I've emerged from my faculty job app cocoon to open up the Etsy shop for a bit. Come grab some #Drosophila swag and support @flybase.bsky.social ! All proceeds are donated, here's the belated donation from December's sales.
I’m so proud of J’nea and Lena ! Both have been a joy to train and mentor as they’ve developed academically and personally. Yesterday at #DiscoverUSC2026, they showcased their research projects with expertise, confidence, and enthusiasm.

One of the things I do to decompress - cross stitch. I’ve been making pieces that are related to my research. This is the first one I completed (a while ago) of a germarium of the #drosophila ovary.

A different, refreshing way to do group lab meeting suggested by @jennagraham10.bsky.social Ideas brewing, projects moving! 🪰👩🏾🔬👨🏾🔬👩🏼🔬👩🏽🔬👩🏻🔬🪰
Happy to share the lab’s latest preprint! Led by PhD student @isaiahwill.bsky.social, we hope that this thorough characterization of expression patterns for many #drosophila fat body driver lines will be a useful resource to the fruit fly community.
My visit to Berkeley last week to give a talk about the lab’s research for the MCB seminar series was AWESOME! Many stimulating conversations about science, mentoring, lab culture and community outreach. The icing on the cake was meeting @ongkaty.bsky.social. I love her pins, stickers, and patches!
