It's official-- my promotion to Associate Professor with Tenure has been approved by the Executive Committee of the MIT Corporation!! This is a surreal moment and I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my lab, collaborators, mentors, and colleagues who made this possible. Thank you!

How fast does gene expression evolve? 🧬 A new molecular clock for expression evolution: this study tracked ~4,000 genes across 9 species of fungi 🍄. Some genes' expression barely changes in 900M yrs, others shift in just 7M. Find out which do which— ysph.yale.edu/news-article... 🧪
