Looking for a postdoc on our DOE funded Deep Green project. tinyurl.com/UmenLabPostdoc #genomics #Chlamydomonas

I am heading to #ASCBEMBO19 to present a µTalk (11:40am Rm 145A) and a poster (P1107/B233) on Monday. Come over if you are interested in seeing how a cell without actin at all (not just F-actin) still forms a furrow.
