Pittsburgh scientists: has anyone heard of a service that RENTS -80s? Our freezer needs a defrost and all the Bio Dept emergency ones are full.

Looking forward! Two amazing stories about chromatin&transcription in yeast, one of them from my friend and #FragileNucleosome co-organizer @chrstn_e, what more could I want!
22 Jan 2021
Registration is now open for next week's #FragileNucleosome Seminar, featuring @chrstn_e and @vanWervenlab!
Join us for talks on RSC priming the quiescent genome for hypertranscription and Noncoding transcription, chromatin states and cell fate control!

Feeling like I'm in a good version of a YouTube rabbit hole (see The Daily podcast this week); going back 2 sessions concurrent with ones I watched live, and stumbling onto such interesting talks following the ones I searched out! Loving having the recordings! #TAGC20-Peg

And this is a point in favor of having the whole sessions in one video, which I initially thought was cumbersome #TAGC20

Time for the "poster session" after dinner (EST, at least)? In true GSA mtg fashion, the posters will be "up" all meeting. #TAGC20

Saturday afternoons in the lab are made better with shared pizza. Thanks Brendan @theodonnelllab

Waking up our twitter feed with this fun thread about pop culture and science
Alkaline water is a high priced hoax that will not change the pH of your blood and tissues. However, I am very curious if this water is actually pH 10 🤔 As stated on the bottle. STAY TUNED FOR LAB TESTING!

6 yrs or so ago an undergrad, a malfunctioning autoclave and a plastic bin had a run in that became our lab members' picture holder. #happyaccident

@chrstn_e it might still need a hashtag. Karen was checking whether one was established yet

Study underway to help diagnose CTE earlier
I'm not directly involved with the CTE study, but it is such an important area of research here at TGen. My RA and I made it into the video!

I'm excited to be starting my lab at U. Pittsburgh @PittBioSci this fall to study the evolutionary ecology & genetics of conflict in species interactions! And I'm recruiting grad students, postdocs, and a lab tech...
