I saw too many debates how hard a graduate student/Postdoc should work. Here is my honest opinion. 1/n
A fun collaboration with @christinerbeck and Jacques Banchereau using long-read sequencing to discover novel cancer associated spliced isoforms. #RNAsplicing #splicing #breastcancer @jacksonlab https://twitter.com/christinerbeck/status/1483914690086457347
It's nice when a paper finally gets out the door; it's nicer to see the final version in print. This was a fun collaboration with our group, @OlgaAnczukow, Diogo Veiga, and Jacques Banchereau. @jacksonlab is a great place to do research.
