I’ll be presenting this work (and a bunch of unpublished data) at 2.45pm at the #yeast2025 conference 🤓
This collaboration with @merusadhu.bsky.social has also benefitted from the meeting, as we planned more experiments on the river last night 👌

We bought a shaking incubator for new pathogenic yeast work, but the tray came with holes lacking threads 😒
Luckily, Mark Bentley from our @biologyatyork.bsky.social workshop is a legend - he trimmed down the rack and secured it to the tray.

Last night I noticed this giant haploid cerevisiae cell in a plate full of normal cells - so decided to image it overnight. It did nothing for 6 hours then a giant daughter budded and the mother exploded - wtf?

Very cool @scholargoggler.bsky.social tool, thanks!
No real surprises but perhaps this explains why I get so many invitations to environmental and plastic recycling conferences 🤪

Really cool to be visiting the University of Sheffield today. Just realised I was here giving a talk almost exactly 9 years ago as a clueless postdoc looking to move back to the UK!
Just like my last visit, lots of great science chats and advice 🙌 🤓
