Congratulations Dr Kunchala!! 💕💕

Writing is an absolutely critical skill… and one that can be improved dramatically. Doing so requires not just repetitions, but deliberate efforts to improve. Some tips here: docs.google.com/document/d/1jB…

Excited to attend and participate at American Society for Cell Biology #cellbio2023! Looking forward to meeting old friends and new. I'll be presenting a lightning talk (at the Evolutionary Cell Biology subgroup) + poster (Dec 5th at 12:15, P3146-board B711) on the selfish genes, wtfs!

Friends visiting #cellbio2023 this year, I have something interesting to share. Come visit my talk at Minisymposium: Genome Architecture in Space and Time Talk: Sunday, December 3, 6:05-6:20pm, Room 210C. Stowers Institute Jennifer Gerton

Always a great time at Friday Science Club, especially when your co presenter is as cool as Kuan-Chih!! Thanks to everyone for the great discussions.

Calling all yeast folks – you’re familiar with resources like databases, knowledgebases, and stock centers, including S. pombe model organism knowledgebase. Support the funding and growth of these resources by citing them in-text in your next paper! bit.ly/3yjMG3a #Genetics #Genomics

I call this ‘A Slice of Life’, and all the colourful blobs are fission yeast cells in different life stages. #sciart #pombe #science

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…

A great start to the Centromere Biology GRC with keynote talks from ⁦Rachel O'Neill Lab⁩ and ⁦Andrea Musacchio⁩ - representing the centromere DNA and the centromere proteins, respectively. Thanks to ⁦Barbara Mellone⁩ for being an epically fantastic co-chair.

Over and out for the Centromere Biology GRS! Great talks, great panel discussion, and a great intro to the GRC week ahead! Thanks to everyone who helped make these two days a success!

Please join us in welcoming the 10 brilliant new predocs of the 2024 class! We're eager to see the amazing contributions you'll bring to our community. #GradSchool #PhD #Biology

In the latest publication of SaraH Zanders 🎃💀(tinyurl.com/54z6dndm), I worked on understanding the evolution of multiple wtf meiotic drivers. The key motivation was to understand how fission yeast can have multiple poison-antidote meiotic drivers segregating in their populations.
