The UPLB Genetics Society proudly celebrates 11 of our brods and sisses who passed the Physician Licensure Examination given by the Board of Medicine. By living out the GeneSoc ideals of 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 and 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, they continue to demonstrate how Genes can translate meaningful contributions to medicine and society.

Out of the 4,750 passers, we proudly recognize our very own Genes who will be serving as professional doctors:

Gambalan, Katrina R. (Transcriptome)
Amante, Marlyn Ana B. (Phagemids)
Aguirre, Amarie S. (Riboswitch)
Pena, Marie Liabel G. (Casposons)
Lapuz, Regina G. (Replichore)

Nothing beats a 𝙅𝘼-day holiday! 🛫 And right now as we celebrate her day, every cell in the vicinity automatically switches to 𝚏𝚞𝚕𝚕_𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚘𝚗_𝚖𝚘𝚍𝚎 👾, creativity genes upregulated, laughter pathways activated, and serotonin levels soaring! ⭐️

She is the queen of 𝓔𝓧𝓟𝓡𝓔𝓢𝓢𝓘𝓞𝓝! 🎞️ She regulates the vibe like the ultimate 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲, from poems to portraits, all while rocking her long floral skirt and lovely curls! 💐🪷 With her light-hearted energy, she never fails to bind and connect to everyone’s promoters, boosting the transcription of joy, comfort, and inspiration wherever she goes. 🖼️⛅️

Just like how transcription factors need co-activators, Ja’s vibe pairs best with some OPM songs. Here are a few that match with 𝘛𝘍_𝐉𝐀 💿🎧:

𝟷. 𝚂𝚊𝚖𝚎 𝙶𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 - 𝙺𝚒𝚝𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚎 𝙽𝚊𝚍𝚊𝚕
𝟸. 𝚁𝚎𝚢𝚗𝚊 𝚗𝚐 𝚀𝚞𝚎𝚣𝚘𝚗 𝙲𝚒𝚝𝚢 - 𝙹𝚞𝚊𝚗𝚊
𝟹. 𝙻𝚘𝚗𝚐𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙵𝚘𝚛 - 𝙾𝚞𝚛𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚟𝚎𝚜 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙴𝚕𝚟𝚎𝚜

Now that everything’s set, the promoter regions are open, the chromatin is relaxed, and the transcription machinery is ready, 𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚! 🪂

If there were a perfect embodiment of balance and grace, it would be ate Jan through her serene, gentle, yet full of spirit and steadfast bliss. 🌸 Much like a well-regulation, her presence brings quiet harmony wherever she goes! Always grounded, always sincere, and always the gentle reminder to slow down and find calm amid the noise. 🌿💬

Speaking of well-regulation, heard of it? It’s when a gene knows exactly when to turn on! Balanced, precise, and always just right. 🧠✨

That’s Jan in the GeneSoc sequence! Like a perfectly tuned regulator, she brings harmony wherever she’s expressed, steady under pressure, composure in max, yet always lighting up the room with brilliance that never overflows but always shows. Her quiet determination and bright presence are proof that true impact just replicates naturally. ⏪✨

Her vibe is similar to a gene with a perfectly tuned expression. She just has the right dose of brilliance that keeps GeneSoc running smoothly! 🧬 She’s that kind of presence that keeps GeneSoc’s system running in sync—consistent, calm, and full of heart. Her expression is a masterclass in grace under control, proving that power doesn’t always mean overexpression, because sometimes, it’s simply being in perfect regulation. 💖

Here’s to a JAN-tastic day! Your GeneSoc family expresses genuine overflow to celebrate you today and onward. May your expression stay beautifully regulated and transcribed in every chapter of your life!💖

Happy Birthday, Jan! 💙

𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡, 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐦𝐩 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦. 🧬📚

The UPLB Genetics Society would like to extend its warmest and deepest appreciation to our hardworking teachers and professors 👨‍🏫👩‍🏫who contributed to shape the minds and future of their students this 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬' 𝐃𝐚𝐲—even prior, and definitely onward. 💫

In our genetic world, transposons, also known as "jumping genes", are DNA sequences that move from one location in the genome to another that insert themselves into new positions and alter its genetic sequence. Like transposons that mobilize and reshape the genome, teachers are the jumping genes of our society. They jump and move through the classroom, laboratories, and hallways of our buildings, inserting their knowledge 📖and wisdom💡to each student they handle—one lesson, one advice, one change at a time. ⭐️

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙙𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨—𝙞𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙚𝙨. Like how transposons significantly contribute to genetic diversity and evolution, our teachers rewrite and reshape our sequence, creating an array of beautiful mutations filled with new perspectives, new opportunities, and new pathways. 🛣️
