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
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.

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 🍔 #YGG2025 #CSHLCourseLife

Summer swelter can’t slow us: Day 7 means colony picking, fluorescence checks, and plenty of iced water between microscope sessions. #YGG2025 ☀️

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! 🎸🚤 #YGG2025 #CSHLCOURSELIFE

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

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🔬
