This was an incredibly uplifting event and a wonderful Carnegie family reunion! Thank you Joe for inspiring us all! Thanks to ⁦Carnegie Embryology⁩ and ⁦Carnegie Science⁩

New lab preprint- wondering where polyploid cells might be hiding in your tissue of interest? Presenting iSPy- a machine learning approach! Collaboration between our group, Roeder lab , and Pau Formosa-Jordan 's lab. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

And also a Fox lab alum- awesome! Glad to see this recognition Temi!

Fox lab will be in full force at #DROS25 ! At tonight's opening symposium, the Larry Sandler award will be presented. Congrats to award runner-up Jake Klemm, who did outstanding thesis work in the Harris Lab @ ASU

#DROS25 Tomorrow (Thursday) evening at 8PM, there is an incredible workshop on polyploidy. Josh Silva from our group will present a genetic screen for polyploid-specific regulation, done in collaboration with Brian Calvi 's group.

#Dros25 workshop alert! Today at 8pm, Pacific Ballroom C - Go Big or Go Home : Polyploidy on the Fly. Excited to host this with Gavin Rice.bsky.social! We have an exciting line up of speakers and will hopefully have an engaging conversation on standardizing nomenclature!

#DROS25 Tomorrow (Friday) from 2-4, check out Fox lab MD/PhD student Jane Blackmer's poster (242F). She'll tell you about a huge EMS screen and her finding that a gene previously studied in synaptic transmission plays a critical role in cell division with extra centrosomes.

#DROS25 did you miss Josh's talk on the genetic signature of polyploidy last night or have some follow-up questions? He will be presenting poster 249F today (Friday) from 2-4. Please stop by!

Two more Fox lab posters on Saturday from 1:30-3:30 at #DROS25 - both on DNA damage in mitosis! Satya Yalamanchi- 265S and Erin Dickert- 259S. Check them out!

#DROS25 in the stem cell and regeneration session tomorrow (Saturday), 4-6PM, Dr. Jess from our lab will present her work on an until-now uncharacterized gene that we name Loofah, and discuss its role in promoting long-lived, apoptosis-resistant cells in the intestine!

One month left for early-career researchers to apply for a funded place at our Workshop 'Decoding whole genome doubling: Insights from evolution, development and disease' organised by Renata Basto and Zuzana Storchova. biologists.com/workshops/deco… #BiologistsWorkshops

New lab preprint! How do cells cheat death to maintain a long-lived gut epithelium? Answer- meet Loofah, a newly named cell adhesion protein! Excellent work by Dr. Jess and team! Thanks to the NIH for support. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Great week for Fox lab PhD student Erin Dickert- she earned Honorable Mention in a very competitive NSF GRFP pool and just passed her prelim! Congrats Erin!

Congrats to Fox lab PhD student Josh Silva on passing his prelim and on earning honorable mention on his NSF GFRP!

Happy LDOC! ⁦Duke Marching Band⁩ ⁦Duke Pharmacology & Cancer Biology Department⁩

Early-career researchers - Apply by Friday 2 May for a funded place at our Workshop 'Decoding whole genome doubling: Insights from evolution, development and disease' organised by Renata Basto and Zuzana Storchova. biologists.com/workshops/deco… #BiologistsWorkshops

We have a call for support that has gone out to European labs, to support FlyBase-UK. We're asking our colleagues from labs in the US other countries to wait for a similar call to them that will go out in the near future, to support the US sites. We thank you for your patience.

FlyBase We ask for everyone’s patience as we establish a parallel U.S. + other country fee system at Flybase IU

Thanks to UNC Charlotte for putting on a great genome integrity symposium yesterday. And congrats to the lab's Erin Dickert on winning a poster prize!
