This cool paper shows which functional gene groups were enriched as fungi and animals diverged.
I like how animals gained a bunch of genes for signal transduction. Is complex signalling what makes us animals? 🤔

Spreading the word of this GEO townhall. The poster is very 'rah rah' but I think it's mostly going to be an information session followed by an open discussion about what to do (also some advertising for their research assistant unionization campaign). Bring your knowledge and opinions!

I'm looking for people who have been affected by the anti-science executive orders to speak at UIUC's stand up for science rally on march 7 - if you or someone you know has a good story please DM me!
(it's also okay if you don't want to publicly speak <3, let's connect anyways and swap info)
