Hello everyone and welcome to #BIGxWeek 2023! We're getting things started today with a Roll Call. Go ahead and introduce yourself using the hashtag #blackingeneticsrollcall!
ALT This is an infographic announcing today's BIG week theme- Black in genetics roll call. The graphic is brown and has brown dots in the corners and along the top. There is a white box in the middle with brown text that reads, "#blackingeneticsrollcall Welcome to BIG week! We're getting started today with a roll call." Below the box there is white text that reads #BIGxWeek 2023.

Genetics professor Ahna Skop (@foodskop) and collaborators suggest midbody remnants may promote #cancer spread
10 Oct 2023
Once thought to be the trash can of the cell, a little bubble of cellular stuff called the midbody remnant is actually packing working genetic material with the power to change the fate of other cells — including turning them into cancer.
