This data is really striking - mRNA vaccine priming ICI response in several tumors
Today I kicked off No Kings Day with hundreds of fired up patriots at NIH who are standing up to this lawless president.
Together we said NO to his attacks on public health.
NO to his assault on our Constitution.
NO to kings in America.
And YES to standing up for our democracy.
No Kings! In Pasadena

www.nature.com/articles/s41... saw @lablegube.bsky.social present this last week. Provides important clarity on RNA at chromosomal DSBs. Including rigorously debunking the nascent synthesis idea.
Exciting to have 3 days to focus on this pathway.
It’s been a long time coming! Grateful to all co-authors and colleagues who supported this study, especially @yilanfan.bsky.social 🙌 We have been working on this complex for nearly 3 years together and finally managed to tame it. MRN gave us Many Restless Nights, but we’re More Relaxed Now 😎

Guess the topic
Gearing up to head to Paris for nhej2025.sciencesconf.org but indulging in some LA delicacies before I go.
I’ve met many raw milk is healthy, we already have the cure for cancer, immunizations are dangerous, HIV isn’t the cause of AIDS people. As a scientist I thought it important to counter with respect and logic, and wonder how we are failing at public health. No more. New response - “that’s stupid!”
I am delighted to announce that the UW Department of Biochemistry has opened searches for TWO tenure-track positions.
Descriptions and links in the following two posts.

We have openings for a postdoctoral training program on DNA Damage and Oncogenic Signaling. Our past trainees have been very successful. Apply by Aug 31 for full consideration. See link for details. www.imgs-coh.edu/postdoctoral...
this is so wonderful and so critical right now

Beyond BRCA status: machine-learning assisted multichannel imaging platform for cell-by-cell analysis of HR competency, enabling patient stratification. “Editor’s Choice” in NAR Cancer. academic.oup.com/narcancer/ar...
Our sister journal, Nucleic Acids Research, has opened a search for an Executive Editor. Great opportunity for mid-career or senior investigator looking to be part of a great team, handle 100-150 papers per year, and attend the annual EE meeting. Details at: academic.oup.com/nar/pages/ex...
Fingers crossed 🤞
Yeah…10% was bad enough…
I was thinking about this too as I'm a standing member at NIH and review did the DoD. The amount of time and effort for no monetary benefit that is expected of us is unreasonable even at a 10th percentile funding rate. But at 4%.... what are we even asking of scientists?
4% payline demoralizing for reviewers - review 9 grants each taking 3-4hrs (total reviewed by all is 90) flying to DC, a hotel conference room to discuss the top half of grants (45) 15 min each, 3x a year for 4 yrs. Paid $300. 4% = maybe 3/90, 0-1 that you reviewed funded. I couldn’t.
