A college class and a 1-on-1 interview. But I guess it could be a nice collaboration for the future, I may look into asking Sarah. Thanks!

My intro biology course has an "Interview a Biologist" project where students connect with a wide range of biologists using cell/molecular tools.
If you are willing to speak with a student for ~30 minutes on Zoom, please fill out this form: forms.gle/BCjJPgURsgSr...
Amen, just taught a gene-editing and ethics course and we unfortunately had to discuss this guy and these awful ambitions π«

Look at that poo fly!

- POs down ~ 40% (DRP, most rotators not renewed, retirements)

This month's #InvertArtChallenge is one of our Pacific Northwest fireflies. They're largely overlooked because they don't light up in spectacular displays, although the larvae can glow. But they still deserve attention.
