Hey y'all, I'd like networking reposts if you can. Georgios Skiniotis and I are pleased to announce a unique faculty position at St. Jude, and we're both particularly excited about what this search could become. It is a true joint strategic effort between the Center of Excellence for Structural Cell Biology and the Division of Neuronal Cell Biology in the Department of Developmental Neurobiology. The CoE-SCB is an intellectual community of investigators developing and applying emerging structural and cellular imaging approaches to understand biological mechanisms directly within cells and tissues. The Division of Neuronal Cell Biology and Department of Developmental Neurobiology bring a complementary culture centered on fundamental questions of neuronal development, organization, and function, with deep expertise in advanced cellular imaging. We are looking for the rare scientist who pursues important questions in neuronal cell biology wherever they lead and brings advanced structural and cellular imaging to bear. If the intersection between cryo-ET or vEM and neuronal cell biology feels like your scientific home, take a look. Application link to follow in the post below👇

Very excited to share a new review with @themazelab, born out of my PhD work! 🧠🧬 We dive into how early life experiences shape the epigenetic landscape of the developing brain—and how these lasting changes may contribute to risk for affective disorders.

In a new Science study, researchers show that chromatin exists as a hydrogel that undergoes a volume phase transition between condensed and uncondensed states that correspond to regions of gene activity and silence, respectively. Learn more in a new #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/4x2vkRX
