It's been a long time coming but, my postdoc work characterizing thousands of variants in G6PD is now available! Many thanks to @maitreya.bsky.social @dougfowler.bsky.social @afrubin.bsky.social and their labs! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Functional evidence for G6PD variant classification from mutational scanning

G6PD deficiency is the most common enzyme deficiency worldwide, and increases the likelihood of adverse reactions to certain drugs and foods. Identifying people at risk is challenging, since most are ...

I'm also sad and frustrated about all the NIH cuts/cancellations/restrictions, but if you're interested in grassroots science organizations, @brewmor.bsky.social is a great community and has a FREE WEBINAR TOMORROW! Come say hi, I'll be there!

Free webinar TOMORROW (Thurs Jan 23, 2-4:30 EST) on Assessment of undergraduate experiential learning in biology labs! You can still register here: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

First day ever of student experiments in the Geck Lab! Yeast are growing, science is happening.

Work with Nick Powell is out on Genetics! Nick used data from the All of Us Research Project to connect G6PD genotypes and phenotypes, and I tested some variant functions in yeast with @maitreya.bsky.social! Power of human+yeast genetics! academic.oup.com/genetics/adv...

Do you have experience with assessment, inclusion, and belonging in undergraduate biology labs? Submit an abstract for a lightning talk BREWMOR’s virtual meeting, Jan 23! 🧪

BREWMOR@brewmor.bsky.social · 2y ago

Announcing microBREW 2025: a free online webinar on assessment of undergraduate experiential learning in biology labs! We are seeking abstracts for lightning talks; more information on registration soon. Info and abstract submission on our website: brewmor.org/microbrew-20...

With all the new folks on here: If you’re interested in a great community around undergrad biology education, follow @brewmor.bsky.social! We’re planning some great FREE virtual events for 2025! 🧪

I’m considering myself in the “kids 10 and up” category because I need this to fuel my own childlike wonder about the world. One of my favorite science books, can’t wait for the illustrated version!

I’m excited to announce that the Young Readers Edition of An Immense World—for kids 10 and up—is complete! It’ll be out in May 2025 but you can preorder now. Same vibe and stories, and now with stunning full-color illustrations. bookshop.org/p/books/an-i...

Final schedule posted for the Pacific Northwest Yeast Club regional meeting! No registration required, so you can just show up Friday (directions on website), with or without a poster. Thanks to Sunrise Science and Fred Hutch for sponsoring food/drinks! www.pnwyc.net/schedule

Finally on BlueSky! Thrilled to share our work profiling Ale yeast protein dynamics across fermentation and serial repitching! biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @maitreya.bsky.social @edwardmarcotte.bsky.social @LiveOakBrewing #BeerYeast #SystemsBiology #Proteomics Sneek Peak🧵 below-

Excited that our beer proteomics work is up on bioRxiv! A great crew to work with and have fun exploring what’s happening inside yeast while it’s making beer. Also check out the very cool data viewer:
