Congratulations National Diversity in STEM Conference/SACNAS on your 50th celebration! While you're at the conference, drop by booth 1029 to meet the team from UC San Diego’s School of Biological Sciences. #2023ndistem

There's a new club in town! 🧠🎉 Women in Neuroscience USC will create a supportive & inclusive community for women pursuing careers in neuroscience. Hear from speakers, get mentorship, network, and learn. Student-led, but open to the USC community incl. alumni. Sign up ⬇️

SfN has been a blast so far, can’t wait to see what else is in store! #firsttimeattendee

As a young woman from the Caribbean, this is a big deal for me! I'm so excited to share our pre-print and my first first-author work: "O-antigen biosynthesis mediates evolutionary trade-offs within a simple community". 1/UCSD BioSciences biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Lab Holiday lunch and secret Santa! 🎁

🥳🥳🥳

Interested in doing Ca2+ imaging at the fly NMJ? Excited to have this protocol out detailing GCaMP8 imaging at pre- and post-synaptic compartments, check it out! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

NOA Day! 🚨 A huge congratulations to to the exceptionally talented Lauryn Higginson, graduate student in my lab, on being awarded an NRSA F31 fellowship from NINDS !! Also, thank you to Lauryn’s con-sponsor, Dion Dickman, for all your support! 👩🏽‍🔬@NINDSDiversity

First day at #TAGC24 has been a blast! I had an amazing meeting with my #NSF Rising Scientist Mentor, Alysia Vrailas-Mortimer !! Tomorrow I’ll be presenting a poster on the cell type-specific consequences of RNA exosome-linked disease mutations on proper #Drosophila brain development. EXCITING!

Loved meetin you! If you’re at #TAGC24 check out Lauryn Higginson’s poster (1765T) on Thursday’s poster session! She’s doing exciting work and is a rising star! 🪰

Day 2 of #TAGC24 was great! I met some new people at a networking lunch, had a blast talking to Milo B. Fasken, Ph.D. (he/him) about the #RNAexosome, and finished the night with my new pals at Emory :)

Morton lab putting points on the board! Congratulations Lauryn Higginson and Nina Barr for winning top prizes at the poster competition tonight!!! Very nice prizes!! 💰💰💰Wondering if PIs can complete? 😁 USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts & Sciences MCB at USC

Happy Mother's Day! 💕 . From our developmental neurons - includes a Mommy Radial Glial Cell, a Baby Neuron and a Toddler Neuron!

My favorite quote from #GLAM24 was, we the scientists get to define what Geroscience research means. Thank you to the organizers for providing me with the opportunity to convey the importance of RNA processing in neuronal homeostasis. This trainee-focused meeting was a blast! 😄

Tri-lab retreat in Palm Springs with @SanabriaLab and Peter Mullen’s groups was a success! Day 2- Lauryn Higginson, Nina Barr , and Wang represented for the Morton lab! Great talks! 👩🏽‍🔬🧑🏽‍🔬🎉

🚨 The lab's first preprint is out! Led by rockstar graduate student Lauryn Higginson, we present the first cell-specific transcriptome analysis of the RNA exosome, a conserved RNase, in a fully developed Drosophila brain! #RNABiology #Neuroscience 🪰🧠 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
