Today is my last official day in the Anatomy and Cell Biology Department (UIowa - Department of Anatomy & Cell Biology) at UIowa. Tomorrow I start as the chair of Biology (uiowabiology). Feeling a bit nostalgic...

At 90 years old, Dr. George Stark is not slowing down. The former chair of Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute is still pursuing medical breakthroughs like a new treatment for skin cancer. Over his long career, he's published 300+ papers and trained 100+ students. Read more: cle.clinic/44ybvTZ

Interested in RNA, spirochetes and ticks? Consider applying for a fully-funded post-doctoral position in my lab NIH main campus! For inquires email a CV and the names of three references. #postdocposition #RNA Please share!

Does anyone have any recommendations for automated live imaging suites of cell culture other than Incucyte from Sartorius?

The newest tools from the FlyBase update today!

Whole-plasmid sequencing is unsettlingly revealing 😬 look at all these mismatches in the mini-white gene of pUASt when compared to the 'reference' sequence.

This bio-rad c1000 touch dual block thermal cycler tried to burn down the lab today. I was running a routine PCR on both blocks and sparks and acrid smoke started flying out the back. Should I stick with the brand or try another one?

I am actively recruiting students for my lab at UMass Dartmouth! Are you interested in a project on actin, amoebae, cell migration, and/or pathogenesis? Send me an email & apply to the Integrative Biology PhD program by Jan 15! Please RT More info: katrinavelle.wixsite.com/science

I still have too few words to express the heartbreak, but also need too many words to capture what @taniguchiMD was to us. He was a scientist’s scientist and a doctor’s doctor - simply the best. So instead, a tweetorial of things I learned from him over the last 8 years:

I am virtually attending #TAGC2024 . Looking forward to all the science! Thank you to the poster presenters that have uploaded their posters to the conference app. I hope more presenters do this :) Genetics Society of America

Big thanks to Sarah McAnulty (Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D), founder of Skype A Scientist, for an enlightening seminar today on 'Communicating Science with Empathy'! A valuable #SciComm lesson. 👏 #science #biology

Allow me to introduce you to the most ridiculous yet amazing thing you will see this week.

All of a sudden, I have become a big fan of the 'dark mode' of Word and other text editors. What's next, lowering all the window blinds and turning off the lights? #aging
