Had to renovate and update a part of my office for students and fellows. New desks and chairs with new paint on the wall make a huge difference in the room. We are ready for a new start and a new year.
Our R01 finally transferred to UT Dallas.
I requested the transfer at the end of August and a notice of award is now active. The transfer took three months - as the NIH guideline suggested. I am still waiting on our R21 to transfer; I suspect this will take a bit longer.
Harvard beats Yale!

When was the last time you have seen fireworks on any campus? Not since my days at Reed College have I witnessed such a cool event!

New Course Offering in the Spring
I am offering a new graduate level course on Epigenetics in the Spring 2015 (advanced undergraduates are welcome). I am looking forward to presenting recent advances in this exciting field of biology and to participating in exciting discussions with the students about the current developments and what might lie ahead. Hope to see you!
New Book
Received a copy of another book that has come out. It contains our chapter on protein-DNA interactions.
