23 pairs! The magic chromosome count that helps humans thrive. Could we thrive if all our #DNA were arranged in two chromosomes? This study with yeast reveals how #chromosome size & number impact cell division, including spindle scaling, dynamics, & gene essentiality. (🧵1/2)

23 pairs! The magic chromosome count that helps humans thrive. But what if all our DNA were arranged in just two chromosomes? In this study, we explore this question using budding yeast. 🧵 (1/6) cell.com/current-biolog…

We are hiring New PIs/Assistant Professors! Stowers is a fantastic place to be a researcher and a PI (I might be a bit biased, but it’s true!). Plus, Kansas City offers a great quality of life and affordability. Come join us for your next scientific adventure!

Thank you to our amazing gurus Leadership Sculptor GmbH, Melanie Glickman, and to my fellow attendees for such an incredible experience! I highly recommend this course to any PI—whether new or aspiring!

Way to go, Raisa! We were thrilled to have you with us and are so glad that you had a meaningful #StowersGrad Summer Scholar experience!

Well done Charles Cooper - your PhD work just published 😀nature.com/articles/s4146… I think we've only scratched the surface with this... H-NS allowing bacteria to direct their own evolution. Exciting times ahead...

I guess the biggest WEALTH that Mohnish Pabrai has been generating silently is this ❤️❤️ The ROCE on this is untouchable ⚡️ What a story is unravelling in front of us. Next time I am at any of these IIT’s will definitely look for them ✅ #Happiness Dakshana Foundation #IIT

Please join us in congratulating Kaelan Brennan, predoctoral researcher in the Julia Zeitlinger (@[email protected]) Lab, on a successful thesis defense! Well done. #PhD #GradSchool

Excited to share our latest paper from Dr. Jasmin Camacho 🦇🔬☠️🧠☀️ and Andrea Bernal Stowers Institute. It’s the labs first dive🐟 into mammalian biology, and the findings are sweet🌸🍯. We found that nectar🦇 tolerate the highest ever recorded blood sugar. Check it out! nature.com/articles/s4155…

It's out in Cell!!! Super proud bug- and structural virologist moment; my paper about using CryoEM to discover, diagnose, characterize, and mitigate a nationwide agricultural pandemic is now published online 😄🐛🪲 cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

We ended last week with great #OpenMicScience presentations from Daniel Acheampong, Emma Moore Zajic, and Ameya Mashruwala. 👏 #biology

😲This is so cool!

The little helmet.. 😅

😂

We had a blast at #CRC24. Thanks to the Crossroads Committee for a fantastic meeting and for letting us start off with a discussion on bacteria!
