@Erez_Co Congrats, Erez!!

[Nora Peterson @NGSPeterson]

@FoxLabDuke Congrats, Archan!! That is awesome!

@FoxLabDuke @soltislab @roszenil @AnnaSelmecki @RoederLab @dr_tialynn @Exp_EvoEco @PauFormosa @YvesVandePeer Wow!! Congrats, Don!!

[Nora Peterson @NGSPeterson]

Really excited to see our heart paper published! Congrats @archan24, @Juliet_King14, and the rest of the team!!

[FoxLabNC @FoxLabNC]

New Fox lab paper out now @Dev_journal - first author is postdoc @archan24 ! This fly/human story reveals that the different chambers of your heart (and the fly) are sculpted uniquely due in part to differing levels of DNA in the cells of each chamber.

@FoxLabDuke @rkstewart89 Yay! Congrats Becky!!

[FoxLabNC @FoxLabNC]

New lab preprint! We show that human and fly hearts have different amounts of DNA in cells of each cardiac chamber. In flies, this serves to speed up blood cell flow and prevent heart abnormalities. First author: @archan24 https://t.co/IJzT81Iblo

@docbowie Food situation can also be pretty good in industry :)

@woonyunghur Yay Woon!!

[Nora Peterson @NGSPeterson]

Thanks @Duke_PCB !! Was a nice surprise to get in the mail. Really appreciate it! ❤️

@aewhiteley And departments! Please offer some form of waiver to be able to defend prior to paper acceptance.

@Rachel_K_Meade Undergrads are starting at or close to 6 figures at a lot of consulting firms.

[Nora Peterson @NGSPeterson]

@ceri_weber Yup, feels like the average trajectory from my cohort is a job at a small-to-mid-size biotech straight out of their PhD

@DukeTodayUpdate I'm getting a bad gateway but this worked: https://t.co/FTSG5ad8rx

Fox lab poster #1 at #Dros22 ! Do you think mutations that don't change amino acids are "silent"? Wrong! Friday, 2-4PM, 846B- PhD student Becky Stewart presents her exciting work in the neuroblast lineage on this topic! Becky is an amazing student thinking about postdocs...

@docbowie Milk frother has really upped my homemade coffee game (but no espresso machine yet)

[Nora Peterson @NGSPeterson]

@ceri_weber Still annoyed that I had to pay to get my 1099 after Duke mailed it to a bogus address when you can just download your W2 for free.

[Nora Peterson @NGSPeterson]

@edaerata Congrats, Eda! That’s awesome!

[Nora Peterson @NGSPeterson]

@edaerata Congrats, Eda!!

[Nora Peterson @NGSPeterson]

@edaerata I think they should be free for all grad students but given on request cause our programs pay for a lot of non-users to have access but not the sixth & seventh years actually using it. Makes no sense.

[Nora Peterson @NGSPeterson]

Very happy to see this review out! @FoxLabDuke and I discuss the importance and unanswered questions of nuclear number in polyploid cells. Thanks to @FoxLabDuke for all the help getting it out as I was leaving the lab!

[FoxLabNC @FoxLabNC]

New Fox Lab review out in Chromosome Research! @NGSPeterson discusses how #germline and various #polyploidy cell types change their biology when adding extra genomes, and the difference between 1 vs many nuclei/cell. https://t.co/0Sv2ytukns
