I officially defended my dissertation today! A big thank you to all my supporters! #DrErikStricker #PhD
274 pages and 53,490 words later, I finally submitted my completed dissertation thesis. My defense date is set for June 21! #phdlife #almostdone #MileStone
I am excited to officially announce the publication of our CancerHERVdb database. We hope that this Endogenous Retrovirus Expression Database for Human Cancer will help many by providing cross-study comparisons. #HERV @JVirology journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jv…
I'm listening to the Hunger Games audiobook right now. I think this a good preparation for my dissertation thesis defense on June 21. #phdlife #HungerGames
It's the big day. My BIOL1152 lab students are giving their final poster presentations. #professorchaos #biology #teacher
🧵📢 We need to retain talented postdocs in academic science. I'm happy to say that @HHMINEWS has taken a big step forward this week. $70,000 That's the new starting minimum salary for all postdocs employed in HHMI labs hhmi.org/sites/default/… (1/4)
HHMI is implementing a new salary scale for HHMI-employed postdoctoral researchers, effective April 9, 2023. (1/4) hhmi.news/3Uwl2am

Cancer cells are alarming and we should listen. Deep learning analyses showed that cancer cells shout virus to signal to immune cells that something is wrong. Looking for virus-indicating emergency signals might be the future of cancer treatments. #HERVs doi.org/10.1038/s42256…
Viruses impact cellular genomes everywhere! Bacteria & archaea have prophages, vertebrates have ERVs – and protists? Thousands of endogenous Polinton-like viruses and virophages! Great detective work by @CMBellas, @th4ckl, @R_Sommaruga and coworkers! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

The number a genome region is sequenced (depth) and identification of institutional/technical variation are important in studying ancient viruses in human genomes. Higher depth boosts confidence while accounting for variation enables dataset comparison. doi.org/10.1186%2Fs129…
Which video game series makes you feel like this… 👀
Whenever I read Numbers 13:30-31 (biblia.com/bible/niv/numb…), I always wondered how the Israelites could be doubtful when God promised to help fight the tall, intimidating Canaanites. However, now that I am in the last stretch of my PhD I developed great empathy. #PhDlife #almost
Z-DNA, once a mythical unicorn in science, now biologically relevant. This review article shows how Z-DNA can lead to the activation of ancient viruses in the genome. #HERV #structuralbiology #newadvances #ZDNA #DNAstructure doi.org/10.14348/molce…
Happy Easter! May the beauty of spring remind us of the wonder of creation and the power of new life. Wishing you a season of growth, renewal, and discovery.
Too much sweets are not good for you. From now on, I'll call my circular graphs pizza charts. #Datavisualization
What it feels like when you finally get to publish that large paper you have been working on for years.@Biomed_MDPI #HERVs and #Cancer #Review #science #Memes pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36979914/
I invented the Pi-pen today. I never have to look for my pen again! Extremely handy when preparing three 96-well plates. Should I patent it? #PiPen #labhacks #ScienceTwitter #inventor #TiredFromPipetting
