Stockholm subway art: very cool

I am honored to work with the people of San Francisco to bring Anchor Brewing, this dream, back to life.

I landed in Berlin tired and hungry and wanting easy food, and then I remembered Dolores, the burrito place named after my neighborhood. They were amused when I pointed out my house on the giant wall map. (Annotation added in the photo, not on their wall!)

TIL there is a word in ancient Greek (Kakotherēs) that means “bad at summer” or “unfit for summer” and it pleases me to know that this has been going on for thousands of years for I too am bad at summer

Arjun Raj Mark Budde uri alon In case it's helpful to anyone, I posted the evolving set of talk tips that I share with my lab on our website. Scroll to bottom of this page: elowitz.caltech.edu/teaching. (It was once "10 commandments" but has since expanded to 25...the slide titles are currently number 5)

Congratulations to grad student Sahim Wallace on his HHMI Gilliam fellowship! I'm excited that he and I get to be part of this amazing cohort.

I was lucky to meet Maxine Singer at a Carnegie Institution anniversary gala when Nick was faculty there. We had a memorable, fascinating conversation. What a great life in science. nytimes.com/2024/07/10/sci…

Worst user interface decision: Signal silently dropping messages when your iphone app is out of date. The sender doesn't know, and you don't look at the app if you have no notifications, so you never notice. Why not put a badge on the icon to show an update is needed?

I say Kamala's Converse sneakers qualify her as our first Gen X president-to-be, no matter her age. She's got my vote! And my sneakers.

3D radar reconstruction of yesterday's massive (>150,000 acre) single-day growth on the #ParkFire. The entire eastern flank of the fire lit up at varying intervals, yielding a sprawling 35+ mile long fire front with multiple deep plume cores.

I give the same advice (for free, so take it or leave it) every time: read widely When you read a paper that makes you wish you’d written it, for whatever reason, write down the lab (and the first author if they’re a postdoc). With that list, ask around to filter Then reach out

Excited to share our work on alternative splicing (AS) rdcu.be/dSHtu. This version, compared to the biorXiv one, is much more succinct due to word limits; I hope you will have a look. Congrats to Benjamin Fair and Carlos Buen Abad for their incredible work!🧵⬇️

Lab alum Carlos Buen Abad Najar went on to do cool postdoc work on one of my favorite topics, alternative splicing and NMD!

Shared governance is a large part of what has kept Berkeley such a good place for academic science. A rare holdout.

Exciting work from Jinyoung Kim and Nick Ingolia enabling pooled CRISPRi screens in human cells by barcoded RNA readout. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
