The @rothenberglab.bsky.social had a great time at #cellbio25! This meeting always feels like a friends and colleagues reunion for me. Unfortunately there’s never enough time to see everyone! My trainees also enjoyed presenting their posters, making new connections, and seeing new science!
Congrats Tate on presenting at the Fall Undergraduate Research Festival! The Rothenberg lab appreciates all your hard work!
Thanks for hosting @uiowabiology.bsky.social !!
Won our first ever biology department soup cook off with a creamy tortellini chicken soup! Good job Rothenberg lab!
I’m so sad to have missed the Midwest Drosophila Conference due a nasty cold. But some of my students made the journey and had a great time! @jiarui219.bsky.social gave a talk to open up the conference, @briod613.bsky.social gave a very successful poster, and Aiza joined for her first conference!

Lab is for getting research done and having a little bit of fun!
Last week much of the lab went to the Holden Comprehensive Cancer center retreat. We had a great time sharing our science, learning about the efforts to fight cancer at all levels, and meeting fellow scientists.

We took the day off from the lab in recognition of #Juneteenth. A few of us took the opportunity to show our visiting student Annadelle some of the nature Iowa has to offer! We visited Lake MacBride State Park and the Iowa Raptor Project.
