U of L spent decades trying to figure out how to make students care:

Free busses from campus? Points system to reward attendance? T-shirts and hats?

Nah... all it took was for the Head Coach to give a darn. To show that he values the student section.

BOOM.

Academia is wild - the socially isolated recluse who avoids eye contact has to teach a classroom of 22 year olds

We have a new @MastracciLab graduate! Congrats Caleb Rutan on passing your MS thesis defense 🎉🎉🎉

I am also so grateful to all past and present lab members (not all shown) - you make it a joy to come to work every day (even when you photoshop my head in to strange pictures)🤣

[IU Indianapolis Biology @IUIBiology]

Congratulations Caleb on the successful defense of your MS thesis! Good luck in the next stage of your career 😀 #MSdone #ResearchRocks

[IU Indianapolis Biology @IUIBiology]

Our faculty are awesome!! Congratulations on your promotions 🎉Dr. Teri Belecky-Adams, Professor; Dr. Forrest Brem, Senior Lecturer; Dr. Patricia Clark, Teaching Professor; Dr. Teresa Mastracci, Associate Professor with tenure. We couldn’t be more proud 💫

New article from @MastracciLab. @CatVillaca did a great job discussing
Pancreatic #Crosstalk in the Disease Setting: Understanding the Impact of #Exocrine Disease on #Endocrine Function.
Definitely worth the read!! Pls RT

Never name a manuscript draft "_FINAL"

[Dr. Teresa Mastracci @TeresaMastracci]

Let the fun begin! Super jazzed to be visiting @OHSUSOM and @jF_lab_. The day is packed — I can’t wait to meet everyone and share our new work that investigates “on demand” protein synthesis. Secretory cells (not just #beta cells) are amazing

[Dr. Teresa Mastracci @TeresaMastracci]

@DanielJDrucker beat me to it! Our study in @Diabetes_ADA is online! Spoiler alert…we found an mRNA #translation mechanism in the #beta cell that regulates “on-demand” protein synthesis. Coolest finding-#Insulin is translationally regulated! Pls read & RT

This is the proper way to celebrate a new @MastracciLab paper accepted at Diabetes, right?? 🎉🎉

[Danielle Overton @danilou1005]

@EmilyMHawes @JMolEndo Congrats!

[Emily Hawes @EmilyMHawes]

My second first-author paper has officially been published in @JMolEndo!
The paper investigates how flux through different G6P pathways influence each other and suggests that G6PC2 inhibitors would not influence glucocorticoid signaling.

What a fun way to end a super week of science at the @GordonConf on Polyamines. @IUPUIBiology and @MastracciLab PhD student Mollie Shinkle was chosen for a talk at both the GRS and GRC…and she rocked them both!! The future is super exciting #science #polyamigos
