The HuSH complex silences retrotransposons in vertebrates. Our latest manuscript introduces HuSH2 and delves into the fascinating interplay of two paralogous HuSH complexes in governing LINE-1 silencing. Credits to @Zena_Jen and @aechristenson. doi.org/10.1101/2023.12.28.5….
My awesome undergrad in the @PeterLewisLab making some fun art! 👏
Anna Christenson studies DNA modifications and how they go wrong! Her design was inspired by the 10 billion mile length of our DNA that dwarfs the 92 million mile distance between Earth and Sun. See designs at the @deltabeerlab event May 20 and at tinyurl.com/DBL2022
Such a great project to work on with @shelby_s_weav and @marie_fiori . Thanks @scipolnetwork @SciPolJournal and @CaSP_UWMadison for bringing us together!
People with periods need tampons/pads, but access to these products varies across WI jails & prisons. Legislation requiring all correctional facilities to provide free products to incarcerated people will protect their health & rehabilitation. doi.org/10.38126/JSPG180416

This exciting issue of JSPG features two memos from CaSPers on green gentrification (@astroJulieDavis, @BrittanyABaur, @salexanderH2O, Ben Bachmann) and access to menstrual products in prisons (@marie_fiori, @Zena_Jen, @shelby_s_weav). Congrats to all authors! Check it out 👇

Excited to share the result of my side project exploring #SciPol! I worked with Wisconsin's Green Fire to put together a report on the state of WI's energy policy and recommended actions to revamp WI's outdated energy system. Read recs in or link below:

Thanks so much to @WISCIENCE and Wisconsin's Green Fire for giving me the opportunity to work on this project!

There are several reasons to think that the new UK #SARSCoV2 variant is an important one as it might be more contagious than other variants, but there are also some uncertainties. So much misinformation is being circulated, so this thread brings key data together. 🧵

In Madison, WI, community groups will now choose the members of a new civilian police oversight board, which must include at least one member who was previously incarcerated.

A lot of the climate section of the VP debate focused on hydraulic fracturing (e.g. fracking). Its a complex subject – one that I've published a few papers about – and worthy of an exceedingly long twitter thread.
