Our latest publication by @jessel-ap.bsky.social is out in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social. We show that DNA damage in late mitosis triggers an ATM-dependent increase in RNF126 and BRAP, which promote cell survival under these conditions.

Today I kicked off No Kings Day with hundreds of fired up patriots at NIH who are standing up to this lawless president.
Together we said NO to his attacks on public health.
NO to his assault on our Constitution.
NO to kings in America.
And YES to standing up for our democracy.
No Kings! In Pasadena

www.nature.com/articles/s41... saw @lablegube.bsky.social present this last week. Provides important clarity on RNA at chromosomal DSBs. Including rigorously debunking the nascent synthesis idea.
Exciting to have 3 days to focus on this pathway.
It’s been a long time coming! Grateful to all co-authors and colleagues who supported this study, especially @yilanfan.bsky.social 🙌 We have been working on this complex for nearly 3 years together and finally managed to tame it. MRN gave us Many Restless Nights, but we’re More Relaxed Now 😎

Gearing up to head to Paris for nhej2025.sciencesconf.org but indulging in some LA delicacies before I go.
I’ve met many raw milk is healthy, we already have the cure for cancer, immunizations are dangerous, HIV isn’t the cause of AIDS people. As a scientist I thought it important to counter with respect and logic, and wonder how we are failing at public health. No more. New response - “that’s stupid!”
I am delighted to announce that the UW Department of Biochemistry has opened searches for TWO tenure-track positions.
