Nothing like new data to lift the spirits. 44 new caspofungin-resistant @yevolab.bsky.social genomes! Can't wait to get these back in the hands of the high school students who evolved these yeast strains.

Had a great workshop today with the Hutch SEP & a bunch of local teachers interested in using our Yeast Madness kit in their classes. This module uses strains evolved by previous yEvo high school students and teaches about mutations, fitness, & cell biology. www.fredhutch.org/en/education...

yEvo is at #TAGC24! @maitreya.bsky.social is presenting tomorrow in this workshop on publishing education papers that starts at 2:00, and then giving a poster 8-9 the same evening on our new bioinformatics modules.
In the afternoon, I'm speaking in a workshop on A Roadmap for Publishing Education Papers. My talk is "Do's and Don'ts for Education Publishing." Please come learn from my mistakes! (Though all's well that ends well. The paper just came out earlier this year!) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
