Still buzzing from Prof. Landweber’s visit! Her talk on Oxytricha’s mind-blowing genome rearrangements sparked so much discussion and inspiration. Huge thanks to everyone who joined & to our sponsors for their support. Stay tuned for more RNA

My second PhD project is out in NAR!
We investigate a remarkable transposase involved in genome rearrangement in the ciliate Oxytricha trifallax. Endless gratitude to Laura (@LandweberLab), Sam (@SternbergLab) and our brilliant collaborators. ⬇️

Get really good help at home and a support network and at least a few independent people in lab who will thrive and help guide others. I also lived close to the lab and went in a few hours 2-3 afternoons a week, including lab meeting, either between feedings or one pumped bottle

Ready, Set, BAKE!
ICYMI Aug. 1 was RNA Day, and @Columbia RNA Initiative scientists broke out their baking trays for the group's 2nd annual cake competition.
Which is your favorite? Cakes from the @SaraZaccara @LandweberLab @LenaSteckelberg @wu_xuebing @chaolinzhang labs.

Exciting discussions on piRNA biology: thank you for organizing, Martine, Severine, Ramesh, and @farmgirlphd! It was wonderful seeing you all! @AlexeiAravin @ketting_rene @LandweberLab @juliusbrennecke @zamore_lab
Congrats Blake et al.! Programmable break-and-repair RNA editing is nicely reminiscent of the original guide RNA-mediated RNA editing in trypanosomes by U insertion and deletion, where "guide" RNAs all began: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1688…
