My lab's freezers don't have a system that will alert you remotely if they warm up. Does anyone know of a system that we could order quickly and set up? It would need to hook up to wifi and email out an alert.

Thirty years ago today, 14 female engineering students were killed because they were women at École polytechnique de Montréal. Let’s all work together to ensure everyone is safe and welcomed to work and study in the field of their choice. #OurActionsMatter

Ever wonder if promoter-paused Pol2 terminates transcription? It can! But it doesn’t just fall off, it’s specifically targeted for RNA cleavage/termination by Integrator. Regulated gene attenuation in metazoa! What a cool way to enforce gene repression. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Very proud of what BioRender has become thanks to our amazing team. We built BioRender b/c I saw firsthand how much scientists struggled to draw in PPT. It's bio-focused but we're building out chem, physics & more🙂 Also the base version is free, forever💙 biorender.com/
