Fully rejuvenated after a lovely dinner with Myron Evans, PhD and our visitor Kevin Pruitt Ph.D. after his incredible seminar at SCRI 🤯 … I can’t even begin to describe the wisdom he shared with us, but I’m feeling so inspired today. Thank you for your advice and honesty!

Finally found some periodical cicadas. They are highly localized! Submit your observations to iNaturalist so we can build super cool distribution maps

ONE WEEK LEFT to apply for the GRS and GRC on Cell Polarity Signaling!! We have need-based fellowships and child-care cost support for those who apply 🦾

Love DNA Day in NC!
