Thrilled to announce that our first PhD student Emily Feierman just won the UPenn Flexner Award for best 2024 Neuroscience Thesis. We couldn't be prouder. Check out her published paper here with a second paper already submitted. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

"A histone post-translational modification linked to lifelong susceptibility to stress in mice"
An excellent overview of our work on H3K27me1 in @medical_xpress.
Thanks to Lily Armstrong-Davies for the lovely Cover Art: The Weight of a Histone. I'll frame it in my office!

Contacting co-authors over the summer:
Europeans: I am away for 2 months. Please email in September.
Americans: Looks good. What journal are you submitting to? Want to write a grant on this?
Canadians: The manuscript looks wonderful!! Here are some edits. How else can we help??

New CSHL Assistant Professor Katherine Alexander specializes in nuclear speckles (the proteins and RNA housed in the nucleus). Exploring their potential influence on gene regulation could lead to enhanced cancer patient outcomes. cshl.edu/katherine-alexander…
Check out our new publication out today! We found that the histone H2B variant, H2BE is widely expressed and functions to open chromatin at promoter regions. In neurons it controls expression of synpatic genes and promotes memory formation.

A huge congrats to @efeierman, our lead author and newly minted PhD and to the whole team. We couldn't have done this without multiple others in the lab and incredible collaborators from the labs of @Yael_David__ , @hao_wu_7, and @Fuccillomarc .
