There's only ~1 week left for abstract submission for #ASHG25! Get your best stories submitted so we have more fun planning the program. Looking forward to seeing a ton of you genetics researchers in Boston this fall.

So long, and thanks for all the wonderful science discussions, Ann Arbor! It was so fun going back to the department I earned my PhD from to give a seminar. ♥️

Thesis defenses are a giant spot of joy any day. Today is a good science day for @ryan-englander.bsky.social and his amazing mentors @olgaanczukow.bsky.social and Karolina Palucka, who are both fabulous near peer faculty mentors too. Congratulations, all!

A beautiful blustery day in Hartford Connecticut to gather in support of scientific funding and research. Great that @blumenthal.senate.gov showed up, too!

Last garden BLTs of the year! Or maybe we have enough tomatoes for two rounds... The Brandywines kept producing through early November. Most definitely weird, but also delicious.
