Faced with a lethal stress, microbial populations must either evolve genetic resistance or die, right? For Methylobacterium extorquens, lethal levels of the toxic metabolic intermediate formaldehyde can select for mutants beneficial in this environment, but we have also found that they can survive via epigenetic inheritance. This occurs at much higher rates and can be passed…

The Institute for Modeling Collaboration and Innovation hosts Data Carpentries workshops each semester to improve data literacy and reproducible science. The Carpentries teaches foundational computational and data science skills to researchers worldwide. The spring workshop, Genomics in Unix and R, is quickly approaching but there is still space for participants to join. Attendees may register for U of…
Our very own Tinashe Gashirai will present a talk this coming Monday (09/29)! The main aim of this discussion is to trigger a conversation between mathematical modelers and experimentalists on how the concurrent formulation of mathematical model and running of experiments could increase the utility of math models in informing optimal experimental design. Tinashe will use…
Join us this coming Monday when Ginny Lane will lead, with Brenda Murdoch, a discussion about new and ongoing research in chronic disease. Opportunities for depth and breadth in understanding chronic disease Brenda Murdoch and Ginny Lane will share some current research related to diabetes and opportunities for interdisciplinary research in the area of chronic disease development.
