We hosted a training session to learn about and use Oxford Nanopore sequencing for all members of the Claremont Colleges. The training was a success, with representatives from all but one of the Claremont Colleges. Plus Keon Rabbbani, a student in the Finseth and Van Arnam labs, was able to sequence an entire Streptomyces genome for his thesis!
Findley and Dr. Barbara Fortini (KGI) received a grant from the Center for Teaching and Learning to purchase nanopore sequencers, host a training session for all members of the Claremont Colleges, and incorporate nanopore sequencing into their classes! Thanks so much CTL!
Emma Bekele received the Johnson Award from Scripps College for her project on the evolution of cell shape in Mimulus that will take place this summer. CONGRATS Emma!

Kathleen presented her titin work at the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology annual meetings in San Francisco. Nice job, Kathleen!
Findley's paper finding that genes integral to reproductive function drive tissue-based heterogeneity in rates of protein evolution is accepted to G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics!

Thanks to Dena Grossenbacher and the Biology Department at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo for inviting me to talk about meiotic drive in monkeyflowers! It was such fun to interact with the lively biology department and even do a little (unsuccessful) Mimulus hunting.
David, Emma, and Julia presented at the Keck Summer Research Symposium. Once again, they did an amazing job. Congratulations to you all.

Kathleen Muenzen graduated and nailed her presentation on the evolution of titin at Scripps' Capstone Day. Plus...she ALSO presented her thesis for her Spanish double major. Congrats Kathleen!

Julia Theiss, Emma Bekele, and David Atilano were awarded HHMI student research grants to study in the Finseth lab this summer. Tessa Finley received a Pomona SURP award and will be co-advised by Findley and Fabien Jammes (Pomona). We can't wait for summer!
