I still can’t believe that all NIH grants to my colleagues at Harvard and Harvard Medical School have been nullified. And that, as a nation, we’re somehow okay with this illegal, arbitrary, and petty act. Just think of the consequences: scientists, students, and patients will all suffer.

How does Pol IV overcome strong replication blocks in E. coli? Our latest study with @joeloparo.bsky.social uncovers a bipartite clamp interaction that helps Pol IV compete with Pol III, enabling efficient TLS at stalled forks and reducing mutagenesis. buff.ly/3Xbgjxd

Congrats to Irina Shlosman on an amazing defense and thesis! Jointly mentored by Andrew Kruse, Irina single-handedly created a new collaborative project between our two labs investigating the machines that build the bacterial cell wall.
