A baby named KJ, who was born with a rare genetic disorder – CPS1 deficiency – is healed thanks to doctors at the @ChildrensPhila who administered the world’s first personalized gene-editing treatment. The research team used base editing, a gene-editing method invented by HHMI Investigator @davidrliu and his lab at @Harvard University in 2016.
Earlier this year, Liu received the @brkthroughprize for developing both base editing and prime editing. These gene-editing technologies enable the correction or replacement of virtually any genetic mutation, including those that cause countless human genetic diseases.
Read more about Liu's work here: hhmi.org/news/david-liu-awar…
Breaking News: A baby with a rare disorder made medical history by receiving the first custom gene-editing treatment. The technique used has the potential to help people with thousands of other uncommon genetic diseases. nyti.ms/4j3xGs8

Exciting news! @wc_ratcliff and I published an essay last week in @Nature reviewing the substantial contributions of 'long-term' studies to evolutionary biology

Agreed! That's why I wrote ggpubfigs, a ggplot2 extension that *only colorblind-friendly color palettes.
Easily make your figures colorblind-friendly with ggpubfigs! nitter.cf/NKWhiteman/status/1852…

Thank you all for your responses. To summarize, these are free/open source alternatives for preparation of scientific illustrations: bioicons.com, scidraw.io, bioart.niaid.nih.gov, inkscape.org
Because of annoying complications with the use of images prepared on BioRender @iamscicomm for publication or presentations, our lab will be exploring open-source alternatives like bioicons.com/ or drawing our own images with Illustrator.

Historically redlined neighborhoods in four of California’s largest cities have significantly lower levels of native and non-native wildlife biodiversity compared to their greenlined counterparts, according to a new @PNASNews study led by @EstienCesar.

Have you ever wondered how seals sleep at sea?
The last chapter of my dissertation, now published in Science, illustrates the intricate sleep-spiraling behavior of northern elephant seals.

New in @Nature! In the first year of the pandemic, we saw a large/abrupt spike in the percent of Black & nonwhite people incarcerated in state prisons nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Application are open for the REU program at @RMBLGothic! A great opportunity to do funded research in the magical rockies. I am accepting undergrad students for projects with bumble bees and climate change (and maybe microbes)! #REU

Our first litter of marmot pups is officially up! New this year: we are doing cheek-swabs as an alternative means of collecting DNA for genetic and epigenetic studies and to sample the oral microbiome. Thank you @stavi_rt for the video! #fieldwork #naturebabies – at Colorado, USA

And the first marmot to be spotted this season is Lambda (left)! He is the 5 year old son of the beloved Dandelion (right) who has ruled the town of Gothic for the past 8 years. Lambda now lives under Richards and has taken over Gothic Heights from his father. #marmotdynasty 👑

Our newest paper on the physiological costs of undocumented human migration is out in @ScienceMagazine today. Special thanks to the incredibly diverse set of co-authors that had to team up to make this work happen. More on the details of the study soon. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Over the past 40 years, long-term, individual-based field studies have been able to use genetic techniques to explore the evolution of social organization and breeding systems in an increasing number of wild mammals.
