honored to receive the community engagement award this year 😊 we made an onboarding handbook for *ALL* postdocs at Cornell, and we organize monthly professional development workshops for postdocs across departments - truly a team effort!! news.cornell.edu/stories/2026...

Super excited to share my postdoctoral work at @imbavienna.bsky.social @viennabiocenter.bsky.social - We discovered that some retrotransposons, or "jumping genes" 🧬, are able to spread from cell to cell via a new viral infectivity route. A short thread: 🧵👇 (1/7)

Thrilled to see this published today! Truly special because we made the initial discovery >15 yrs ago! We found two copies of a human gene called BC200 embedded in a human poxvirus. BC200 blurs the line between gene & transposon—both functional & mutagenic! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧵1/n

Delighted to share our first preprint of the lab! We introduce TEgment, a new RNA-seq pipeline that classifies TE expression into distinct structural modalities, distinguishing functional TE activity from transcriptional noise! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

The problem is in fact a solved one! John Lovell's github package GENESPACE can make riparian plots that are auto-ordered to minimise crossing, if you use the correct presets! github.com/jtlovell/GEN...
