‘Genetics can be used in a manner similar to a scalpel’ ❤️ this intro to mosaic analysis in 1970 PNAS paper from Hotta & Benzer

Really enjoying this review on a “remarkable system”—the fly wing disc—from Tripathi & Irvine pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35243513/?utm_…

New work WIRED “….scientists can no longer justify silence in the name of objectivity or use the escape tactic of “leaving politics out of science.” Quashing Racist Pseudoscience Is Science’s Responsibility wired.com/story/quashing…

Any ideas why I saved this mini-CD from ⁦Science Magazine⁩ ? Special issue? Fancy tech in its day?

Got to admire a report that cites Morgan’s 1910 paper on the #Drosophila white gene

The decline among insects is one symptom among many that we are not treating our planet as we should, writes Stephanie Mohr (Stephanie E. Mohr). wbur.fm/3QGIe3q via Cognoscenti

Great advice for folks at any career stage from the Genetics Society of America ECLP communications team!

It was a pleasure to work on this piece with Siobhan Roberts and The New York Times, who brought the mystery and beauty of development and collaboration to more readers than we can reach with the primary scientific literature alone. nytimes.com/2022/08/05/sci…🧵1/4

THREAD: It's an unofficial holiday here at Orion: Bug Week! 🪲 In celebration of our newest anthology, The Book of Bugs, we'll be dedicating this week to sharing some of our favorite insect stories, old and new. Let's go. (1/?) orionmagazine.org/product/the-bo…

Mention Daft Punk, Drosophila, and chocolate, all in one short essay? Yes. Did that! Excited to celebrate Bug Week with Orion Magazine

Have had **amazing** interactions talking genetic technologies and insect biology with teachers and students thru Skype A Scientist Filled me with optimism for the future of science Sign up! Spread the word!

Loving this thread on low-tech portable anesthetic set-ups for fly research “the lowest-tech option is literally breathing on a bunch of flies”

Another one! This time from Chow Lab postdoc Hans M. Dalton! A collab with Perimon lab & Stephanie E. Mohr. Hans wanted to find modifiers of DPAGT1-CDG, a disorder of N glycosylation. 2 cell based CRISPR screens with lots of in vivo validation. 1/ journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…

Cool example of how research in flies can lead to health-relevant discoveries in mammals 🪰🐭🧬 Check this out from Dr Neal Silverman and team

Love this example of how #Drosophila researchers have fun assigning fly gene names. orsai = “Argentinian street language for the football term ’offside’” ⚽️

Check out this video featuring NIH ORIP funded projects and highlighting opportunities for collab
