Wrapped 2025! Another Great Year behind us~ #jayhawks
After three months away @mblscience.bsky.social I return to the lab with these notes welcoming me back. It’s nice to know I was missed.
Join us for the KUCG seminar on Friday, December 5 at 4pm in 2048 Malott. Dr. Jennifer Gerton from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research will be presenting “ Bringing the dark matter of the genome to light”
Congratulation Dr. Egan! We wish you a very happy retirement!

biogem.ku.edu provides financial support for recent college graduates. Grads engage in interdisciplinary projects that study how organisms, populations & species respond to their past & present environment & how genetic mechanisms equip organisms to respond to future environmental change. Open 12/3!
A hand drawn picture of a "jayhawk." The hawk has a red head and blue wings with gray feathers on its body. It is in a pose like it has just landed, wings aloft. It is standing on grey-brown rock in a green field.
Another beautiful cover for your KU Biology Alumni Magazine designed by our own Maria Losito. Feel free to read about our amazing program, or just enjoy the image. The previous versions are archived here and have awesome covers.

See you at noon for the final Coffee & Chromosomes of the semester!
I am looking to hire a postdoc interested in combining genetics and evolution to understand why telomeres vary so much in plants. My group has been developing Mimulus a genetic model for studying plant telomeres and we have really cool research brewing. Please check ad for detail. Deadline is 12/31.
