Geneticist Mary-Claire King changed the way we think about hereditary cancer. We spoke with her about her career, research, and how she approaches science.

A Trailblazing Geneticist Reflects On Her Life And Work

Dr. Mary-Claire King was the first to link a gene to hereditary cancer risk with the identification of BRCA1. She was just getting started.

Thank you @kristinawong.bsky.social & #AA_CARES #SFSU for yesterday's #FOODBANKINFLUENCER performance @ McKenna Theatre. Amazing #solo #karaoke #musical. Brilliant parody lyrics! Learned some history & politics of food banks - Who knew? And bonus: #AuntieSewingSquad in the house!!

Chinese-American woman dressed in T-shirt and green overalls is standing in middle of stage singing into a hand-held microphone and wearing a large flat orange carrot, perhaps made of cardboard and cloth. Around the stage there are small stacks of canned food, as well as another large vegetable/fruit - a large purple eggplant (probably cardboard/cloth). Just backstage of the performer are two tables similarly decorated with long strands of reflective fringe, and they also have some stacks of canned food on them. On the back wall of the stage is a projection screen that is completely black with one phrase on it "So much invisible labor" written in mostly green color text...except that "abor" is in white. To the left and right of the screen are posted signs including: "USDA," "NO HOT FOOD WITH EBT," "U.S.D.A 25¢ FOOD STAMP PROGRAM," "TOPS ALL FOODS FOOD STAMP CREDIT 10c"

Career achievement unlocked - two publications come out on the same day!

Great collaboration with Tom Sexton

And fantastic work by Tiegh Taylor and Mitchell lab colleagues

Transcription processes compete with loop extrusion to homogenize promoter and enhancer dynamics

Gene promoters and enhancers share the same constrained mobilities during transcription, opposing cohesin-mediated loop extrusion.

Great. Next, you’ll be telling me that any advanced technology is in distinguishable from magic. #science #sciencefiction
