Last night's pause on grant funding as of 5 pm today hurts the economy in all 50 states, throwing researchers studying diseases into chaos. Look up your state: unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-... Read the memo here: "not limited to" doing heavy lifting: washingtonpost.com/documents/de...

Thanks for answering! As a Denison alum, the course is great. The University bought the course several years ago and I think that spurred the Hanse work that’s ongoing. The over the road holes always bothered me and I’m hopeful that the reno work makes them fit better with the rest of the course.

When I was looking for postdocs I never seriously considered moving to SF, Seattle, or Boston… so much amazing science in all 3 spots but not affordable at all! I’m so happy where I ended up, it really checked all the boxes!

Michigan and Yale excluded, what are some of your favorite university-owned golf courses architecture wise? Now that Yale is under renovation, any courses you can think of that should have work done?

I was on the admissions committee for a year in grad school and never even looked at the ‘rankings’. The letter itself was way more informative.

👋 Hi I’m Linnea! I’m a post doc in Amy Maddox’s lab at UNC Chapel Hill working on the role of microtubules (and its friends) in C. elegans oogenesis. I did my PhD with Jeff Moore looking at how budding yeast regulate tubulin expression and the consequences of imbalance.
