Not yet, no. I've had to go back to finish some stuff that was already started with ChIP - and oh boy does it feel like a drag now! C&x is vastly superior. We are a plant lab, and ChIPping plant Mediator was at or beyond the limits of ChIP tech. The thing is simply whether or not it works.
There's a lot of optimisation to be done and it needs to be expanded out of the typical 'human' and 'histone' research area. For example there is no C&x validated GFP antibody! Also no commercially available greenCUT&x enzymes. The tech is in its infancy still but there is massive potential.

My hometown β€οΈ feel free to message me if you need any inside tips for the best way to spend your (free) time there!
CogSci*, even
I don't know the CogDci field but that guy seems like he deserves to be someone's academic hero. But at some point you've got to mature your view of them from hero to respected colleague - around that time you'll be at their level anyway. Osmote their lessons!
I am excited to offer a postdoctoral research position in my lab in Oxford studying the distribution of small RNAs during plant sexual reproduction. shorturl.at/7Goxt
Reposts appreciated!
Obligatory cat video to brighten your day. :-)
Is that why they have that structure with a number of junior group leaders / a-profs working under a full Prof?
That's a beautiful kΔkΔpΕ. One of only 237 left on the planet.
They will be. This won't last forever.
Congratulations!
Perhaps. Certainly Germany is already relatively good at supporting ECRs, but it could be better, and I can't vouch for other European countries. Flagship ideas might have better PR optics but I think increasing early stage funding would improve the foundation for the science community overall.
Another example of rich-get-richer. We didn't need big money to support (or attract to the EU) the big boys who already have it. We needed more low-level seed or supporting funds for ECRs/ scientists who are struggling to keep their employees paid.
The last one nailed it. But really not much has changed in ten years. Just exacerbated existing problems
More new research from the BΓ€urle lab: we extend our understanding of heat-stress memory into monocots! Spoiler alert: it's a bit different to Arabidopsis!

Latest research from the BΓ€urle lab on the function of our favourite memory TF - HSFA2!
Absolutely it's real. My dad used to catch guys like these all the time. It's a big one for sure!
this looks very interesting with numerous implications for nuclear biology and gene expression.

Terrifying if you're not expecting it though!
Shouldn't there be a clear conflict-of-interest statement on this article?
Would very much like to! My boss is one of the keynotes, I'm trying to convince her.
Are you going to this @tamara-hverdeja.bsky.social ?
Great interview Tamara. I also miss those calm, quiet, snowy nights in the deep of winter in UmeΓ₯!
Ironically enough, your response here has a cadence reminiscent of ChatGPT...
Congratulations! Both papers look super interesting. We will have to take some of the latter paper into account when dealing with our heat 'stress' assays
And yes we have sugar in our plates π apparently memory doesn't operate without it, although we haven't looked at this.
I believe our lab did some experiments on (memory) gene expression in dissected seedlings (before my time). Memory was supposedly organ-autonomous, with photosynthetic tissues displaying the largest response. But that was just targeted analysis/qPCR, afaik we haven't done it transcriptome-wide

Hi Kelsey! I'm interested, but I have some questions, I'll send you a message.
