#Dros21 making a massive statement about the importance of DEI by elevating these talks to a plenary session, equal to our top research discussions. This is why I am proud to be a part of the #drosophila community.

The talk from Alana O'Reilly was simply amazing. Catch the recording if you missed the chance to gain insight on ENGAGING INDIVIDUALS #Dros21

This is a great #Dros21 EDI session. is it possible to make this session open to everyone after the meeting? Genetics Society of America

Great #Dros21 session this morning with fabulous talks from M. Rolls, S. Parkhurst, Derek Applewhite and Reis Lab. Looking forward to Metabolism session chaired by @ArmstrongFlyLab Drea Darby, Ph.D. and Michelle Bland.

No better way to spend the day than at #dros21. Head over to the Physiology across scales session I helped organize with @singingshoes21 Michelle Bland, Drea Darby, Ph.D. and @ArmstrongFlyLab. RNA splicing, cell contacts, Blood Brain Barrier - it's all there.

Not fly people but friends from when I started grad school in 2000. #fruitflytogether Bill madfatchemist and Jim.

So many great posters at #dros21 but poster sessions are impossible to replicate and I miss them. I may need to be physically removed from the poster session at the next in person meeting I attend.

I generally miss in person meetings, but attending NESDB2023 from my kid’s baseball games made for a great afternoon.

April snow isn’t going to help the mental health of the students

I guess Sarah McMenamin, she/her didn’t like me stealing a painting of a Drosophila embryo made by a UG in our lab for her course

My kid’s baseball game - my FAVORITE place to write

I see lots of tweets about toxicity in academia. If an aspiring scientist emails you about your grad program, reply. Even if you don’t have funding. It matters to them. Be better.

Can’t stress great group of people strongly enough. Great opportunity!

If you're in the Boston Area and looking for experience, we need someone to teach Genetics during the Spring 2022 Semester. Good opportunity for postdocs thinking about teaching. See the details and apply here: apply.interfolio.com/95659

With finals over, congrats to the exceptional seniors leaving our lab Boston College Biology Department to start PhDs. Grace (top) is off to MCDB Michigan, Lillie (right) to MIT Biology, and Hanna (bottom) to Notre Dame Biology. If you're at these programs, recruit them - you won't be sorry.
