My lab just opened at Lehigh University - we study the origins, mechanisms, and impacts of the rapid evolution of the chromosome segregation machinery. I'm looking for 2 team members (postdoc and lab tech) who are passionate about evolution and cell division! See the opportunities at dudkalab.me.

If there were ways to quantify the impact of making negative results (or “incomplete stories”) available, I believe we’d be amazed at how much more efficient scientific research could become!
Here's our new "micropublication" - it's a cool format for publishing isolated results (not every study has to be a "full story")-"Reduced insulin/IGF-1 signaling and loss of pals-22 promote repetitive DNA silencing in C. elegans "https://micropublication.org/journals/biology/micropub-biology-001747
