ok, Genome Stability people. Here are our two starter packs - since I can't pin them both independently to my profile, have to make a new post. Still adding new people to the second pack. As usual, please reach out if you would like to be added!

Some (+)ve news to lighten another heavy weekend: our latest preprint (c/o Mattiroli + Ramani labs) is up!

A tour-de-force by 1st authors Bruna Eckhardt & @palindromephd.bsky.social, focusing on chromatin replication. RTs welcome; tweetorial in 3,2...(1/n)

The eukaryotic replisome intrinsically generates asymmetric daughter chromatin fibers

DNA replication is molecularly asymmetric, due to distinct mechanisms for lagging and leading strand DNA synthesis. Whether chromatin assembly on newly replicated strands is also asymmetric remains un...

For now our university thinks it may be applied to all H1B holders at border crossing, they advise either to enter the US today before midnight, or stay put and not try

Tatiana Moiseeva @tat1anamoiseeva.bsky.social · 19d

Oh, certainly not look kind. Just to iterate the fake "gold standard science" or something. They would still target specific universities, of course, but maybe generally all of them. I know, it is a weak argument, that's all i got

Tatiana Moiseeva @tat1anamoiseeva.bsky.social · 19d

All I can do is hope at this time, there's not much else. Maybe giving universities a break could be a small performative gesture for them, it is such a tiny fraction of H1Bs🙈

Tatiana Moiseeva @tat1anamoiseeva.bsky.social · 19d

My new senior scientist's H1B was approved yesterday, but now they can't come in. I am still hoping universities will be exempt🙈

When your incoming lab member's H1B was approved yesterday, but now they can't travel to the US...

Last evening President Trump issued a Proclamation titled Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers, which aims to block anyone seeking to enter the U.S. on an H-1B visa, unless a $100,000 fee has been paid by their employer. The best advice we can give at this time comes from outside counsel, Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP.

At this time, we recommend the following:

(1) If you are currently in the United States in H-1B status, do not travel out of the country (even to Canada to Mexico) until further notice;

(2) If you are currently outside of the United States with an H-1B visa, do everything you can to return before midnight ET tonight (Saturday), if possible; and

(3) If you are outside of the United States and cannot get back by midnight ET tonight (Saturday), do not attempt to return until we know more about how the Order will be implemented.

Thanks CSHL for the photos, my facial expressions on them are priceless. I think this one is a keeper for replying to a lot of stuff on the internets...

We carried an agarose/EtBr gel to the imager on a plastic box cover that was labeled with red sharpie. The gel acquired a nice but unexpected label. How did this happen? The box was not imaged. Sharpies don't get washed off that easily. What kind of sorcery is this?
The label says "biotin HA 6/6"

"Five judges ruled that the U.K. Equality Act means trans women can be excluded from some groups and single-sex spaces such as changing rooms, homeless shelters, swimming areas and medical or counseling services provided only to women." This has nothing to do with biology.
