Last week, Washington University made the perhaps questionable decision to award me tenure.
Ben Garcia stands in front of a bookcase lined with past printed issues of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, which have green covers and gold lettering. He is holding one of the journals open to his 2007 article "Organismal Differences in Post-translational Modifications in Histones H3 and H4."
Full circle moment!
While visiting ASBMB for a Maximizing Access Committee meeting, @garcialabms.bsky.social spotted one of his early JBC papers.

That’s my daughter! 🤩
represent the United States as a scientific ambassador. I'm so thankful for this opportunity and look forward to my time in São Paulo. Looking forward to making as many connections with scientists in Brazil as I can!
Happy to share that I have been named a Fulbright Scholar. I will spend short periods in Brazil over the next two summers to begin new research collaborations and teach a short course. Its always been a dream of mine to one day be a part of this historic program to further global exchanges and 1/2
