I’m considering myself in the “kids 10 and up” category because I need this to fuel my own childlike wonder about the world. One of my favorite science books, can’t wait for the illustrated version!
Do you have experience with assessment, inclusion, and belonging in undergraduate biology labs? Submit an abstract for a lightning talk BREWMOR’s virtual meeting, Jan 23! 🧪
With all the new folks on here: If you’re interested in a great community around undergrad biology education, follow @brewmor.bsky.social! We’re planning some great FREE virtual events for 2025! 🧪
I'm also sad and frustrated about all the NIH cuts/cancellations/restrictions, but if you're interested in grassroots science organizations, @brewmor.bsky.social is a great community and has a FREE WEBINAR TOMORROW! Come say hi, I'll be there!
Work with Nick Powell is out on Genetics! Nick used data from the All of Us Research Project to connect G6PD genotypes and phenotypes, and I tested some variant functions in yeast with @maitreya.bsky.social! Power of human+yeast genetics! academic.oup.com/genetics/adv...
First day ever of student experiments in the Geck Lab! Yeast are growing, science is happening.
It's been a long time coming but, my postdoc work characterizing thousands of variants in G6PD is now available! Many thanks to @maitreya.bsky.social @dougfowler.bsky.social @afrubin.bsky.social and their labs! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Final schedule posted for the Pacific Northwest Yeast Club regional meeting! No registration required, so you can just show up Friday (directions on website), with or without a poster. Thanks to Sunrise Science and Fred Hutch for sponsoring food/drinks! www.pnwyc.net/schedule
Register or submit an abstract for our upcoming virtual meeting and workshop on "AI: Friend or Foe? How to work with AI in the classroom" on July 25-26. See our website for more information: brewmor.org/bigbrew-2024/
New preprint with @reneegeck.bsky.social in collaboration with Nick Powell. All of Us continues to be a rich resource to probe genetic variation. "Functional Analysis of G6PD Variants Associated With Low G6PD Activity in the All of Us Research Program" www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
G6PD deficiency is the most common enzyme deficiency worldwide, and increases the likelihood of adverse reactions to certain drugs and foods. Identifying people at risk is challenging, since most are ...
