Very excited to be speaking at the @embo.org Epitranscriptome workshop at the @events.embl.org @embl.org Heidelberg this October! I will show some of the newest data from the lab on how ubiquitin signaling drives m6A RNA methylation in the context of neurodevelopment.

James Baldwin didn’t believe in reform; he believed in revolution. “Anything less than a total social reckoning—a complete psychological makeover of white America—was worthless,” Louis Menand writes.

The Lives and Loves of James Baldwin

An older generation dismissed him as passé; a newer one has recast him as a secular saint. But Baldwin’s true message remains more unsettling than either camp recognizes.
