In the Arndt lab, we are interested in transcription elongation control by the Paf1 complex.

PI: Karen Arndt, University of Pittsburgh

@TriggerLoop Tailgating?

[PafTheMagicDragon @ArndtLab]

@TriggerLoop No reference to work from the Arndt Lab?

[PafTheMagicDragon @ArndtLab]

@TriggerLoop Same here. I was Peg: 15+, SLFs: 2 this afternoon. Seemed like a decent effort

[PafTheMagicDragon @ArndtLab]

@TriggerLoop Did you find the backups on 2 Cd?

[PafTheMagicDragon @ArndtLab]

@TriggerLoop Oh no. For real? (Peg here). Did they get you a backup?

[PafTheMagicDragon @ArndtLab]

@chrstn_e @TrumanLab @Rubenstein_Lab Meh: the frogger is definitely takes some finesse

[PafTheMagicDragon @ArndtLab]

@Rubenstein_Lab @chrstn_e @TrumanLab Actually, the @ArndtLab now uses a multi channel and 96 well Plates, and then plates using a frogger: Sigma R2383. Expensive, but huge time saver. We scan plates with an Epson scanner. Perfection V600 photo. Also very old

[PafTheMagicDragon @ArndtLab]

@KevinDKohl Uh, Edge, Firefox and Chrome all have that option too. Which I exploit at every power outage with my windows desktop (peg) (yes, I need to get a battery backup!)

[PafTheMagicDragon @ArndtLab]

@HainerLab @MTLeeLab Thanks. The one shelf here and there was what I was trying to avoid. And we already have stuff in @MTLeeLab that I've been waiting to move out once we got ours cleaned. 26 years of strains etc just adds up (and we have old JM stuff)

[PafTheMagicDragon @ArndtLab]

Pittsburgh scientists: has anyone heard of a service that RENTS -80s? Our freezer needs a defrost and all the Bio Dept emergency ones are full.

@susaopina @chrstn_e @yeast_papers To the best of my knowledge, we have not worked with W303 and this deletion. Following...

[PafTheMagicDragon @ArndtLab]

@chrstn_e Fragile Nucleosome alone, impacted so many, especially early in the pandemic. Add in all the undergrads you mentored so far... and your scientific contributions. I hope you are proud of what you accomplished so far. I look forward to watching you continue to succeed-peg

[Hanneke Vlaming @HVlaming]

Looking forward! Two amazing stories about chromatin&transcription in yeast, one of them from my friend and #FragileNucleosome co-organizer @chrstn_e, what more could I want!

[PafTheMagicDragon @ArndtLab]

@TriggerLoop That tweet was tagged and removed. Glad I missed it (peg)

[PafTheMagicDragon @ArndtLab]

@chrstn_e Just never answer with "yes?" Scammer alert (but on the other hand, who answers unknown numbers?!). I now go with.. "uh huh?" (Peg)

[PafTheMagicDragon @ArndtLab]

@BoyleLab Yes! Same thing I noticed in Regent Square. And... MASKS! (Peg)

[PafTheMagicDragon @ArndtLab]

@jengoefried Lots of noise in my neighborhood (peg), dogs, horns shouting

[PafTheMagicDragon @ArndtLab]

@yeastychic @McMurraylab I was training a new person on the dissection scope. A whole new experience with Covid distancing and precautions! (Peg)
