First batch of fly food is ready in the Maya lab! Huge thanks to everyone who helped get us up and running. Excited to see where the next experiments with flies take us!!
Bittersweet week in the lab as we wished congrats and safe travels to postdoc @krystalmayam.bsky.social who returns to Mexico to start her own lab at CINVESTAV! We can’t wait to see all the amazing things she’ll do with her future trainees. She’s been an excellent mentor to a group of undergrads.
