happening TOMORROW/Thursday over zoom ‼️ free registration for everyone 🙌 (you don't have to be a member of GSA) #accessibility #DisabilityPrideMonth

Major congratulations to our latest PhD (coadvised by TheClarkLabCornell) Dr. Nora Brown for successfully defending her thesis on the function & evolution of drosophila reproductive molecules! Our many thousands of arthropod lab members are abuzz with the news! 🪰

We are generating genomic data for all #Drosophila stock center lines as a open resource for the community. Oxford Nanopore + resequencing + transcriptome. Huge week-long effort by an amazing group Augusto Santos Rampasso Kyla O'Hearn Emmanuel D'Agostino Lidane Noronha @afmata_2 Asha Jain @YazBraimah

Cracking day discussing #science with students, the @cohen_lab peeps, Mariana Wolfner Lab and Mandi de Mestre. Pic is a CT scan of #drosophila copulating which Mariana kindly shared with me 🤩

Our protamine paper is finally out! nature.com/articles/s4159…

Celebrate #BarbieTheMovie as a Drosophilist and read about the "ken and barbie" gene flybase.org/reports/FBgn00… originally described by Castrillon et al. (1993) in Genetics 135(2): 489–505. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… #DrosLife

Kicking off #GRS2023 with an amazing talk by Mariana Wolfner Lab

We are thrilled to share our latest manuscript @Ribeirolab on interactions between #foraging #decisions and #internalstates led by Dennis Goldschmidt and Ibrahim Tastekin. And yes! We also have a #neuron underlying these decisions! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #Drosophila #neuroscience

1/14 🧵🔬 When it comes to studies involving different organisms, the unique communities, and terminology can create barriers to scientific advancement. We (Ricardo Mallarino & Claudius Kratochwil)—researchers in mammalian 🐿🦓 and fish 🐠🐡 studies, teamed up to talk about color patterns!

We are pleased to announce that nominations for the 2024 GSA Awards are now open! Check out the new nomination process and instructions at our website, and learn more about a new award and our reimagined programs. genetics-gsa.org/gsa-awards-pro…

Congrats to Chip Aquadro on his Lifetime Achievement Award 2022! (belatedly presented) A well deserved acknowledgment of his science, vision, leadership, and great mentorship #SMBE2023

I am excited to share the final version of our work on the genetic basis of virgin birth (parthenogenesis) in fruit flies! It was a joy working with Daniel Klaus Fabian Erik Garrison GloverLab on this understudied phenomenon. cell.com/current-biolog…

Our studies of why genetic variant pathogenicity prediction algorithms leave much to be desired: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Skype a Scientist's fall semester is OPEN! Sign up your class! Your scout troop! Your book club! Your Library! Have a Q&A with a scientist totally for free! We have hundreds (soon to be thousands) of scientist volunteers who are ready to talk with you! bit.ly/EnrollFall2023

Come join us in Ithaca!

Gorgeous! And based on one of the classics 😍

Thanks to Gerry Rubin for this remembrance of Michael Ashburner, a pioneer of Drosophila molecular genetics and of genomics. It's well worth a read. 1/n cell.com/current-biolog…

Its out in the world and I am so excited!! This was my pandemic baby in collaboration with Robert Kofler eric lai Jeffrey Vedanayagam Bernard Kim FilipWierzbicki journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…

Thrilled to share the final version of this story! Another chapter in the endlessly fascinating world of reproductive fluids, led by former grad student Nora Brown 🪰💓🪰
