I’m tenured! Thank you so much to everyone here, mentors, lab mates, colleagues, and the meiosis/centromere community for your support. This achievement was made possible by all the hard work by my amazing lab members over the past 6 years!🥳
Thank you Rim! 😊
this is great for someone who is working towards graduate or medical school and want to gain more research experience in molecular biology / genetics / development / evolution ! 😊
plz repost 🙏 we are looking for a technician to start this summer/fall for 1-2 years to work with me at Cornell in the labs of @cedricfeschotte.bsky.social and Andy Clark, in collaboration with @corriemoreau.bsky.social on flies & termites 🪰🐜🧬🔬 Ithaca is gorges!

Reminder: PhD position in my lab is open for two more weeks.
How do germ cells use their own private transcription factors? Come help us find out.
Fully funded. Deadline May 1.
Flyer attached — please boost! 🙏
We’ve been talking in our lab meetings about sexual conflict and sexual dimorphism, and have some thoughts. What if animal genomes are far more sex-specific and less cosntrained than we assume? @linley-sherin.bsky.social pulled it all together here www.zoology.ubc.ca/mank-lab/pdf... 1/n

We are hiring POSTDOC now!🚨please repost! Fully-funded 5-year position 👩🏻🔬👨🔬🧬Looking forward to your application!✉️
There has never been a better time to study functional and mechanistic biology at the organismal (!) level than now in the age of AlphaFold and CRISPR.
Aging may feel gradual… but what if it’s not?
In our recent paper, we tracked fish continuously from puberty until death.
This gave us a unique view of how aging unfolds across the adult lifespan.

POV you are writing a paper about plant sex chromosome evolution
Wow!
I am SO THRILLED to share our first fully-lab lab paper!!!!!! Led by @hybridzones.bsky.social & @hagarsoliman.bsky.social, w/ a major assist from @pfschwarz.bsky.social!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read more below, if you're curious (you should be- it's AWESOME!!!!!!!)

Thrilled to share that the Scavuzzo lab was awarded the 2026 MIND prize to support our fundamental work in understanding how homeostasis is regulated by the gut’s nervous system! See more details here:

#dros26 are you looking for a postdoc position and want to live in Paris?! Check out the opportunity below from @cecilecourret.bsky.social who has an exciting project on the Paris drive system in D. simulans 🤩
So grateful to be able to share my work on the big stage during #Dros26! Thank you to everyone who attended my talk, especially to those who asked me such insightful questions!
Quick plug for our new resource, the Drosophila Species Stock Exchange. This is a database and mailing list that documents species currently in culture and the labs holding them. If you want to know more or sign up then please get in touch. See attached for more info and please share!
So good to see familiar faces at #dros26 😊 Ching-Ho @ching-hochang.bsky.social just opened his lab in Taiwan and Rebecca @tarnopol.bsky.social is opening her lab at UCSF this summer—can’t wait to see what their labs do next!!! 🙌
The Nelson lab is presenting at #Dros26 today!
Stop by Daisy's poster to learn about rDNA instability in somatic aging (680F), and Caroline's poster about the role of an mRNA binding protein in regulating germline rDNA expansion (777F)!
If you’re at #dros26 and you like transposons don’t miss Peiwei’s talk! 🔥🪰 We’re really excited about his findings!
A lot of exciting things have been happing in the @rothenberglab.bsky.social so we have been keeping really busy. A few of us are at #Dros26 to share our science. Come by one of our posters to say hi!
If you are at #Dros26 and want to see what our lab has been up to, check out @rafaelperezvicente.bsky.social’s poster on sexual dimorphism during heart development (611, Fri 2-4pm) and @qeenyra.bsky.social’s talk on the effects of confinement on cardiac progenitor migration (Cell bio, Sat 8am). 🧪🪰
Now that the cat’s out of the bag: Excited to announce I will be starting a research group as a Sandler Fellow this August at UCSF! We will study the evolution of protein toxins at the host-pathogen interface across scales of biological organization. Learn more here:

Our story on the evolution of colistin resistance is just out on @plosbiology.org (journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... Evolution doesn’t happen in isolation. We show that competing fungi can rewire the evolutionary trajectory of colistin resistance in P. aeruginosa. Great teamwork with the Ernst lab
Proud of Dr @tarnopol.bsky.social who received the Sandler Award for “Outstanding Drosophila Thesis” at the fly meeting #Dros26 in Chicago this evening! @genetics-gsa.bsky.social
Rebecca Tarnopol @tarnopol.bsky.social receives the 2026 Larry Sandler award for best Drosophila PhD thesis
So excited to B repping the Hanlon Lab at #Dros26 in Chicago!!!
