Excited to share the first preprint from my lab! Transcription has been implicated in regulating SMC complex function, but how this works has been unclear. Here, we use a yeast quiescence model to examine how transcription targets condensin.

Today #NIH leadership were told no funds can go out for research project grants, R&D contracts or training grants. We have just a couple weeks to get funds out the door before Russel Vought attempts a #PocketRescission on Aug 15. Even if this ends up being temporary, it’s time we don’t have.

We need to organize--let’s help each other. NIH is cancelling grants, but it's not clear exactly what they're cancelling and why. Without this information, we can't respond. I've started a Google Sheet to track grant cancellations. Please add any canceled grants you know of and spread the word!
