Great news for yeast tetrad dissectors: Singer has stepped up in the wake of the closure of Cora Styles Needles N Blocks to make dissection needles. My lab manager beta tested them & deemed them, and I quote, "flawless." So glad to have a new source! www.singerinstruments.com/product/sing...

🚨🧪New lab preprint: "We therefore propose a model for cytoskeletal evolution in which pools of microtubule network components constrain and guide the diversification of the entire network, so that the evolution of tubulin is inextricably linked to that of its binding partners." tinyurl.com/27ck46nb

Early work found no REM in sleeping echidna, suggesting REM sleep arose in other mammals after diverging from monotremes. Later work discovered REM in the only other living monotreme genus. What do platypuses look like when dreaming, you ask?
