Working on submitting our final report for our NSF IUSE award. I am incredibly proud of he work we did with the Fly-CURE ! There are many aspects of the project that are amazing, but the 2,500+ undergrads participated in this research project is right towards the top of the list for me!

It was a privilege to help tell the stories of U.S. scientists whose lives have been upended during the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s administration in this recent piece for @science.org
Excited to see everyone at the Fly mtg next week!
For anyone who will be at the upcoming GSA fly meeting and is interested in learning more about using Drosophila and CUREs - please reach out!
Looking forward to reading this book from Bing! Modeling complex human traits is why I love using flies as model!
Still time to apply for @uoregon.bsky.social Summer Program for Undergraduate Research — a paid 10-week research opportunity this summer for undergrads in the life sciences.
Details in the flyer below.
Please share.
Being chair makes it much harder to stay connected in the lab. Very proud of the progress my students made this semester despite me being largely absent or pulled in other directions!
Fifteen years ago today I defended my PhD! It seems both like yesterday and another lifetime ago.
Are you aware of our #Drosophila #art gallery?

I would love to be added to this group! Thanks!
Flies flipped on a Friday!
In 2012 I started the Fly-CURE at UDM which is now taught at over 30 institutions mapping and characterizing novel Drosophila mutants in the undergraduate classroom.
We are still recruiting new faculty to join this project! Please share and reach out!
