Are you a DNMT3 enthusiast wondering how they achieve specificity at CpG islands during development? And why is DNMT3B specifically required for methylation on the inactive X? We set out to dissect the mechanism, now published in Genes & Development genesdev.cshlp.org/content/earl... [1/12]

Scientific talent is universal;access is not. Limited resources & mentorship can make scientific careers harder — something I experienced myself. Returning to my alma mater reminded me why supporting aspiring scientists matters deeply. I hope my insights helped students see what’s possible for them.

I left inspired by the energy and promise in that room, and hopeful that with the right support, these young scientists will take on the world in ways that matter. Their curiosity, resilience, and ambition are powerful.

It was amazing to come to Heidelberg and attend the #EMBLChromatin meeting (after attempting to secure a visa for 3 years!!). Many thought provoking talks and an excellent opportunity to learn, network, and, meet old and new friends. Not too bad getting the poster prize either. 🧬👩🏻‍🔬

It's amazing to be in the sunny Barcelona for #CRGBIpostdocs symposium and to be presenting my postdoc work. Many thanks to the organizers for the excellent opportunity. Great science shared and more to come tomorrow.
