Woman with short brown hair wearing black sleeveless dress is standing at a podium to the right of a giant white slide. The top left corner has an image labeled Dr. Leland Hartwell, and the image shows a black and white headshot of a man with grey/white hair wearing a white shirt and black tie. The middle of the slide shows a yellow box with text: From the 2001 Nobel Lecture by Leland Hartwell: “My research career has been motivated by a desire to understand cancer. Each time I have identified an intriguing aspect of the cancer problem, I have found that it could be approached more effectively in the simpler eukaryotic cell Saccharomyces cerevisiae, than the human cell. Each time the yeast cell has revealed some of its secrets.”
Man wearing white short sleeve shirt with some blue horizontal stripes is standing at a podium to the right of a giant slide about that is titled: We identified genetic interactors through Reporter Synthetic Genetic Array. On the slide, below the title is a black horizontal line. On the left half of the line, there is a red rectangle labeled RFP. On the right half of the line is a yellow rectangle labeled YFP. There is the word “Repressed” positioned above and between the two rectangles, and there is an inhibitory line that points from “Repressed” to the horizontal line between the two colored rectangles. To the right of the horizontal line and the yellow YFP rectangle is a representation of a budding yeast cell (a large circle with a small circle positioned at about 4 o’clock of the large circle, outside of the large circle, but touching the edge of the large circle) that is filled in with the color red. Below the horizontal line is an arrow pointing to a grey rectangle that is a photograph with an ordered array of spots that appear to be different colors. A small 4 x 4 patch of the spots has been zoomed in and sits above the top right of grey rectangle and shows some spots are yellow and some are red. On the bottom right half of the slide is visible the image of a man’s face (a collaborator).
Large meeting hall with open beams and arches on the ceiling over an array of rows of wood chairs harboring over 100 folks facing the camera.
Top half of image shows text information for the Yeast Genetics Meeting, being held on June 13-17, 2026 in Pacific Grove, CA, indicating the social media hashtag "#Yeast26." The image is floating in a pale yellow colored sky over a yellow colored ocean. In the forefront at the bottom of the image is darker yellow colored beach dunes with some grass tufts colored in white. Hovering above the ocean horizon in large green text is the phrase "I'm Attending!"
Panorama of inside of SFSU gym with undergraduates and masters students in purple and gold caps and gowns seated on folding chairs- about 100 students on each side of the center aisle. Hundreds of family and friends are seated behind them and around them on the surrounding bleachers. The foreground shows a view of students and faculty on the stage from the back, and just beyond them, stands the chair of the department wearing blue and gold cap and gown, facing the audience and welcoming all.

Image shows a woman standing to the left of a podium. The image is a torso shot of the individual. The woman is holding a microphone with the right hand, and holds the left hand in front of her with the fingers splayed out. The woman is wearing a cream colored blazer. The woman has brown shoulder length hair.
Image is of the seminar speaker. Woman with short brown hair, wearing glasses, standing at podium with laptop. The woman is wearing a black top with sleeves that reach the elbow, and is wearing a short chain necklace that is copper or gold color. In the image, the woman’s right hand is raised as if waving (but since I took this picture, I know that both hands were raised because the speaker was gesticulating and emphasizing a point).
View of classroom with many rectangular tables and many people seated around tables. All individuals are watching the front podium on the left as two students introduce seminar speaker Dr Lisa Whitw
Imagine standing at a cliff with an ocean view. The ocean is colored orange/yellow hues, and the scruffy grass on the cliff is white. Over the ocean is black text about the Yeast Genetics Meeting June 13-17, 2026 in Pacific Grove CA with #Yeast26. And below the black text is green text yelling "I'm Attending!"
Photo shows one book on left called Asian American and Pacific Islander history, with many folks representing different Asian/Pacific Islander cultures posing together wearing colorful clothing, with the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance behind them. On the right is a second book called Crown City by Naomi Hirahara. The cove has a blue background, and a tree branch with yellow leaves frames the top of the book cover. Behind and below the tree branch and occupying over half of the book cover is a red tinged inset image of the front of an old building with a grand entrance, perhaps a hotel, with a fronds of a palm tree sitting slightly below the yellow leaves of the tree branch. Below the two books is a flat colorful paper cut out of a cherry blossom with purple, pink, and white, set on a dark green square.
Image shows ethics panel presenting at symposium. There is one man at the podium on the right side of the image, speaking into the microphone. There are two people seated at the table, one man and one woman. There is one woman participating online/Zoom whose image is behind the seated panelists on the wall.
