- Happy to have renewed my Howard Hughes Medical Institute (@HHMINEWS) investigator’s position @RockefellerUniv. Looking forward to the next 7 years of freedom for my team and our collaborators to pursue the science they are passionate about. Thank you!
- Today we publish 1st @HumanPangenome Reference Consortium primary research paper @Nature. Highlights: Near #T2T complete & error-free diploid human genome; phasing haplotypes in assembly graph is best; 50% of total genetic variation is in the centromeres
- First female Vice President of the United States. There is hope after all. google.com/amp/s/amp.thea…
- Getting ready, psyched & honored to give the opening Society for Neuroscience #SfN17 Presidential Lecture. My biggest yet: seats for 9000 people. Come hear new ideas on language mechanisms & evolution. Thank you Tianqiao & Chrissy Chen Institute for support.
- I was very moved today. Walking home before curfew, ran into a sea of protestors on Central Park East, 15 blocks long, many front line health care heroes, @RockefellerUniv students, & more supporting #BlackLivesMatter. I felt they were fighting for my Justice & Peace, and theirs.
- The first time I have to close my lab in 22 years. The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting us all in many ways. Let’s all be part of the solution. @RockefellerUniv @DukeU
- @HHMINEWS announced an incredible program to enhance diversity in the sciences, $2 billion over 10 years ($200M/year), from the undergrad to tenured faculty pipeline. Should move the needle above 3 (1.2%) African American Investigators that I am part of. diversity.hhmi.org
- I'm hiring 2 postdocs in neurobiology to explore function of vocal circuitry in mice, using viral/transgenic neuroengineering to augment their behavior. Looking for people w/ a strong background in ephys or molecular bio. Please share or get in touch tif interested! Info in pic.
- The SPINAL FRONTIER is here. Check out our Vertebrate Genomes Project #VGPFlagship paper & 18 other studies in a special issue of @Nature & other journals. It began with the Anna's hummingbird, and now on the path to produce high-quality genomes of all 70K species. @genomeark
- Every year since it started, I have helped review @HHMINEWS Hanna Gray Fellows. They are some of the best scientists I have ever seen. HHMI Commits $30 Million to Increase Diversity in Science with 21 Hanna Gray Fellows in 2021 hhmi.org/news/hhmi-comm…
- Joseph Graves @gravesjl55 and I were asked to write a letter about science and racial justice. If you agree with the principles of the letter, please sign and RT. An Open Letter: Scientists and Racial Justice the-scientist.com/news-opinion/a…
- I strongly support impeachment of Donald Trump to remove him from office. Don't be afraid to speak up to let the public and senators know, even when Republicans are pushing a #ShamTrial. My ancestors were enslaved, with not enough people speaking up. Please speak, RT.
- Selfie of historical moment. After 116 years, 1st @RockefellerUniv Women prof Dr. Kreek escorted by 1st African American prof at graduation
