Super excited that our paper is out! If you’re interested in yeast mating and meiotic drive check it out and let us know your thoughts! #pombe #fissionyeast #shmoo #wtf

Cup plant bud/bloom ❤️🤩🪴🌸

@ImperfectFunGuy Very cool!

Unfortunate cicada friend in the front yard today 😟 Massospora or something else?

@lethargicbug @ContamClub I would so have kept these as pets

I am super excited that one of the most interesting finding in my lab was published in @NatureMicrobiol !! Have you heard about the fungus that helps carnivorous plants digest insects? 🐜🍃

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…

I found a pretty little thing this evening ❤️🍄

Meet @SarahEGilmour, member of our ECS Multimedia Subcommittee 👋 Read about Sarah's research interests, how her experience in journalism helps her better communicate science, her goals as a leader in this role, & more: bit.ly/3J2sRQ9

@DanielsonAmaral @BazziniLab @ScienceStowers Congrats! 🥳

It’s finally out! 👯🎉🎊 Take a look at our paper on the role of microRNAs on zygotic transcripts during early vertebrate development: @BazziniLab @ScienceStowers doi.org/10.1186/s13059…

I love finding this type of lichen 😍🤩

Pretty microbes (color imparted by food dye) 😍🤩

BioRxiv: Adaptive Mate Selection in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Revealed Through a High-Throughput Mating Assay dlvr.it/T33wTJ

Excited about our latest preprint on recombination variation between species. We found a recurrent loss of crossover interference punctuating the recombination landscape in yeast. Great job from @abhishdt and nice collaboration with Bertrand Llorente! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

This is a story of acceptance ❤️, rejection 💔, and death ☠️... Programmed Cell Death, I mean 😆. Finally the last of the classic #allorecognition (het) genes in #Podospora, het-B, has been cloned and characterized in our new paper in @PLOSGenetics! 1/n journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…

In wild fission yeast, love finds a way on Valentine's Day ❤️

Love turkey tail so much. The variation in color on just one stump blows my mind! ❤️🍄🤩

Got me a baby thai con ❤️🪴 bucket list item crossed off.

@MariangeBravo @CornellMBG Congratulations Maria!

Found some fuzzy Trametes today 🍄🤩

Finally out!! We show that: 1. Quiescent yeast cells contain ribosomes with different compositions. 2. The ribosome composition varies between monosomes and polysomes 
3. Ribosome composition can result in changes in translational activity cell.com/iscience/fullt…
