I am so pleased to share some happy news, despite these uncertain times - this coming fall, I'll be joining @UMassLowell as an assistant professor of @UML_Biology! Stay tuned for Lee lab updates on chromatin, longevity, epigenetics, and of course, #celegans!

Happy new year, everyone! I love how quiet and calm campus is during winter break - a great time to crank out some expts in the lab! Here's some magnetic poetry that greeted me upon my return to the lab (the struggle is all too real). 🪱

The season of lights continues with the start of Hanukkah🕯️✨ Chag sameach from the lab's lil microfuge tube menorah!

Happy Christmas if you're celebrating today! 🎄 ✨Here's our lab's winter worm & nucleic acid tree, along with a very cozy UML attired C. elegans. ☃️❄️🪱

Another successful holiday white elephant party for the labs of @UML_Biology! ☃️🎄 Most-coveted: pocket microscope! (courtesy of @Matt_Sasaki) Most-strange-that-went-to-@ScottPRoques-&-now-haunts-my-lab-staring-at-me-all-day: a shorse figurine (I think it's a meme??) 🦈🐎

T'was the night before finals, and all thru the lab, not a solution was stirring, no worms to be had. (I waited until an appropriate holidayish time to post this photo, but don't be fooled - these are our daylight savings lights, which means they're up from November to March.)

And that's a wrap on this semester of Advanced Genetic Analysis! 🧬We ranged far & wide this semester, using logic to tackle everything from allelomorphs to epistasis to GWAS. And thank goodness that the AGA students humored my tradition of taking a class photo for posterity! 🤗

RT @HonorsUML: Congratulations to honors Biology major and Pharmaceutical Sciences Minor @alliesciarratta who completed her honors thesis "…

The Lee lab is so proud of graduating senior @alliesciarratta for defending her @HonorsUML & @UML_Biology thesis!!!🥳 It represents three years of hard work, dozens of gels, and (probably) hundreds of memes. She's applying to PhD programs, so keep an eye out for this rising star!
