Lovely New Yorkers!!
Dropped my wallet on a bus in a low-income neighborhood of NYC last week. Bus driver handed it to me when I returned with $200 and credit cards inside. Great hosts of US Open 🎾.

If you're interested in chromosome biology (DNA folding, gene regulation, replication, polymer modelling and more) we're organising the below this autumn. It'd be great to see you there. Please share if you can. :-)
