BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly furious that FIFA, Spain, and every sports news network have edited him out of the photos of the World Cup trophy celebration before posting them online.

@TriggerLoop Tailgating?

@TriggerLoop No reference to work from the Arndt Lab?

@TriggerLoop Same here. I was Peg: 15+, SLFs: 2 this afternoon. Seemed like a decent effort

@TriggerLoop Did you find the backups on 2 Cd?

@TriggerLoop Oh no. For real? (Peg here). Did they get you a backup?

@chrstn_e @TrumanLab @Rubenstein_Lab Meh: the frogger is definitely takes some finesse

@Rubenstein_Lab @chrstn_e @TrumanLab Actually, the @ArndtLab now uses a multi channel and 96 well Plates, and then plates using a frogger: Sigma R2383. Expensive, but huge time saver. We scan plates with an Epson scanner. Perfection V600 photo. Also very old

@KevinDKohl Uh, Edge, Firefox and Chrome all have that option too. Which I exploit at every power outage with my windows desktop (peg) (yes, I need to get a battery backup!)

@HainerLab @MTLeeLab Thanks. The one shelf here and there was what I was trying to avoid. And we already have stuff in @MTLeeLab that I've been waiting to move out once we got ours cleaned. 26 years of strains etc just adds up (and we have old JM stuff)

@ArndtLab I bet if you asked around a few people could loan a shelf. I know @MTLeeLab loaned us a shelf a month or so ago, and we have some space that we could reorganize and give some space.

Pittsburgh scientists: has anyone heard of a service that RENTS -80s? Our freezer needs a defrost and all the Bio Dept emergency ones are full.

@susaopina @chrstn_e @yeast_papers To the best of my knowledge, we have not worked with W303 and this deletion. Following...

Does anyone know whether RTF1 deletion is dead or very sick at 37ºC in the W303 background? It's ts- in some backgrounds, but I'm not sure about W303 @ArndtLab @chrstn_e @yeast_papers

@chrstn_e Fragile Nucleosome alone, impacted so many, especially early in the pandemic. Add in all the undergrads you mentored so far... and your scientific contributions. I hope you are proud of what you accomplished so far. I look forward to watching you continue to succeed-peg

Looking forward! Two amazing stories about chromatin&transcription in yeast, one of them from my friend and #FragileNucleosome co-organizer @chrstn_e, what more could I want!

@TriggerLoop That tweet was tagged and removed. Glad I missed it (peg)

@chrstn_e Just never answer with "yes?" Scammer alert (but on the other hand, who answers unknown numbers?!). I now go with.. "uh huh?" (Peg)

@BoyleLab Yes! Same thing I noticed in Regent Square. And... MASKS! (Peg)

Party in Sq hill: wait till both lights are red. Run into intersection and dance. Once one light turns green leave intersection. Repeat.

@jengoefried Lots of noise in my neighborhood (peg), dogs, horns shouting

You did it, Pennsylvania!!

@yeastychic @McMurraylab I was training a new person on the dissection scope. A whole new experience with Covid distancing and precautions! (Peg)
