So exciting that the CSMB supports these trainee activities! Wish I was closer so I could attend some...

Make sure you check out this seminar tomorrow! The talks from Canadian 🇨🇦 trainees have been amazing so far in this series. Don't miss out! CSMB

If you have time, please check out Dr. Sabri Rial's presentation!

He will be sharing a portion of his exciting work that was recently posted to bioRxiv .

I hope that recognizing and rewarding the work of young Canadians will include increasing support for our next generation of researchers - today’s graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. #SupportOurScience

Save the date April 2, noon EST for the next CSMB Virtual Seminar featuring Dr. Sabri Rial (University of Montreal)
& Dr. Zoe Gillespie (University of Toronto)

Sophie Moggridge has been awarded the Sonia Ting Travel Award.

New SL paper from the Hieter and Stirling labs @stirlinglab . Mapping of DDX11 genetic interactions defines sister chromatid cohesion as the major dependency pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38478595/

We have multiple positions available for graduate students in our lab!!!

Very cool talk by Matthew Berg!
#TAGC24
Full article: #Anticodon sequence determines the impact of #mistranslating #tRNAAla #variants tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Last day of #TAGC24 (😢), but also the day I get to share my work (😁). If you’re interested in the impact of variation on protein function, come out to my talk @ 9:15am in the Genomes and Genomics session to hear about my work towards a proteome-wide alanine scan in yeast!

In the afternoon, I'm speaking in a workshop on A Roadmap for Publishing Education Papers. My talk is 'Do's and Don'ts for Education Publishing.' Please come learn from my mistakes! (Though all's well that ends well. The paper just came out last month!) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

Then, in the parallel Adaptation session, grad student Leah is talking about experimental evolution of freeze-thaw tolerance in yeast at 11:45. I am so glad they weren't scheduled directly head to head!

Saturday is a big day for the lab at #TAGC24 . Postdoc Renee Geck is up first in the Yeast Models and Technology session, presenting her deep mutational scan on G6PD at 11:00.

Bench clean ✅
Final experiments done ✅
Yeast happily in fridge ✅
Talk slides (mostly) finished ✅
Ready for #TAGC24 !!

Excited to share the proteome wide alanine scan I’ve been working on in yeast. Come check out my talk Sunday at 9:15am in the Genomes and Genomics session!

📢 HAPPENING TODAY! Make sure you don’t miss these two talks from 🇨🇦 researchers. Sign up at the link below 👇

What is needed: more money for scholarships and more money for NSERC / CRSNG discovery and CIHR-ICRH / L'ISCR des IRSC project grants that pay for >80% of their stipends.

I'm very proud of this new #award which I helped develop. It recognizes outstanding CSMB member & scientist, Dr Frances Sharom, expert on membrane proteins (the best proteins of course) & her significant contribution over many years to CSMB via #scicomm & more. Pls nominate

If you do any kind of science communication, you should definitely check out this CSMB award and consider applying!

Especially if you are a graduate student, postdoc or early career researcher!!

In this The Globe and Mail Opinion, I make the case why the Federal government's stagnant approach to funding training, research and development is hurting our economy to the detriment of Canadians. Time to #SupportOurScience theglobeandmail.com/business/comme… . . . .

Join us on Feb 6th to learn about recent updates in lab from Dr M. Quadir Siddiqui ULethbridge during CSMB seminar series.
