Her lab art contribution is her gel picture of the mutants she worked so hard to make 🧫 We keep a signed-by-her copy for us and sign one for her to take!

New from the Carter Lab!

Led by @bhuwanabbot.bsky.social, we sequenced almost twice as many complete genomes as were available for the endofungal Mycetohabitans genus.

Unsurprisingly, they are a little weird, giving us insight into endosymbiotic genome changes 🧬 🦠

Rooted in Curiosity: Taylor Yonemura’s Journey through Growth, Grit and Fungi at UNC Charlotte - Klein College of Science Taylor Yonemura researched in Morgan Carter's biology lab, studied fungi and bees in the Botanical Gardens, and started the Mycology Club at UNC Charlotte.

So proud of Taylor's growth at UNC Charlotte and with our lab. Very awesome project that introduced 🐝 to our lab and expanded our fungi culture collection with local isolates.

Name tag with the words “The 2025 Undergraduate Exhibition JUDGE”

So grateful for a PI who pushes me out of my comfort zone and suggested I volunteer to judge for our undergrad symposium. I was hesitant- I feel like I was just the undergrad giving the presentation! I learned a lot and it was nice to see what’s going on around the university. A great experience! 🧬🔬

The GRFP was already brutally competitive and underfunded given the talent applying.

To me, this is a clear snapshot of the reality we face, as we try to play the game without acknowledging how much the game has changed.

Going to recruitment events as a first year grad student is so crazy. Like that was me only a year ago and I’ve already come so far🥹
