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 🪰

[Harmit S. Malik @HarmitMalik]

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.

[Risa Takenaka @RisaMinurrit]

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

[Dr. Casey Schmidt @schmidty_c]

Fully endorse this document! I learned a TON and it was so helpful at every stage of my application/interview journey

[Teresa Lee @snickclunk]

If you're thinking about going on the faculty job market, take a look at this advice doc I just shared with https://t.co/g8QLJ3PqZl: I collected my thoughts about the whole dang thing, from finding positions to negotiating a contract, & I hope y'all find it helpful!

Thank you @LeilaRieder for bringing us to this fantastic meeting! #TAGC24

[L Rieder @LeilaRieder]

The whole lab went to #TAGC24! @schmidty_c @laureninthelab @tommyohistone and our twitterless colleagues!

@drosophiladysci @TinaTootle From my PhD advisor Greg Matera: “The data are what the data are!”

[Dr. Casey Schmidt @schmidty_c]

Happy that I got to meet up with my future @LafCol colleague @StawickiLab and learn a little bit about zebrafish hair cells! #TAGC24

[Dr. Casey Schmidt @schmidty_c]

Loved to see incorporation of climate data by setting up weather stations! This could finally be my chance to collaborate with my brother @schmidtgotreal 😂

[Sally G Pasion @sgpombe]

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

@EricSpana @GeneticsGSA AND there is a Pens/Caps game on 3/7 (game is in Pittsburgh, but still…)

[L Rieder @LeilaRieder]

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!

[Dr. Casey Schmidt @schmidty_c]

@fmmartinz @altos_labs Congrats!! They are lucky to have you 🥳

[Dr. Casey Schmidt @schmidty_c]

@fmmartinz Congrats!!! 🥳🥳

@WillArmentrout @GreenBankObserv @kartverket What an adventure!! Safe travels to you and your team

[Dr. Casey Schmidt @schmidty_c]

@AlexCope241 So do we need a weeklong bioinformatics boot camp? 👀

[Dr. Casey Schmidt @schmidty_c]

Today I learned that it’s hard to teach bioinformatics in 45 minutes 😅 #ABLE2023

[ABLE @biologylabs]

The mini workshops continue: ZONC, bioinformatics, belly button biodiversity, and more!!
