This would be a great event for anyone undergrads at UW interested in research. Wyoming Space Grant has supported some great undergrads in our lab!

🚨NEW REVIEW🚨The flexibility of disordered proteins makes them ideal sensors of the cellular environment. Read how this happens and why YOU should care in this review! With dream team David Moses , Garrett Ginell, and Alex Holehouse. shorturl.at/diqY8 (Open access)









Congrats to graduate students @amruta_sn and Fanning Xia on writing this terrific review on the genetics of cavefish evolution, which even made the cover!

Wyoming Water Bear Lab members, John Ramirez and Vindya Kumara, and collaborators have a paper out analyzing the material properties of different sugars and how these properties relate to enzyme protection during desiccation. Read more here! tinyurl.com/3rp9twvt

Join the Wyoming Water Bear Lab at the University of Wyoming! WALII PI Thomas Boothby is hiring a summer intern to help research how plants survive the solid state. Applications close 3/31. Learn more & Apply: bit.ly/WALII-jobs




📢New paper alert!! With Wyoming Water Bear Lab Alex Holehouse Stephen Fried JHU we take a look at how an entire proteome survives desiccation. TLDR: Desiccation tolerance is encoded in specific residues on the protein surface, and occurs primarily in biosynthetic enzymes. shorturl.at/U5VS1
