Yes, many people want a better option but unsure of where to go. The power of incumbency!

I am in the process of migration. Hard to start all over again, though!

Nice work Alan!

I currently have a funded vacancy (24 months) for a post-doc to work on strain engineering projects in the area of yeast biotechnology. You can find more details about the post and how to apply on the UCC jobs portal or LinkedIn Sept 5th deadline).

Great fungal picture! Fungal scientists will get more great genetics in Dublin next year at ecfg17.org

Yeast sexes: mating types do not determine the sexes in Metschnikowia species The sexes of three yeast species are not determined by their mating compatibility genes.
