Extremely proud of my newest publication! Check out our study assessing a #cancer mutation in the #RNAexosome. Using #yeast we assessed how the disease-linked changes impact a highly conserved interaction of the complex! 🧬🧬🧬 (1/3)

This project idea originally came from a conversation after I presented work in @EmoryBCDB grad student seminar and much of the data was collected by a mentee for her @emorycollege student honors thesis! (2/3)

In honor of #DeafAwarenessMonth, we're shining the spotlight on an incredible deaf scientist: John Cornforth.
Learn how his pivotal research in stereochemistry lead to a Nobel Prize in 1975 and helped pave the way for modern medicine! scienceatl.org/meet-john-cor…

❤️ So grateful for our @EmoryBCDB community!

Really meaningful session at the @EmoryBCDB retreat talking about “what you cannot tell about me just by looking at me”- reminds us not to make assumptions about one another and also to find more shared life experiences. ❤️our program where everyone feels comfortable sharing ❤️

This thread contains three winning samples of statement of purpose. One from a student who got into a PhD program at Harvard. I also included a pdf stating the do's and dont's of SOP writing. I hope you find it helpful. I'll let you know when I find more.
Retweet.

Hey #Yeast22! Are you coming to the DEI Session at 1:30 pm today? While you hear from @TheTracyLab, @thesilvalab, @jlsteenwyk, @novalesnoelle, and @dan_pollard_lab on improving inclusion in the sciences, you can write down your equity-promoting ideas in a sweet GSA notebook.
