New preprint! doi.org/10.1101/2024...
Yet another study where we highlight how noisy gene regulation is in single bacterial cells 🫨
After we measured several promoters regulated by LexA in the mother machine, L. Galbusera and @erikvannimwegen.bsky.social did a great theoretical analysis 1/n
Transient transcription factor depletions explain diverse single-cell responses of LexA target promoters to mild DNA damage
In bacteria, the effects of transcription factors (TFs) on the expression of their target genes are highly stochastic at the single-cell level. Not only do TF concentrations fluctuate in time and from...

🏳️‍⚧️ Dora Richter, one of the first trans femmes known to have medically transitioned was thought to have been murdered at the Nazi raid on the world’s first transgender clinic, actually survived, recently discovered documents revealed this summer👇

We've always been here, and even in the darkest times - we will survive through them. We'll always be here

Great article and 🧵. We're trained to accept our current society as how it's always been, but it turns out laws and policies we make do shape our lives! Like striking down a law forbidding price discrimination by grocery suppliers.
1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.
The Mystery of Food Deserts
They didn’t materialize around the country for no reason. Something happened.

Perhaps one of the most famous manuscripts of all time – Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species – was doodled all over by his children. Adorable! 😊
