Fall Philly sunset by boat house row... hard to beat.

Please repost! We are looking for a new research specialist for our lab. See korblab.com for more about what we do and apply at wd1.myworkdaysite.com/en-US/recrui...

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.

So excited that Sean Louzon is defending his thesis this Friday!! Come to hear about his exceptional work on the histone variant H2BE in astrocytes and in aging brains.

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.

Congrats to our undergraduate Camille on her final poster presentation here at Penn, covering her many years of work in our lab!

Check out our new review, written by @blukasak.bsky.social, on the role of histone variants in the brain, complete with model figures with all the information we could squeeze into one image!

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.

GO PHILLY for showing up today in full force. Including an adorable lab dog and even lab relatives

We have reached a lab milestone: we have enough freezers that’s is hard to keep track and we require animal designations.

Past and present labmates all accidentally dressing the same. Great minds think alike...

Holiday party with ugly sweaters, cookie decorating, secret Santa presents, and of course also tacos.

The choice for our inaugural post was easy. Halloween 2024. And yes, the lab did make me dress up as the memory orb.
