It's a hard time to get excited about science, but still - getting ready to CRISPR ✂️✂️

Going over application materials for our grad program, and came across this beauty. Anyone care to explain to the letter writer what's the issue? 😂

Our first time transfection zsgreen when using transparent media. Did not expect this 😲

First libraries made in the Drayman lab are off for sequencing 😍

on the other site, a month or two ago, I asked you about a way to block HSV-1 egress without interfering with the earlier parts of infection.
@beatesodeiklab.bsky.social got me on the right track to track down this mutant, with a temperature sensitive protease (tsProt.A). I love this community!

First grant written at UCI now submitted 🥳 (11 days before the deadline too!)
Keep your fingers crossed for me.

First group meeting of the fall quarter and everyone are back 🍁
