We were robbed !! Best science costumes ever.

Very grateful to CIHR and NSERC / CRSNG for supporting my research BAETZ LAB in improving yeasts to produce more biofuels and other chemicals from agricultural waste. Hopefully,this will go a long way to boost Canada's bioeconomy. Thank you Justin Trudeau #NextGenCanScience

New research from Diane Lagace, Jean-Claude Béïque, Timal Kannangara and team from CMM-uOttawa and uOBMRI is igniting excitement about the capacity of stem cells to improve stroke recovery and outlining new directions for stroke research. med.uottawa.ca/en/news/stem-c…

Your next 1st author paper will be even better 😆

Do not forget to come on out to Vimy Brewing Company Friday 4pm to 7pm for the Awards Night and Science Slam. BAETZ LAB is ready for the slam.

We are constantly inhaling fungal spores. The number will vary with season and weather, but on the order of ~1000 spores/day is on the more conservative end. This helps explain why this #FungiFriday some of the plates I retrieved from our stocks are already occupied!

Next week is wellness week and there are a variety of events at RGN and main campus: uottawa.ca/wellness/event…

Great paid #mentorship opportunity from mitacs for #gradstudent #postdoc

Inspired by #uottawawellness art therapy and the uOttawaBMI Illustration contest I doodled common things of my Ph.D. #science

Good turnout for Doors Open Ottawa, where Eugene Fletcher and I are showing groups some of the work we do at the OISB. Awesome high-throughout plate pinning and fluorescence microscopy using the great #yeast model organism! uOttawa | Faculté de médecine, Faculty of Medicine

What are the sex of your cells? I worked in cells for 2 years in my MSc and I only knew Hela were female from the Immortal life of Henrietta Lacks. Today I learned that HEK 293 are also female. A fantastic set of talks about EDI and SDGA+ @CSMB2019 physiology.org/doi/full/10.11…

A very exciting day ahead for the 62nd Annual Conference of the CSMB at the IRIC. The theme this year is: Model Systems in Cancer Research. Thanks to our sponsors for their support! #Sciences #Research #Cancer

Excited to be at society for industrial microbiology and biotechnology. Awesome keynote by Dr Jo Handelsman Jo Handelsman . The Tiny Earth is an awesome program for education and antibiotic identification

Science slam at SIMB Annual Meeting in DC. Future looks bright. #simbam2019

I agree. But unclear if SIMB has a strong EDI policy!?! Looking at the awardees page I am shocked at lack of women.

Congratulations to the Ottawa Ice Peewee team 2 for winning the Championship #GCGHHouse19
