First ever (annual?) lab retreat! Thanks 10C Shared Space for the beautiful space!

Proud PI alert 🚨 laurwensing on her CRISPRi system for essential gene analysis in Candida at CSM_SCM2022 #CSM_SCM2022

Incredible work by MSc candidate Michelle Agyare-Tabbi at #CSM_SCM2022! This amazing scientist is going to be graduating soon so send all your cool micro job postings her way!

Thank you #CSM_SCM2022 for the amazing experience at my first conference! I’m extremely grateful that I got to learn about some incredible research going on in microbiology🧫🧪🧬Until next time!

Ok #yeast Twitter, laurwensing and I have a protocol question about generating large transformation pools in 3D/semi solid agarose media. Looking for advice, please RT! 👇

And some behind the scenes of this amazing lab crew who dressed up…as me for Halloween 👻 Viola laurwensing Michelle Agyare-Tabbi Dr. Laetitia Maroc Anthony Hendriks

New work from Nicholas Gervais and team on the development of a single-plasmid CRISPRa system for efficient genetic overexpression in Candida albicans Genetics Society of America academic.oup.com/g3journal/adva…

Today Dr. Laetitia Maroc brought in the most *amazing* homemade galette des rois cake and made youngest student in the lab Anthony Hendriks hide under the table while we cut up pieces. She claims this is French tradition but I’m thinking it might just be undergrad hazing in disguise

Definitely didn’t have sitting under a table on my to do list for the day but the crown was worth it!👑

The MCB at UofG Grad Student Council just released their results of a cost-of-living survey from grad students in College of Biological Science This is what they had to say: A 🧵

From an awesome TA in my first year to an awesome graduate mentor in my fourth year, it’s been and absolute pleasure working with you laurwensing! I’ve learned so much in this past year and I can’t wait to see what’s next when I start my MSc this fall in MCB at UofG🧬🧫

Today I closed out my days as an undergrad with convocation🎓Absolutely thrilled to receive my Honours BSc and a Microbiology Research Excellence Prize! Extremely grateful to everyone who’s helped me get here❤️ Looking forward to starting my MSc this fall MCB at UofG University of Guelph!🧬🧫

Congratulations to the winners of the 2023 CBS Teaching and Mentorship Awards!🎉 Dr. Jim Uniacke, Dr. Rebecca Shapiro , Dr. Begüm Alural and Amanda van der Vinne from MCB at UofG and Hannah Brazeau from Integrative Biology! Learn more: uoguelph.ca/cbs/news/2023/…
