Minnesota can be cold, but we protect the rights of all people. My lab is hiring at all levels for folks interested in Polyploidy, Aneuploidy, and Drug Resistance. We welcome computational and experimental researchers from diverse backgrounds. Please email me and retweet!

Hot of the press from our lab (or let’s face it, from @NickGervais12), a dive into the fungal “hidden genome” and all the amazing things that lurk there!

How do yeasts resist oxidative stress? We used machine learning to identify gene families that are predictive of ROS resistance across the yeast subphylum. Check out the preprint led by @UWBiochem undergrad Kat Aranguiz and postdoc @Linder_surprise biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Microbiology / Genetics / Genomics faculty: when starting your lab, what did you regret buying with your startup and what items do you regret NOT buying?

And PS - I am the cheapest human on the Earth and I am trying to break myself of wasting 3 months of work instead of just buying the damn kit/equipment/etc.

Where do you post job announcements? SACNAS, GSA, and others all assume I have $500 to spend for a few weeks on their job boards. I want to reach applicants but so far have not found many viable options. #help Assistant Researchers Apply here: employment.ku.edu/staff/2812…

-Omics friends, how are you storing and retrieving your data? I have external hard drive copies and Google Drive copies, but I feel like there has to be a better, quicker option. Has anyone tried AWS or other cloud services that you would recommend?

Our new paper in @MolBioEvol suggests that #aneuploidy can be an *evolutionary diversion* on the path to adaptation rather than a stepping stone. doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msae0… By Ilia Kohanovski & Martin Pontz, help from @AnnaSelmecki, Petra Vande Zande @TPilpel, Orna Dahan, Avihu Yona

One of your senior thesis students telling you that they got accepted into a PhD program is pretty cool!

Very happy to share that I will be starting as a TT Assistant Professor in Biology at Bard College starting this fall! Our group will focus on molecular mechanisms of adaptation, particularly in current and emerging fungal pathogens.
