500 frames done and still more to do 😅 frame by frame animation is definitely taking longer than expected, but I’m having fun 🌟I’ll have to sit down and learn how to use Adobe animate sometime Lol

[Chesta Jain, (she/her) @ChestaJain5]

This is a great honor and I am extremely grateful for all the support from @UMPhysiology, @MicheleLabUM, Sue brooks and @YatrikShahLab. This scholarship by @umichgradschool will provide valuable funding for the last year of my Ph.D. research focused on CRC metabolism.

Defense cake 🎂

Back story: @Sajjakulnukit painted the picture he’s holding in high school. He used it as his white elephant gift at the exchange this year. It is objectively terrible, and the whole situation is hilarious. @HeatherGiza recreated it on his cake 🤣

[Rogel and Blondy Center for Pancreatic Cancer @UMICHpancreas]

Sharing laughs and camaraderie, celebrating the year’s achievements, and looking forward to another great year for the Pancreatic Cancer Research group @UMRogelCancer, @UMPhysiology, @UMichSurgery, @UMichPath, @UMichGIHep

My A1 since day 1! Boston's not ready!

[Brandon Chen, PhD @BrandonTWChen]

Watch @HeatherGiza and I taking over @ASCBiology #cellbio2023 on behalf of @LyssiotisLab and @YatrikShahLab!

If you're interested in tumor metabolism, organelle contact sites, I will be presenting at the Spatial Organization of Metabolism and Signaling minisymposia!

[Lyssiotis Lab @LyssiotisLab]

Interesting talk from @HeatherGiza for the @UmichCancBio seminar series. Even provided handouts to follow along! Cool idea 😃 Way to go Heather!

Celebrated an NOA on my F31 by skipping lab meeting to secure a new whiteboard+ crock-pot for cheap off of Facebook marketplace ✌️

@B_B_Beast I'm so happy to hear he's back home safely! 😭❤️

[Heather Giza @HeatherGiza]

So thankful for all the feedback and discussion! 😎💯 @BrandonTWChen and @ChestaJain5 really brought it to the next level 🤣. We'll need an even bigger room for Terrance's talk next week!

[Lyssiotis Lab @LyssiotisLab]

Heather (@HeatherGiza) and Megan (@radykm) celebrating a pair of kick ass scores on their F31 and F32 applications! We are all over the moon for them 🌚💫 Way to go, you two!!

Last chance to sign up (shoutout to the 20 ish labs who already joined)! I'll be sending the participating labs a final list of locations at 11am 🎃👻

Happy Halloween!

@BrandonTWChen @LyssiotisLab @UmichCancBio @sbarolo @umichOGPS I could never take credit for this deep dive. @JonAlektiar sent me this pic months ago, said he found it in the undergrad orgo club or something like that 😂. I was saving it for a rainy day like making lab stickers for our new Yeti's but the oppertunity presented itself.

I really thought the poster dimensions were in landscape orientation 😂

Heather (@HeatherGiza) sharing her exciting ideas on #Ferroptosis at the @CSHANews meeting in Japan. She has so much data, that she need to maximize the poster board space! 🔄9️⃣0️⃣

@surgeonretina @LyssiotisLab @CSHANews @UMRogelCancer @UmichCancBio Omg glad someone caught it! I even did an oragami demo to demonstrate the spheroid va adherent data I had 🇯🇵

[Heather Giza @HeatherGiza]

Thank you @SacnasUMichigan & happy taco Tuesday

Our latest research has just been published today in the journal Nature. We engineered yeast to produce the cancer therapeutic vinblastine. You can find the work here: https://t.co/kJdVcPDEM1. It is the longest biosynthetic pathway ever refactored into yeast.
