@Amelia_Lindsey@chicaScientific I have to go get a last-minute passport photo taken today and I'm definitely keeping this tweet in my troubleshooting folder
@ClementYChow Sorta - they're support staff that travel with us and post bail if necessary. So, like, not exactly lab members, but essential personnel, so they always get co-authorship.
late to the #Dros22@GeneticsGSA tweet party. so proud of @BemidjiState@NorthHennepin Fly Team, and grateful to be back in community with fly folks. 1000 IRL and 600 online, talk about hybrid vigor!
thanks to the amazing organizing team and to the GSA staff for charting a course through the storm starting with TAGC2020, for prioritizing safety and accessibility, and for not being afraid to experiment
Heidi Pipkin, Nate Dupre, and Safiyo Aden shared techniques and analysis from our transposition mutagenesis screen investigating heterochromatinization of autosomal euchromatin by repetitive DNA
@ClementYChow@Amelia_Lindsey FlyEye and Flynotyper might be a good fit for scoring disordered ommatidia, but I don't think they do segmentation. I've wondered if @CellProfiler could segment fly eyes
@ClementYChow@Amelia_Lindsey some things I investigated but either not a good science fit or I don't have the technical chops (vs having undergrads draw shapes on a screen which is our computational sweet spot):

Minneapolis is a union town! We're so grateful for the solidarity from our union siblings across the city, join us on Sunday for a march to the Davis Center!
GOP Governor Tim Pawlenty defunded public schools and they have never been restored to pre-Pawlenty levels plus inflation. We have a huge “surplus,” which some want to give to the rich as tax cuts. I support putting our kids above bigger mansions for the rich. Does your Senator?
What a sea of people!
Teachers and ESPs march together in a unity rally in Minneapolis today, in their second week on strike. To give an idea, here's a sped up look at the march.
#MFT4Kids#MFTStrike@MFT59@EducationMN@edjustice_mn
NEW: Minneapolis Public Schools educators tell us they’re forced to work 2-3 jobs to make ends meet, and some of their coworkers are homeless.
@MFT59 teachers & educators are striking to demand at least $35K/year.
It’s their first strike in nearly 50 years.
Since this is a sticking point in bargaining, a quick 🧵: the @MFT59@MFT59ESP fight for living wages and professional time for ESPs has an amazing history, in which Minneapolis was a leader (and could be again)! #MFT4kids#SafeAndStableSchools https://t.co/4CFDPauJLe
