    A 1,000,000th reminder the crucial importance of basic research. Ambros and Ruvkun were looking into understanding nematode genetics and development, not looking for a drug, and ended up opening an entire new area in biology

    Officially D̶r̶.̶ Prof. Ulitsky (w/ tenure). It took a village of lab members, collaborators, friends, and mentors, and I'm very grateful to all of them!

    The saddest thing about doing science is that >90% of the 'Eureka!' moments are not when you discover something new, but rather when you understand why the experiment went wrong

    Next week is the 42nd time my lab will run the journal club (JC) in a lab meeting in the 'collaborative' format, which we do 1/month, and I think it is the ultimate journal-club format, so a 🧵 about it

    📢📰🔍Our (w/ @jp_unfried) Perspective on "Substoichiometric action of long noncoding RNAs" out in @NatureCellBio : nature.com/articles/s4155… Originally titled "Outnumbered but not outgunned" we discuss how lncRNAs can occasionally have a big impact while being lowly expressed.
