Congrats to Dr. @negberry.bsky.social , who successfully defended her PhD in @bme-uoft.bsky.social @utoronto.ca last week!! Negar and I had our annual career one-on-one today, and she showed up with this totally AMAZING present. If you don’t yet, you should follow her: she is onto great things!!

Paper published!!! Tremendous work by Gordana Scepanovic, with key contributions by @negberry.bsky.social and @krothphd.bsky.social. We ask why is mTor signalling necessary for rapid wound repair. πŸ§ͺ #drosophila #devbio
