Well, darlingsβ¦
The curtain falls, the spotlight dims, and the rhinestones are packed.
From the halls of Congress to the chaos of cable news what a ride itβs been! Was it messy? Always. Glamorous? Occasionally. Honest? I triedβ¦ most days.
To my supporters: You made this wild political cabaret worth it. To my critics: Thanks for the free press.
I may be leaving the stage (for now), but trust me legends never truly exit. ππΊπΈβ¨
Forever fabulously yours,
George

How can a yeast sugar transporter find a new function?
In our new paper out now in @MolBioEvol we look at a recent evolutionary innovation in an alpha-glucoside transporter in S. eubayanus and find that multiple simultaneous mutations are required for this new function!
