Exciting opportunity to work in Paris, in the middle of the Jardin des Plantes!
As a twin, ( my mother had two sets of twins), whose maternal grandmother had twins, and with twins on both sides of my family, I found this article on Nigeria's self-proclaimed capital of twins fascinating.
Not sure, but feels like one thing about genes that is generally not popular knowledge is that it is all about interacting chemical gradients over time. So uhh if trying an analogy here… more like building sounds with a synth than blueprints of a building. Maybe someone actually expert in this has a better popularization? #genetics#biology

Here's one of the few more modern articles I found about this Arc gene and how brains work. "Arc Regulates Transcription of Genes for Plasticity, Excitability and Alzheimer’s Disease" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9405677/
American geneticist Nettie Stevens died #OTD in 1912.
In 1905, Stevens published a pivotal paper detailing her observations on the mealworm beetle, Tenebrio molitor. She identified that male mealworms had a pair of unequal-sized chromosomes, while females had two X chromosomes. This discovery supported the theory that sex is determined by specific chromosomes, a significant advancement in the field of genetics.
#Cheese lovers beware: the days of Camembert could be numbered. A lack of microbial diversity risks driving the famed French cheese to the brink of extinction. Researchers say a single #mould strain known as Penicillium camemberti, which is essential for the production of camembert, is now unable to reproduce. This has led to a collapse in its genetic make-up, threatening its survival and that of the iconic cheese along with it.

Wow, what this company did to these families is so terrible! And the story reflects so horribly on everyone involved in genetics, prenatal testing, private labs, etc.
I'm grateful for people like the ex-employees who were willing to speak up, and also for CBC for doing this kind of investigation.
Happy birthday to Canadian geneticist Irene Ayako Uchida (1917-2013)! She is shown surrounded by chromosones, with anomalies (pink arrows) due to radiation exposure, based on 1 of her research papers. A strand of DNA is hidden in the image (her watchband).
Uchida didn’t set out to be a scientist. She was studying English literature at UBC, before she was interned with other Canadians of Japanese heritage during WWII. 🧵1/
Genetic analysis has shed light on a long-standing mystery surrounding the fates of President George Washington’s younger brother Samuel and his kin. Two of Samuel’s descendants and their mother were recently identified from skeletal remains found in unmarked burials dating back to the 1880s, CNN Reports: https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/28/us/george-washington-descendants-dna-study-scn/index.html
