Congrats to @ChunJChien for being awarded the 2024 USC Kurtz award for outstanding graduate student in biological sciences! He’s graduating next month, well it’s him!

@dion_synapse All thanks to Dion and everyone’s support! Definitely couldn’t have done it alone!

Curious about which antibodies work best for our best friend GFP in immunostaining? We want to know the answer too! So we quickly tested 12 anti-GFP antibodies we have in the lab and found our new favorites! Scroll down for how we tested them! 😉

Fauci appears in new Trump campaign ad saying “I can't imagine that anybody could be doing more.”

Fauci tells @kaitlancollins: “The comments attributed to me without my permission in the GOP campaign ad were taken out of context from a broad statement I made months ago...

@dion_synapse You mean extremely handsome?

Not many graduate students get the chance to teach a full lecture for undergrads. I would like to thank my advisor @dion_synapse for giving me this wonderful opportunity!
