In the latest issue of #GENETICS, Hewitt et al. identify a new gene, the sisters separate (Ssep) in #Drosophila that is essential for centromere cohesion during meiosis and suggest that ssep encodes a new member of the centromere-specific cohesin complex. buff.ly/vz7Qycv

Excited to share that our new NSF RUI grant was funded! 🎉🪰 We'll be looking into Drosophila fertilization proteins and studying how orphan genes function in non-model fly species. We're hiring for a 3-year lab manager/staff scientist position: app.jobvite.com/j/?cj=oGzWxf... Shares/RTs appreciated!

My student Burak did a very careful job to to test a lineage marking system using live imaging plus math modeling to figure out if it is actually working or not! Great job, you are the best!

📣Today is the day we Stand Up For Science 📣!!
Hartford CT State Capitol. 1 PM Rally. @standupforscience.bsky.social thank you for organizing this!
Another great addition to our program @standupforscience.bsky.social !!!

Anything less is unconscionable.

In these tumultuous times, it is worth remembering that as researchers of the most complex and fundamental aspects of life, our job is to solve nearly impossible problems at the very edge of what is known

A tribute to my friend R. Scott Hawley:
biologue.plos.org/2025/02/11/r...
I've met with many cabinet nominees across many admins, and my meeting with RFK Jr. was by far the most troubling.
He rattled off debunked conspiracy theories & lied to my face—denying his own statements he'd made on record. We cannot confirm an anti-vaxxer as Secretary of Health.
The negative consequences of disassembling the federal government will be felt later by most ppl, more immediately by others. Musk & the ideologues around him know that. That's why they're moving so fast, before the horrors of their libertarian dystopia become apparent & a course correction happens.
09.02.2025 20:03 — 👍 94 🔁 20 💬 3 📌 0Musk's propaganda focusing on individual items in US AID's budget is part of the authoritarian assault on the concept of "a public good." By turning every penny the US gov't spends into a topic of public deliberation (and potential ridicule), they are trying to turn people against democracy itself.
