The final tally of the laternfly squishing contest is in! No one came close to catching Audrey with a whopping 475. But Annastelle sneaked in for a unexpected 2nd place title reaching triple didgets with 107! Congrats to all for the effort in taking down a grand total of 813. Well done team.

Congrats to our summer under grad Ishani and her mentor @annavoss.bsky.social on a great summer in the lab and presentation to our group! Ishani learned ALL the techniques and actually likes western blots.

8 year old visited the office today. Solutions was originally written Solootions which is definitely how it should be spelled from now on.

Sometimes you've just gotta focus on the problems you can do something about, however small... hence the inaugural KORB LAB SPOTTED LANTERN FLY SQUASHING CONTEST. Competition has only just begun and Audrey is off to a stunning start!! But can she hold the lead?? Time will tell.

Fantastic day for the Korb lab with Marissa defending her thesis on DOT1L function in the brain and passing the torch to Annastelle who passed her qualifying exam on testing mechanisms of DOT1L regulation of chromatin in neurons! May 20th shall henceforth be known as National DOT1L Day.

Our lab just had a senior grad student get into a highly competitive IRACDA program after years and years of hard work, only to have the program cancelled 48 hours later. We're so angry, and so is Philly!!! Amazing crowds out today marching.

I miss when the biggest controversy about mRNA was whether it correlated with protein or not.
