Thought I would pop on to share that I’ve just had a review article published yesterday! Check out a review of the studies describing the types of enzymatic processing that occurs to DNA protein crosslinks- here! mdpi.com/2073-4425/15/1/85

(3/3): In a replication-independent and transcription-independent context, DPC repair by NER, but not HR is proteasome dependent.
84
(2/3): Different DPC repair pathways are mediated by different polyubiquitination signals on the DNA-crosslinked protein (K48 and K63).

90
(1/3): A single type of DNA-protein crosslink (DPC) can undergo repair through multiple pathways.

For those that don’t feel like reading the whole paper (please click on the link anyway!) see the findings that I am most excited about below! We show that:

Publication alert! So excited to share that my study titled: “Ubiquitin signaling and the proteasome drive human DNA-protein crosslink repair” has been published in @NAR_Open Click here to read the paper for free: academic.oup.com/nar/advance…

Idk how to identify fungi but this happened to me in the lab a few months ago
It's clearly time to share the spookiest fungi you've got. I'll go first: leaf microfungi, prominently featuring carotenoid-producing orange yeasts (Sporidiobolales) and melanized black yeasts (Aureobasidium). #mycology

jewish law requires an abortion if the fetus is threatening the mother’s life. “religious freedom” in america only ever applies to the white christian masses.

I really wish people would stop drastically using the scenarios of rape or incest as the sole premise for an abortion. A woman doesn’t have to be in a traumatic situation for it to be reason enough. In fact there is zero explanation that needs to be given.

How about science vendors don’t put up products on their website without telling us they wont be available for shipping for another 3 months

What do you use to make posters? Wrong answers only.
While sadly we will never know this brave hero’s name, an anonymous field researcher measured his beard growth when he anticipated seeing his girlfriend on his days off, and concluded that beard growth is stimulated by anticipation of sexual activity nature.com/articles/226869a0

“as we move toward the possibility of #COVID19 becoming endemic” sure is a weird way to say “while we are currently in the middle of the largest #COVID19 surge of this pandemic”

Here’s a pre-exposure antibody therapy that we’ve approved for people who are unable to mount an adequate immune response to vaccines. Oh you’ve been exposed? We have no way of finding out how to get you this treatment, let us know when you’re dying, bye!

Maybe that’s too much to ask idk but it sure would be helpful.

And like that’s where we’re at right now and maybe we wouldn’t be here if people understood how scientists design experiments with controls and how to recognize possibility of false positives and that we can’t prove a hypothesis but can only disprove a hypothesis
