Come See Dr. Heisler give a talk on the work he did in his post doc and how it has set up what he is trying to do in his own lab now!

New Paper out in Nature Microbiology
Published today in Nature Microbiology, a massive collaboration lead by “fear”less graduate student Emily Rex in the Gammon lab identifies a new pathway for restricting viral pathogens and how some viruses attempt to evade this pathway.

Round 2 Updates, with some debates
After round 2 (and highly contested point totaling), the standings are:
Cate – 51
Brianne – 50
Ryan – 48
Dr. Heisler – 42
Declan – 41
Anastasia – 38
Megan – 35
Elizabeth – 33
Still plenty of games to play and points to win!
It is still ANY scientists’ game in March Madness
After the first round of the NCAA Men’s March Madness tournament, it is still anyone’s bracket to win (minus a few of you who are going to need some real help with that Kentucky loss!)
Points after round 1:
Cate and Declan – 23
Ryan, Anastasia, Brianne, and David – 22
Megan and Elizabeth 21
Next round starts today and each win is worth 2 pts!
March Madness is Upon Us!
Despite Dr. Heisler’s attempts to use the real March Madness tournament brackets (NCAA WRESTLING) we are going to having a lab competition!
The winner gets to pick a baked good they want Dr. Heisler (David’s wife) to bake for next month’s lab meeting on April 16th. Additionally, and probably more important than PCR superiority, you get BRAGGING rights for a whole year!
Points will be awarded for each pick as follows:
+2 for round 1
+4 for round 2
+8 for Sweet 16
+16 for Elite 8
+32 for Final 4
+64 for Championship
Check back regularly for updated rankings and to see who the winner will be!
