AlphaFold protein structures now on SGD protein pages, now you can explore these comprehensive structural predictions directly within SGD for your favorite #yeast proteins
check it out: www.yeastgenome.org/locus/set1/p...

What’s your favorite use of the lac operon or the yeast Gal promoter system?
Would love to include some hot takes in a lecture tomorrow 😉

Yesterday I learned a former undergrad submitted his thesis work to Nature and a first author publication (I actually got teary when he told me). He’s one of my best ever— great scientist, great person and no matter what happens I am so thrilled for him.

It seems academic science Twitter has moved to Bluesky, Hi!!!
I’m a new assistant professor at Endicott college and love working with undergraduates, yeast genetic assays and DNA repair and replication.

Something I’ll always be impressed by: undergraduates have such a unique ability to use SO MANY words and yet still say absolutely nothing in their papers.

In recommendation letter upload portals doesn’t everyone just rank their students as exceptional/top 5% etc? I feel like this is not a useful metric.
Ps. If you can’t rank a student highly, don’t be a jerk, just don’t write them a letter and tell them why.

Academic hiring, get your shit together. No lie, I just had this discussion with a search committee,
them: we want someone to teach one of your biochem classes, either one, you tell us!
Me: I can teach this one really amazing b/c I already do!
Them: …but we only care about the other one!

Kiddo hot takes as I fill out school paperwork:
T: Are you filling out the stuff from my folder?
M: Yes.
T: Are you good at filling out papers?
M: Yes.
T: Is that because you’re a scientist and have lots of papers to fill out?
