There's always something new to learn about #Wolbachia and its wonders. Preprint👇 shows Sperm chromatin defects don't just culminate at embryo death, but cause locomotor defects in offspring. More than just “on/off”, CI can be continuum of paternal-effect phenotypes. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Not yet. But it’s been two weeks I checked my mailbox. Will do first thing on Monday! 🙏
Grateful to be featured by the @vanderbilt.edu in their 'Beyond the Postdoc' series. If you're a postdoc and looking for some perspective, keep reading until the end - I share a few reflections and pieces of advice that helped me along the way.

Great read! Congratulations @katarinazimmer.bsky.social on your insightful @knowablemag.bsky.social piece exploring the remarkable biology of the Aedes aegypti #mosquito knowablemagazine.org/content/arti...
Now that I’m in chilly and windy Chicago, I’d never say no to such a warm offer ☺️. Size 7 US
They’re beautiful!
Goodbyes are never easy when you’ve built a strong community and lifelong friendships. But as they say “We don’t leave foundations behind, we build upon them.” Onward to the next chapter of my career at UIC, with immense gratitude to @symbionticism.bsky.social for extraordinary mentorship & support!
Somatic sex maintenance in the Drosophila testis. Left: in XY adults, chinmo prevents Zld protein expression, keeping traF off and allowing dsxM to maintain the male fate (blue) while the female pathway is switched off (gray). Right: loss of chinmo leads to the ectopic expression of zld, inducing traF and activating the female developmental program (red) in chromosomally male cells.
In the #gonad, #sex is not an irrevocable commitment, and requires active maintenance. Artyom Kopp explores a new @plosbiology.org study elucidating the molecular mechanisms that preserve sexual identity in the adult #Drosophila #testis 🧪 Paper: plos.io/4pMT6hq Primer: plos.io/3MRBBxG
👀 Save the date!
Such an impactful work showing that the "chromatin fatigue" is real to pose consistent stress for the survival of the cell! Kudos to the team! 👏👏

New research from EMBL Rome shows how paternal environment prior to conception can shape early embryo development.
These findings are a step toward understanding the mechanism of epigenetic inheritance, opening up new possibilities for disease prevention.
