Friends, I learned last night over Zoom drinks that ya'll're baking so much that there's a shortage of yeast?! I, your local frumpy yeast geneticist have come here to tell you this: THERE IS NEVER A SHORTAGE OF YEAST. Here's where I'm a viking. Instructions below.

5 years this March. So glad to see the legacy of home-grown sourdough live on!

Seriously though, any of the Mahler symphonies are absolute dream fuel. Highly recommend. With the exception of Mahler 2. That's more of a wake-up symphony.
The kids are going to bed listening to Mahler 9 with the noise machine set to "heartbeat". I'm so damn clever and they have no clue.

@thisischristina We discovered Wicksons in Harvard and we're never going back. Truly never was a more New-England-ey sentence ever uttered.

@NikoSarcevic This has turned my world upside-down. I had assumed fermented shark was a conspiracy too, but now there is no God.

The beauty of summer rain and humidity is that I finally get to teach my kids how to take the spore print of a mushroom. The anxiety of being called a nerd by a three-year-old is real.

It's been forever since I've had a chance to bake for a Friday night. Here's to the weekend. #ShabbatShalom

I'm mucking around with kitniyot in the kitchen because I need a fix.
A reminder to check in on your local yeast biologist/fermentation scientist today, the first day of Passover. We are NOT doing OK.

The last member of our family who would have remembered this passed away in 2013. Not a single one of us asked her about it. We didn't know to.
The Bengal famine of 1943 killed more than 3 million people. There is no memorial, museum, or even a plaque, anywhere in the world to the people who died. One man is determined to gather the stories before it is too late.

70 years ago, Odile Crick hand-drew the double-helix DNA diagram for her husband's (and co-author's) paper in Nature Today, an AI-drawn mouse gonad figure is going viral on the internet. What a time to be alive.

I was a little intimidated by Simon Trancart, if I'm honest. When I was a grad student, Automated Laboratory Evolution was in its early days, and made my friends in microbial evolution labs swoon talking about the potential. Simon makes ALE sound simple and accessible.
