Our new paper is out - on the importance of keeping Hox genes repressed if you want to undergo EMT. Congrats to Grace (@taecyeon4grace) and the rest of the team @isabellelohrey, @chaturvish, @jacobcalabria, @jasesomers, @OMarshall_lab, and @TonyDSouthall. g3journal.org/content/early/…
Our group enjoying an EOY birding retreat at Werribee. 65 species, gazillions of ducks, and 6 Bakewell tarts to keep us going. @EnochCWong @FlySciFionna @isabellelohrey
Love it!
Drosophila: I love you.
Finally face to face..
.....with our first fully dressed 3D-printed fruit-fly, with swappable genotypes. With my amazingly brilliant collaborators Joaquin Villa @juako and Parastoo Jashmidi @ParastooJamshi2 Thank you @UOBengage @bbsrc. What do u think?

One of the most awe inspiring episodes in the history of science.
How Eratosthenes, a Greek living 2300 years ago, proved the Earth was round, and calculated its size... with two sticks.
Brilliantly narrated by Carl Sagan.
OK. I know what video I'll be showing my developmental biology class next year. Gorgeous animation!
It's always amazing to see the connection between tiny molecular machine and living cell. This short clip shows filopodia and lamellipodia extension via actin polymerization in a migrating fibroblast. #biology #Animations #education
Cross a pastry chef with a Drosophilist and what do you get? edible flies and meringue stoppers. Nice job @isabellelohrey

Sunday morning thought: the ultimate product of the genome is the cell; it's here that its job and power end. What follows, an organism, is a matter for the cell(s) -which now takes over control- and this part of the puzzle we don't understand.
You are very much appreciated by everyone in the lab - thanks Vish.
Happy International Postdoc Appreciation Week (Sept 17-21)! PIs be sure to tell your postdocs how much you appreciate their hard work and dedication. #postdoclife #postdocappreciationweek #CancerResearch
Mutant epithelia never tasted so sweet! Great entry from @isabellelohrey in the @BioPS_unimelb cake competition.
Thoroughly deserved. Well done Fionna!
