When you have a two hour discussion with parents on -
Is buying induction worth it ?
Do we have induction friendly utensils?
Do we have a heavy power socket in Kitchen?
Should we get a single induction or double?

At this point I am like - just trust me and do it 🤷🏽‍♀️

Congratulations Dr Flores 🎓🎉🎊

Excited to share I successfully defended my PhD a couple days ago!!! 🥳 thanks to everyone who’s supported me along the way and for being on this wild ride with me!

As Kobe said: “Job’s not finished!”

How does an animal choose between exploring for a better food source and taking advantage of a known one? Our recent work in Current Biology demonstrates how recent feeding and metabolic state dynamically influence fly local search. bit.ly/3PfrIv3 #Science #Neurosky #Foraging #Drosophila

This is so cool - oh I love science 🥳

"Seal lice have no anatomical or physiological capabilities that distinguish them from other insects. Absence of insects in the deep sea is not due to any inherent limitations in their form or function, but a result of their evolutionary pathways"

#evolution

A diagram of the life cycle of the seal heart worm. The first few stages of the worm develop in the louse, and then the nematodes move to seals and develop into larger adults. Seal lice are delightfully round, but less delightfully apparently transmit heart worms.

Thing I learned today: Seal Lice vector seal heart worms! I don't know of another louse species that vectors a nematode. Do any other entofriends? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A huge CONGRATULATIONS to the new Dr. David Duncan for successfully defending his doctoral dissertation today!!!🥳🎊👨🏾‍🔬🪰

Single molecular fluorescence in situ hybridization to outline white matter tracts (green, labeling MBP) and serotonin neurons marked in purple with TPH2

Early for #FluorescenceFriday, but got an early peek in a project meeting - strucure is just so incredible - zoom in of tryptophan hydroxylase 2 labeling 🟣 of serotonin neurons in the dorsal raphe of human 🧠. Experiment and image credit to @ishbeldelrosario.bsky.social @svitlanabach.bsky.social

Poster for his defense

Today i attended one of the most interesting PhD defenses of my career. JP Flores' (@jpflores.rbind.io) combination of scientific achievement & acumen, activities in mentoring, science communication, & advocacy, & creativity in presentation made it virtually unique--look our for him in the future!

Nature has already run billions of biological experiments.

Stowers scientist @batevodevo.bsky.social, Ph.D. joined @npr.org's All Things Considered to discuss how researchers study unusual species—like bats and pythons—to uncover clues about #metabolism, disease, and human health. 🦇

JCS Cover: Images showing mouse oocytes at the division plane during meiotic telophase I. Tubulin and DNA are depicted in green and cyan, respectively. The meiotic midbody is labelled with an antibody that recognises MKLP1 (magenta, central image only). The enlarged central image highlights the intact structure of the meiotic midbody, which fails to form correctly in MOS-deficient oocytes. The bottom-right image depicts a MOS-deficient oocyte during telophase I, in which chromatin can prematurely detach from spindle microtubules and begin to decondense, unlike in the wild-type oocyte shown in the top-left image. See article by G. Cairo, M. A. Haseeb et al. (jcs264411).

Knock knock, no one’s there. Study finds scientists’ jokes mostly fall flat Survey examines how often academics attempt jokes during conference talks — and how these attempts at comedy land.

Ouch.

Absolutely @jbwallingford.bsky.social A beautiful profile of Victoria Foe, beautifully written.

Gorgeous piece of science history here. Many in the @socdevbio.bsky.social will know the story's protagonist, Victoria Foe. And shout out to those of us who did PhDs @utaustin.bsky.social.
