When I first made this account, I made it to go to #TAGC24 and use it network bc my Twitter had become way too angry about the things happening in society and not about my scientific work ๐Ÿงต

Beyond honoured that my image of a Malpighian (renal) tubule has won the Genetic Society of Americaโ€™s Drosophila Image Award 2024 at #TAGC24#Dros24doi.org/10.1242/jcs....drosophila-images.org/2024-2/

Cellular organisation of the flyโ€™s kidney
Detail of an adult Drosophila Malpighian (renal) tubule expressing membrane-bound GFP (green) in stellate cells โ€“ a population secondary intercalated cells required for transport of water โ€“ under the direction of c724GAL4, with staining of nuclei (DAPI, blue) and F-actin microfilaments (TRITC-conjugated phalloidin, magenta) in principal cells and stellate cells. Septate junctions are stained using an antibody for the junctional component Discs-large (anti-Dlg1, grey). The image was created by tiling of three separate maximum-intensity z projections obtained using a Nikon AX R NSPARC confocal.

I wrote about a project I am excited about! Why are not all E. coli resistant to antibiotics? The blog post also includes my #TAGC24abetterscientist.wordpress.com/2024/03/15/w...

Thank you @GeneticsGSA for a spectacular conference last week! At #TAGC24 I gave my first talk at an international conference, unexpectedly reunited with old friends, and met so many great scientists who's excitement for science and learning was contagious ๐Ÿฆ

I'm teaching a two week stint in our graduate evolution reading class. I just returned from an invigorating #TAGC24, and I'm super excited to be back in the lab. I'm feeling a lot of that energy bleeding into the grad course. Looking forward to the next two weeks!

[Partial text of the syllabus]

Weeks 9 and 10 Overview

For weeks 9 and 10, we will be reading 8 papers total: 6 primary research papers and two perspectives. This works out to 2 per class meeting (i.e., 4 per week).

Each student is expected to read and be prepared to discuss every paper. However, each paper will also be assigned a facilitator. The facilitator will guide discussion and write up one page summaries in the style that Tony Long required for his section. This will constitute graded work for this part of the class. The last class session will be more open, and hopefully we'll be able to conduct it outside at Starbucks, Cafe Espresso, or similar.

For the first three days, during class, there will be three phases:

    introductory remarks (~10-20 minutes);
    paper discussion (2x~40-45 minutes);
    conclusions/synthesis (remaining time).
