Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's a dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n

🎉bioRxiv & medRxiv are now managed by openRxiv, a new independent nonprofit. This transition allows for more flexibility and innovation. Our community-centered mission remains being a free service to authors ensuring rapid sharing of scientific information before peer review. 🧵

As the public's relationship with cannabis changes, so should national policy. Again, we call on public health officials to do more to educate the public on the potential harms of cannabis use, especially on the brain 🧠
Read about my work and the @theNASEM's report 👇🏾
Dr. Yasmin Hurd's research focuses on the impact of cannabis on neurodevelopment, especially among those at risk of substance use disorder. Now, w/ increasing potency & little regulatory oversight, her work plays a key role in a call for better education. reports.mountsinai.org/artic…

What an end to the year! Our work is out in @NAR_Open! 🎉 We mapped #interactomes of both #ADAR1 isoforms during homeostasis & #interferon response.
Thanks to the members of MOC group (@cheriyanna) at @CEITEC_Brno and collaborators from @Varjosalo_Lab!

A short in memoriam for our beloved Daniele.
Missing him every day.
Thank you @BiophysicalSoc for giving me the chance to remember him.

It is with a broken heart that I share the news of the sudden passing of my dear friend and collaborator Daniele Di Marino, PI of @mollab_univpm.
Daniele was a brilliant mind, a force of nature, and a generous heart.
I will miss him enormously.
Ciao Dani ❤️
