👋Meet @dan_mariyappa Associate Director of the Drosophila Genomics Resource Center (@DrosDGRC)

Feeling guilty about using many hamsters during his PhD, Daniel searched for an alternative developmental system. He unearthed that - along with other hidden gems - in Drosophila 🪰💎

@m_chiles About a handful of us from various parts of the world also got invited for the interview- the internal candidate’s post doc supervisor was the chair of the interview committee 🤷🏽 Guess who got the job?

You: “Is Atlanta home for you?”

I finished tying the back of your gown and stepped around to face you.

Me: “Sir?”
You: “Is here your home town?”
Me: “No, sir.” *shaking head*
You: “Hmmm. But Georgia, right?”

I laughed and shook my head again. You furrowed your brow.

We have about 850 Dmel isofemale lines from Cornwall UK, collected in Truro in late May 2022

Does anyone want (some of) them, before we dump them?

The Best Scientists 🧵

I have heard a lot about the Best Scientists 🧑‍🔬

Maybe the best scientists...
make impactful discoveries,
publish in gilded journals,
garner millions in funding,
with lots of indirects.
And prizes, all the prizes🏆

And everybody respects them.

OR…

If you're 35 or older and in the London area, we want your guts (well, images thereof, rather). Help us understand sex differences in the human GI tract. Retweets much appreciated!

Pushkin Square, maybe less than 1000 meters from Red Square and the Kremlin, is the cite of a significant protest. These people know the risks of challenging the regime. They’re on the street in-spite of major personal costs.
