I’m thrilled to announce the launch of the Evolution of Chromosomes and Genomes (ECG) Lab at the Institute of Molecular Biology, Academia Sinica, Taiwan. Our lab website is now live—come check it out! sites.google.com/view/ecg-lab...

Preparing to say goodbye to two outstanding scientists from the lab: Ching-Ho Chang (‪@ching-hochang.bsky.social‬) and Yu-Ying Phoebe Hsieh (‪@hsiehyp.bsky.social‬) who are both leaving the lab at the end of the month to start their own independent labs at the prestigious Academia Sinica in Taipei

The August issue of #GENETICS features a mega-analysis of #longevity from thousands of mice from multiple independent studies, identifying several loci associated with lifespan independent of diet and drug treatment. buff.ly/Aho22f8

⏰ Don’t forget! Applications for the DeLill Nasser Award are due September 18. Grad students & postdocs can apply for support to present research at national or international meetings.🔗 buff.ly/3byFIES Use these funds to attend #Dros26, #Fungal26, #PEQG26 or #Yeast26—there's something for everyone!

Alexis Kriete and Maxwell Scott investigated the transgenerational effects of tetracycline antibiotics in the blowfly, a sheep pest. Read more in #G3journal how this work sheds light on the transcriptional and microbial responses to antibiotic exposure. buff.ly/zRmo5qO

New study published in #G3journal presents a clone trial performed on black spruce trees in Québec, offering new insights into the genotypic parameters and clonal stability within contrasting environments for population improvement across seed and breeding zones. Read more: buff.ly/a7hNl4u

🚨📆⏰ LAST DAY FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSION 🧬🦠🧫 Got that last bit of data wrapped up & approved by your supervisor? Why not submit an abstract for the ECR Symposium TODAY! Submit at tinyurl.com/BIM-abst... by tonight at 11.59 PM EST (4.59 AM BST) #BiM2025 #BlackInMicrobiology #EarlyCareerResearch

reading a memoir is so crazy to me. you remember stuff you did?

45-year-old Venus Williams just became the second-oldest woman ever to win a singles match on the WTA Tour — defeating 23-year-old Peyton Stearns. 💪🏿 A living legend still making history!

Early career scientists are seeing their research shut down, not due to bad science, but because of policy shifts and funding cuts. Some face a hard choice: leave science, or leave the country. Read their stories in our latest Genes to Genomes post: buff.ly/wASWsJQ
