If you have been affected by the fires in LA, or are concerned about your ability to keep precious Drosophila strains going during the latest funding crisis, we will host your strains as a backup. Please email me. Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.

Every year I am reminded of how incredible the Cell Biology community is at ASCB.

Yup. And efforts to address these very real issues are about to come under sustained attack.

Imagine if we just had a ton of really queer people, butch dykes, trans men and women, etc queue up to use the bathroom outside of Nancy Mace’s office and make them tell us which one we are allowed to use. Absolute gender fuckery.

BLACK WOMEN IN #STEM i made a starter pack for black women in the field of science, technology, engineering and mathematics and would really love to keep adding to it so please hmu if you fit the criteria or know someone who does! 🧪 go.bsky.app/9jYkUK1

United we stand, divided we fall.

Happy Fly Day! November 18th is #Drosophila day. It commemorates the isolation of a white-eyed mutation, which is now used across the world. That mutation is white[1118], with the numbers standing for Nov 18th, the day it was isolated by Bob Levis. 🪰

We will be hosting 3rd Full Circle Symposium for Native Biologists hosted at UCSF in April 2025! We aim to build community and provide meaningful opportunities for Native scientists. If you are a Native biologist who is interested plz fill this out to stay up to date: forms.gle/AN7nfkhdB3Fv...

We have started a second Starter Pack - if you are LGBTQ+ in STEM and want to be in it do let us know #QueerinSTEM go.bsky.app/Cw9bRYZ

I am still in my aversion to news phase of grieving. I also feel so betrayed by all the news outlets (except NPR). My news consumption habits are going to have to change (once I am over this phase…).

America will never be able to move forward until it reckons with its sins of the past. Period. We will be stuck in this loop until we do the work.

Since we are in the re-building mood. I work with a fierce group of undergraduates at Reed College, we study all things cytoskeleton, using Drosophila and their cells. 👨🏾‍🔬🔬🧫

Ditto!

It’s always good to catch up with a good friend. Seminar hosts can become life-long friends. Unfortunately Arnaldo has made the leap here…yet.

My first post on here: GO BLUE! I just completed a wonderful visit at the University of Michigan’s department of Cell and Developmental Biology. It’s great to be a Michigan Wolverine!
