I stumbled over article: Sex at birth is not always random — mum’s age and genetics can play a part.
Wow, that is really interesting.
...but actually the study doesn’t look at the influence of male partners.
Isn't that important??!

Sex at birth is not always random — mum’s age and genetics can play a part
Families with three or more boys, for example, are more likely to have another boy than a girl as the next child.

Happy to see my Postdoc work out @natbiotech.nature.com. Using HaloTag and synthetic fluorophores instead of FPs enables us to shift the spectral properties of kinase activity reporters (KARs) to the far-red 🔬. Huge thanks to everyone involved @jinzhanglab.bsky.social!

Hello science friends on bluesky!
After many years of doing molecular biophysics and optics/microscopy, I just want to share that I'm leaving science and academia next month. I don't have concrete plans for my next step yet so I might just take a break for a while but we shall see how things go.
