Jehuda Lindenblatt wanted the writer Taffy Brodesser-Akner to tell his story of survival for years. In finally doing so, she reckons with how many people in her generation push away thoughts of the Holocaust to cope, only to find themselves dealing with them anyway.

The Holocaust Story I Said I Wouldn’t Write

For years, my friend’s father asked me to recount his childhood escape from the Nazis. Why did it take me this long?

Happy International Cochlear Implant Day! Over the years we’ve shared so so many stories from families and individuals who are able to benefit from this life-changing technology (which we helped fund in the 1970s and '80s)! Cheers to these miracle ears! #cochlearimplants #keeplistening

Our mentor Casey Brown, apart from being an extraordinary scientist, was a brilliant teacher who loved everything genetics. In his honor, some of the world's leading experts came together to create the 'Casey Brown Lecture Series' on human genetics 1/ shorturl.at/eCm7S

How can some vertebrates naturally recover from deafness? In work in PNAS, Tuo Shi finds that enhancers for sensory genes remain open but silent in sister cells of zebrafish and lizards, allowing these to make new inner ear sensory hair cells upon damage. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Following a suggestion from @benecal.bsky.social I will refer to these threads as "skeetorials" and will use this gif logo. Today's skeetorial is about the NIH Director's New Innovator Award with three different heroes (all in government). 1/n

Our study with @ericjoyce.bsky.social led by Jailynn Harke is out. We show that allelic configurations at the Shh locus are predominately compact in the mouse forebrain, and that long range E-P interactions rely on transcription dependent and independent mechanisms. www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

Multiple allelic configurations govern long-range Shh enhancer-promoter communication in the embryonic forebrain

Harke et al. use sequential DNA-FISH to achieve single-allele resolution of the Sonic hedgehog (Shh) regulatory domain in the mouse forebrain. They show that multiple allelic configurations occur inde...
