2024 Elizabeth W. Jones Award for Excellence in Education recipient Jef Boeke considers himself a geneticist turned engineer. He transformed his landmark synthetic yeast genome project into a research-heavy teaching course, revolutionizing molecular biology and genetics education. Professors in colleges and universities strive to promptly bring new techniques to undergraduate classrooms. While the theory and…

Domesticated yeast adapts to harsh brewing tank environments, including little oxygen and lots of alcohol. While Riddhiman Garge, first author of a study published in the March 2024 issue of G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics, was earning his PhD at the University of Texas, he met brewer Chip McElroy. McElroy, who owns Live Oak Brewing Company and has…
