The Canadian Society for Molecular Biosciences (CSMB) is launching a new national seminar series focused on teaching and learning in the molecular biosciences! 🔬 April 23 – 10am PDT via Zoom May 21 - 10am PDT via Zoom June 25 - 10am PDT via Zoom ✍️April 23: ubc.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

The February issue of #G3journal features research from @matthewberg22.bsky.social and colleagues showing how mistranslating tRNAs in #yeast can alter the abundance and phosphorylation of proteins involved in proteostasis, cell cycle, and translation. buff.ly/LKhFZFy

Check out our new work now published in G3! We use proteomics and phosphoproteomics to study how cells cope with tRNA variants that mis-insert amino acids.

Genetics Society of America@genetics-gsa.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Using proteomics approaches, @matthewberg22.bsky.social et al. show how mistranslating tRNAs in #yeast alter the abundance and phosphorylation of proteins involved in proteostasis, cell cycle, and translation. Learn more in #G3journal: buff.ly/7KW7m0K

One week left! Nominations for CSMB Fellows and 2026 CSMB Awards close January 15. Do you know someone whose research, leadership, or service deserves recognition? Nominating is simple! Don't miss the chance to highlight outstanding colleagues. Learn more and submit nominations: csmb-scbm.ca

🙏🏽 @matthewberg22.bsky.social & @csmb-scbm.bsky.social for capturing my thoughts on mentorship so thoughtfully.
