Some (+)ve news to lighten another heavy weekend: our latest preprint (c/o Mattiroli + Ramani labs) is up! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... A tour-de-force by 1st authors Bruna Eckhardt & @palindromephd.bsky.social, focusing on chromatin replication. RTs welcome; tweetorial in 3,2...(1/n)

The eukaryotic replisome intrinsically generates asymmetric daughter chromatin fibers

DNA replication is molecularly asymmetric, due to distinct mechanisms for lagging and leading strand DNA synthesis. Whether chromatin assembly on newly replicated strands is also asymmetric remains un...

That's me! Thanks to Bob and Linda and Gladstone for the award and thanks to the organizers at @asbmb.bsky.social for giving me the opportunity to share some of our as-yet-unpublished collaborative work between the labs of @vram142.bsky.social and @fmattiroli.bsky.social !

not paying indirect costs for research is like only paying the players in the Super Bowl. can't have a Super Bowl without coaches, referees, security, janitors, announcers, stadium staff, and a stadium - and you can't have research without supporting people and facilities

Indirects fund my lights, desk, bench, computer, data storage, compute server, and the admin who make it so I can spend time doing research instead of scheduling meetings, thinking about budgets, etc. So indirects *are* tied to research, that's why they come with the grant for research.

Here's a cat, for some joy today. (Her name is Llamita and she embodies the concept of "tortitude")

I'm privileged to be pretty healthy and have always had insurance, but even then, I have spent a lot of time and energy fighting insurance. In grad school I had dual coverage, which meant neither insurance wanted to pay and recently my insurance told me that only people under 18 had acne. 🙄🤔

We were supposed to have Christmas together and now I'll never see him again. The driver will be charged with manslaughter but it doesn't feel like enough for the pain they've caused. Don't be like them, if you're under the influence, give someone sober the keys.

My cousin, may he rest in peace, had a wonderful fiance, a beautiful sister, a caring father... He had me, his other cousins, his aunts and uncles, his friends. And now we are all poorer without him because someone chose to get on the road under the influence.

Hannah J. Richter @palindromephd.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

If you choose to operate a vehicle when you are not sober, I have no respect for you and would urge you to make better choices for the sake of others on the road. In an instant, you can permanently affect the lives of someone's family and friends.

The tsunami warning when I'm trying to coordinate finally bringing home my cat from the emergency vet after 3 days is wild. My emotions are very on edge.

Super recommend following the Groth lab and checking out their work - they're great collaborators too!

Adjuncting, but we got 2 days of "fall break" at Indigenous People's day + Tues, but then this week we have class M-W. Not expecting great attendance on Wednesday.

Nothing against you, I'm sure! Just trying to sympathize between two people who have had a hard time. It's a far worse feeling when you think you're the only one. I don't know the editor's name in either case.

First internship: vacuumed the slice of rat brain rather than the staining media because I didn't lift the bucket. It was one of only two samples from a 3-yr old rat. The postdoc I was working with was very nice about it, but I still cried.

I know a PI who had a similar experience at Nat Comm maybe 4-5 years ago and has not submitted a manuscript there since. Very poor editorial handling seems to be a theme.

I also have two cats, like to go on little hikes, swim regularly (swam D3 back in college), and read novels and play video games when I have time (Stardew, Zelda, and Sims are my standbys). I also have a wonderfully supportive spouse, family, and friends who I am always grateful for. 💕

In fall of 2025 I will be applying for faculty positions, primarily in combined teaching/research positions. I'm excited to find a department to call home that allows me to play around with scientific pedagogy and keep doing cool research with amazing students. I am nervous about this process! 🙃

I am currently adjuncting at USF here in San Francisco, teaching an upper-level survey course in biochemistry for 18 wonderful students. I've also hosted quite a few interns in the lab and plan to continue doing so as much as possible. 👩‍🏫

I study chromatin biology using long-read sequencing in a wide variety of contexts, both in vitro and in vivo. (Hi to my lovely collaborators!) I am originally trained at the bench but am currently heavily computational and always trying to pick up new techniques to answer new questions. 🤔
