Hey #Fungal24 if you're looking for a postdoc position soon and are interested in doing cool work in yeast biology come join us HittingerLab

If you have any questions about what it's like to be a postdoc in the lab, come find me and we can chat!

What's more dramatic than an opera? A video of a nematode trapping fungus! #Fungal24 🍄 🪤🪱

Come check out some of my postdoctoral work at my poster tonight (448B) #Fungal24

If you are interested in yeast diversity and metabolic rates I'd love to chat with you!

Linda Linda (448B) will be talking about variation in glycolytic rates 🔥across the yeast subphylum and some cool species with surprisingly rapid rates as well as the transcriptional responses associated this phenotype!

The cutest conidia you ever did see!! #Fungal24
