🚨It’s been a long time coming, but…
using my first B. burgdorferi strain as a grad student — 11 years ago — now @NatureComms with @NICHD_NIH Adams Lab post-bacs, we corrected a gene annotation mistake and discovered a conserved flagellar assembly factor! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

The cytoplasm is not necessarily chemically uniform, says Delerue, Updegrove, & @Sylvia_Char. Surface of the developing spore inside the #Bacillus subtilis mother cell is acidic & needs a chaperone to activate MurG (lipid II synthase)

Dear friends who write NSF GRFP rec letters, this year rec letters are due BEFORE the applications, so about 10 days earlier than normal on Oct. 11. Please don't let NSF's deadline change on rec letters screw over the applicants in your lives.

Congratulations to you, Nymphia Wind @66wind99, for being so accomplished in the difficult art form of drag, and for being the first Taiwanese to take the stage and win on @RuPaulsDragRace.
Right after being crowned queen, you said “Taiwan, this is for you.”
Taiwan thanks you for living fearlessly.

Excited this work is fully published!
Key takeaway: yeast are using a complex that is more similar than previously thought to that of other eukaryotes (including humans) to methylate their mRNA!

Recent data by Park et al. suggests that Vir1p, the #yeast homolog of virilizer, is required for cells to initiate the meiotic program and for progression through the meiotic divisions and spore formation. #GENETICS | @ZachoryP | bit.ly/3Jh2JBx

Yale has announced an across-the-board raise for postdocs, with salaries for 1st year postdocs starting at $65,000.
Plus, the administration is giving PIs extra funding (for one year) to cover funding gaps due to the new policy.
Seems like a good step!

GAGE: the EAF is usually used for medical expenses and rent. A higher salary would help, because we have heard time and time again that our members are struggling to pay rent and buy groceries.
