Our work on #celldivision and #biodiversity of #marinefungi cultured from #woodshole is out! I learned a lot working with this great group of labmates and collaborators- @MycoRican @1stLinesSci Ellysa Vogt and others. cell.com/current-biolog…

there are more #fungi in the sea... and lots of interesting #cellbio to be discovered cell.com/current-biolog…

200 corals. 30 species. >10 research projects. 8 collaborating research institutions. 7 sleepless nights. 1 big week of spawning in SeaSim. And now, millions of larvae. The science continues. Learn about our #spawnathon19 science: bit.ly/2rdsy0g #GreatBarrierReef

Apparently today was #BiodiversityDay, so in honor of that I thought I'd share some colorful colonies of #MarineFungi from my adventures with the Gladfelter Lab

Here's a marine fungi primer (doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…) and our paper ( doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…) that goes more into some of these particular fungi and where they were found!

Diversity is who is in the room. Inclusion is who has influence in that room. Anti-racism is a mindset, way of being, and goal for a group of people in a room. These are not interchangeable terms.

Our second coral CRISPR paper is out at PNASNews. With an improved method, we were able to demonstrate that HSF1 plays a role in coral survival to heat. Importantly, this methods should now allow us to determine gene function in corals! pnas.org/content/early/…

They’re no #aiptasia, but these anemones at the National Aquarium were pretty cool.

Our latest coral CRISPR paper is out at PNASNews. We extended our methods to study gene function in coral juveniles. We found that a hard coral-specific bicarbonate transporter is required for coral skeleton formation. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Johns Hopkins University says that termination, discrimination, sexual assault, and health and safety don't deserve protections in a contract. We demand better and are willing to fight for our workplace rights. #NotSafeatJHU #MyRightsMyContract #JohnsHopkins

Excited to share the lab’s first paper! 📷📷 Hopanoid lipids in Bradyrhizobium soil #bacteria promote their #symbiosis with soybeans. Work led by postdoc Huiqiao Pan Huiqiao Pan with great work from grad student Matt Lubin and former lab tech Ashley Shim journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.11…
