After a successful first summer, Assistant Clinical Professor Heather Williams talks about a new @UBBiology program offering students from other institutions the chance to spend time at #UBuffalo conducting research. arts-sciences.buffalo.edu/ne…
Great summer program here ran by great people. Looking forward to next year's summer students. :)

Who knew there were so many mucins? Fantastic work from my colleagues Stefan and Omer on Mucin gene evolution recently published in science.org/doi/full/10.1126… I have followed the evolution (no pun intended) of this paper with interest. @Ruhl_Lab @gokcumen
Trailblazing work by @PetarPajic93 on the evolution of mucin genes. Congratulations, Petar!

Saliva is up to some weird evolutionary business. New research from @Ruhl_Lab and @gokcumen, published in @ScienceAdvances, confirms what has long been suspected: spit just keeps on evolving. sc.org/3cpQ6He

💧💧#SALIVA💧💧 @gokcumen and @Ruhl_Lab on BBC Inside Science talking about "What actually is spit?" and "How did mucins evolve?". The interview starts at around minute 24.

Motor neurons innervate the body. A study led by the Lee lab in @UBBiology describes how a gene called Kdm6b helps these cells diversify into crucial subtypes that activate different muscles: buffalo.edu/news/releases/20… Research in @NatureComms.
