritance. Great for biochemists, biophysicists and cryo-EM/cryo-tomography scientists. Deadline 3 August 2025. crick.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/External/job...

Great opportunity in a fun lab / cool city!

From today, every paper submitted to Nature -if published - will be accompanied by peer reviewers comments & authors rebuttal. We started the trial in 2020; we now want to open up the review process & showcase its role in shaping & improving papers 🧪 #AcademicSky www.nature.com/articles/d41...

A nice short reminder to be wary of the press overstating scientific claims link.springer.com/article/10.1...

🚨Job Alert🚨 We are looking for a technician to join us in Oxford @biology.ox.ac.uk to study epigenetics and vibration-sensing: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru... The work will be varied: Arthropod culture 🕷️🪰 Lab work (DNA/RNA extraction, sequencing library preparation…) Apply by Mon 23 June 🧪

Very cool paper combining two of my favourite things: phylogeny and genome organisation

Fly journal is now on BlueSky! The world’s only academic journal dedicated to research on Drosophila & cognate insects. A fully open-access journal that combines rapid publication with high standards of peer-review. For further info and how to submit your work, see the link.

Our new review in @cp-trendscellbio.bsky.social is now online! We discuss the connection between the epigenome, 3D genome folding, gene expression and cellular memory, specifically in loop extrusion-independent contexts.

TWO postdoc positions in Computational Microbiology and/or biochemistry. Join our interdisciplinary group in the new Life and Mind Building @OxfordBiology, @UniofOxford, @IneosOxford Please apply and share this post: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DMP641/p...

Hello World! Are you passionate about epigenomics and evolution 🧪🧬🐭🐵 ? Are you looking for a postdoc in a stimulating and inclusive environment ? Look no further... We are seeking creative postdocs for our ERC project EvoEpi @igred.fr ! 👇Details👇 tinyurl.com/PostdocEvoEp... Repost are appreciated

Something to ponder when considering which journal to submit to. Society owned journals are an important source of income for the community.

1/10 Excited to share our recent work with @psarkies.bsky.social out in Open Biology today. We follow up on a case of Drosophila epigenetic inheritance and find no evidence of sRNA involvement. Plus a surprising result of interest to Drosophilists! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Postdoc opportunity in UK, Wellcome funded, 3 years, to investigate neurogenetics underlying how the brain changes throught life: plasticity vs degeneration. Drosophila, imaging, behaviour. Candidates of all nationalities welcome. Application deadline 19 March. Pls repost. #Drosophila #postdoc #job

Postdoc or PhD working on C. elegans? Interested in applying C. elegans techniques to understand the astonishing world of epigenetics in parasitic nematodes? Apply to our Wellcome Trust funded postdoc position, joint between my lab in Oxford and Mark Viney's in Liverpool: tinyurl.com/5y6cpvcv

Wow! Incredibly grateful to Jessica Hawes and Alyson Ashe for their very kind preview of our paper for the current issue of Mol Cell! @cellpress.bsky.social www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

Still two weeks left to apply to join the lab in Oxford @biology.ox.ac.uk for an exciting project on #epigenetic inheritance in #Drosophila !

Very excited to be setting up my lab @biology.ox.ac.uk and looking forward to growing the team in the coming years!

In the most recent episode we talked with Giacomo Cavalli from the IHG in Montpellier about his work on critical aspects of epigenetic regulation, particularly the role of Polycomb proteins and chromatin architecture. #podcast #epigenetics Listen here: https://buff.ly/41eRD9E
