I am excited to share that earlier this quarter, UChicago Biological Sciences awarded me the annual Dean’s Outstanding TA award! I thoroughly enjoyed discussing cell biology with the most amazing and talented class of Cell Bio II!

Super excited to be at #Dros23 this year! My first in-person conference where I am presenting my work. Do stop by my poster (566T) tomorrow at 2 PM! Me and my cats staring at optogenetic Rap1 perturbation phenotype in the embryo. Stop by my poster for more!

Rap1 optogenetics and its effect on embryonic morphogenesis - tomorrow at #Dros23

Perspectives that brings warmth and calm to your mind, body and soul. Thank you for bring so much positivity to #dros23 raquell holmes improvscience

So true! Story of my life for past two months! Realities of the Quantitative Image Processing side of those pretty movies!

Just got to UTSW Medical Center. Excited for these microscopes!

Preview of some incredible Drosophila embryonic morphogenesis movies that we have been capturing here at UTSW with Bo-Jui Chang, @retopaul, and @kD3AN. Ventral furrowing looks so much cooler when seen through Oblique Plane Microscopy <3!

Cool cell zipper, courtesy of Amruta Nayak , imaged by Bo-Jui Chang using a new OPM imaging mode invented by Bingying Chen . My contribution: I had ruined one movie and have subsequently been upgraded to spectator mode...

Can’t stop appreciating why Cummings 9th floor is a great place to do science :)

The most colorful box of flies that I have ever received! Totally made my day! Thanks nat clarke and Adam Martin!

Opinion: Biological #Physics is coming of age! Once an awkward confrontation between disciplines, now #BiologicalPhysics is showing that life is not just a mess: go.aps.org/3ZYvLwd. #APSnews

I got selected to give a long-form talk at next Chicago Cytoskeleton! If you are in Chicago on April 21st, stop by at Northwestern’s downtown campus to see some cool Drosophila movies and learn how Rap1 coordinates the shape changes at supracellular level in early embryo

I can't believe my eyes! Tears of joy! ❤️
