Please join us in the Thomas Center break room this Wednesday, March 11, at 3 p.m. as we say farewell to Jesse Dillow. Jesse has worked for George Fox for almost 14 years, first as a groundskeeper and then as the grounds department superintendent.
Jesse is pursuing his dream position as a green stormwater and natural areas program coordinator for the city of Salem. This is a new program that has just opened up, so he will be helping them establish it at the ground level. We’ve appreciated having him at Plant Services, and want to give the community a chance to say thank you as well.
Join us for a guest lecture titled “A Network of Genes that Regulate Epidermal Integrity: What Can Roundworms Teach Us About Tissue Development?” in EHS 102 tomorrow (Tuesday) from 3 to 3:50 p.m.
In the process of discovering the genes that contribute to holding the roundworm’s skin together, we found an unexpected connection to Marfan syndrome, a connective tissue disorder. We identified a novel genetic network and putative protein components of the embryonic extracellular matrix required to maintain epidermal structural integrity in response to biomechanical forces experienced by C. elegans embryos.
