Somatic mutations accumulate in “normal” non-cancerous tissues (blood, skin, liver). But why are mutant clones selected? Do they merely proliferate more, selfishly? Or can clones adapt to disease? Could they protect tissues? We shed light on this: authors.elsevier.com/a/1gua9… 1/10

I have noticed this cultural change as well. It is really nice :). I will say that at Penn, we are blessed to have a lot of supportive senior faculty, so the change is less noticeable here :).

Same (which I only realized very recently). In elementary school I ran into some kids whose debating strategy was to put their fingers in their ears and shout "I can't hear you!" whenever you tried replying to them. Apparently some academics have not outgrown this.
If you see Alex Crits-Christoph tweeting insults about me (e.g. saying that I don't understand his COVID-19 origins papers), keep in mind that I cannot respond to these tweets because he has blocked me. I was actually responding to one such tweet when the block went into effect.

In my experience, RNA-seq (while better than qPCR) is still not particularly accurate. See here for comparison to RNA FISH. And that's on a *log* scale. Accuracy is actually quite poor, even if it gets broad strokes right.

New instruments are emerging in single-cell and single-molecule proteomics. A feature article in @naturemethods explains how this will offer labs a choice of technologies. go.nature.com/3mDojI5

Great news! Together with @sjtans & @The_Ban_Lab, we are among this year's recipients of a Synergy Grant from @ERC_Research. This marks the beginning of an exciting journey into a mechanistic analysis of the biogenesis of protein complexes 🧬
