Great work Floris! You’re on a role.
The White House Office of Management and Budget is moving to take more control of billions of dollars in federal grants. Critics say the proposed change would jeopardize the integrity of U.S. science. n.pr/4uNA78T
Great work from the Barthel lab! Happy to see this out in it's final version!
Earth day. As it turns out Earth is one of my favorite places to hang out. All kidding aside I spend all the free time I can in the woods and on the rivers of the West. Unfortunately we’re facing headwinds for protecting these places in the US. We’ve got to take care of this place.
New preprint! We used Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing to ask: does chromosome-arm-specific telomere length shape how IDH-mutant astrocytoma genomes evolve? Short answer: yes, and in two opposite directions.

It’s #earthday! Sad to see some of the most pristine parts of the US under threat for short term gains and political reasons.
This pic I took in my fav part of the US on the Utah/AZ border.
I defended my PhD 10 years ago today. That was the least remarkable thing that happened that day. Sharing something I wrote about it last year. Since then "the horrors persist but so do we." And with dignity.

The human genome's most variable and clinically important regions (centromeres, telomeres, and acrocentric short arms) have been hardest to study at scale. Thrilled to share KaryoScope, our new preprint that brings them within reach. 🧵
