Special thanks to Dr. Francisco Cubillos for his great lecture on yeast speciation! He even was gracious enough to show us how it is done on the spore dissection scope.
Loved the experience and I’ve been having so much fun these days in the @YeastCourseCSHL. Thanks for having me and listening to all the yeast species and diversity talks. Shamed on my tetrad dissection skill though 😆. @ibiochile@fqybusach
Day 10: Amazing chalk talk & seminar with Dr. Kevin Verstrepen — exploring how yeast systematic biology fuels food innovation and cell factories. Ended the day with a fun picnic and some burgers 🍔

Boat trip day! After all that boat-and-beach watching from the lab window, we’re finally out on the water. Off we go — didn’t expect the captain to pull out a guitar and turn the sea breeze into a vibe! 🎸🚤

Everyone here at the yeast course is #LockedIn for this year’s plate race. The defending champs are hungry for another W. Forecasting some stress related interactions with Gene expression this year… #CSHLPLATERACE2025#YGG2025
DAY4 was packed with experiments, lectures, intense plate race training, and an inspiring seminar & chalk talk by Dr. Amy MacQueen—a day full of discoveries. Stay tuned for DAY5 updates—we're just getting started ;)
Day 3 at #YGG2025 and the lab is buzzing. We’re diving into everything from PCRs to microscopy and dissection practice. The learning curve is steep, but exciting🔬
