Impactful words by @CarolynBertozzi today on how diversity in her trainees enabled creativity, not playing by the rules, and ultimately the work that built the field of bioorthogonal chemistry. Diverse science leads to better science!

One of the pleasures of running a training research lab is working with smart, talented undergraduates like Mia Hoover @miahoov23, Tiffany Riascos, and Cameron Prince, who each presented a poster of their work this semester. Congrats you three!

For those into chromatin and development, @markus_nevil and @duronio_bob provide a preview of a wonderful paper from the @MannervikLab about H3K14ac and tissue specific gene expression. (And we hope the old timer yeast geneticists appreciate that title!) sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

I've been asked to make it clear that Harambe is not a Patronus you can actually get on @pottermore. The previous RT is a joke. As you were.
