This study led by Sasha’s group
@nyumedpostdocs.bsky.social reveals the mechanisms of de-capping Np4N, a noncanonical initiating nucleotide for RNAP. It binds substrates in two orientations, so target-mimic drugs might fail if one still works! Glad we contributed to this work! Congs to team!
Now on bioRxiv! Astrocytes in one brain region (cyan) communicate in expansive networks (magenta). Through tool development, tissue clearing, and many hours on our @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social Z1, we now know these networks are repeatable across mice, plastic, and specific.

As I make a living giving presentations, it might surprise you to know that I had a fear of public speaking. During #gradschool and #postdoc years I gave presentations. I also♥️ #scicomm and participated in many events for my institutions, the MRC and @awisnational.bsky.social.
