Latest research from the Bäurle lab on the function of our favourite memory TF - HSFA2!
Promoter and domain swap analysis delineates heat stress memory-specific determinants of heat shock factor HSFA2
The function of the transcription factor HSFA2 in heat-stress induced transcriptional memory maps to functional domains within the protein.

this looks very interesting with numerous implications for nuclear biology and gene expression.

Congratulations! Both papers look super interesting. We will have to take some of the latter paper into account when dealing with our heat 'stress' assays

I just published: Stop displaying journal names on your slides

A mentoring event at a Congress called for better support of early-career scientists - but what followed sent mixed signals. This blog reflects on those moments and ends with a pledge.

Shame on you @royalsociety.org . The damage Musk and his DOGE cronies have done to US and international science will be felt for decades. This is directly within your mandate and you have failed to act. That makes you both cowards and complicit with whatever comes next.
Elon Musk survives as fellow of Royal Society despite anger among scientists
Questions remain over whether further action will be taken after resignations and calls for the Tesla CEO to be expelled

On January 6th, 1995, my (now ex) wife and I boarded a flight from Heathrow to JFK on a one way ticket. We had two suitcases and about $900 in cash - this was everything we owned and we were moving to the US. We thought it was maybe for 2-3 years. I had visited the US once, for a conference, and
