What a fantastic presentation! Everything you’d want from a PhD defense- superb storytelling, beautiful data, and recognition of the ups and downs of science. Excellent job, @RisaMinurrit! It’s been a pleasure to collaborate with you and I’m excited for the next experiments 🪰
Congrats to @RisaMinurrit who just defended her Ph.D. Thesis today; 🙏 to her wonderful family & friends for visiting & to her labmates who threw an awesome party! Look for her preprint about her collaboration with @LeilaRieder soon. It’s been wonderful to watch her in action.

Long-shot ask: do any Drosophilists have a stock of the abo2 allele? It’s no longer available at BDSC, but we’d love to get our hands on it…! @HarmitMalik @LeilaRieder
Fully endorse this document! I learned a TON and it was so helpful at every stage of my application/interview journey
If you're thinking about going on the faculty job market, take a look at this advice doc I just shared with helpimascientist.com: I collected my thoughts about the whole dang thing, from finding positions to negotiating a contract, & I hope y'all find it helpful!

Impressive international citizen science “Melanogaster: Catch The Fly!” shown by @GonzalezLab_BCN @IBE_Barcelona @LCATMon training to capture/ collect/report natural Drosophila populations & use PCR to identify transposable elements.#TAGC24 Building an Equitable Scientific Future

Important work by @tommyohistone--we were surprised to find that the Drosophila pioneer factor Zelda, despite targeting the zygotic histone genes, doesn't seem to be doing much at the locus!

Today I learned that it’s hard to teach bioinformatics in 45 minutes 😅 #ABLE2023 – at San Diego, CA
