Thanks Justin!

Thanks for the highlight! Check out all of these awesome papers! More to come on ours….

Thank you!

Will do! Thank you!

Excited to join ASCB leadership as the chair of the Public Policy Committee. Science advocacy is so important right now and I am excited about the team we have to take on these efforts!

@joann-trejo.bsky.social, @marymunson4.bsky.social and I have a commentary in @natcellbio.nature.com on recent attacks on DEI in biomedical research: "If scientific research, especially biomedical research, is meant to serve everyone, then it requires that everyone has an opportunity to participate"

I’m not sure. I need to investigate. But, it has been a long-standing tradition. Great for team bonding. We had 58labs/ teams register this year!

Rolling! Ours is on the right!

The Lacefield Lab won second place in the great pumpkin derby! @dartmouthbcb.bsky.social @mcbdartmouth.bsky.social

Lacefield Lab grad student @pallavisgadgil.bsky.social gave an excellent talk at Geisel’s Biomedical Research Day! Congratulations Pallavi! @dartmouthbcb.bsky.social @mcbdartmouth.bsky.social

Just a reminder about our faculty search at Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine. Applications due Oct. 15. @dartmouthbcb.bsky.social

According to news reports, NIH is on track to award nearly all of its FY25 budget. Program officers—working long hours despite staff losses—made it possible. Take a moment to thank your PO for their dedication.

Congrats @moseleylab.bsky.social! @dartmouthbcb.bsky.social

Thank you!

Thanks Takashi!

A persistent intracellular bridge and cell cycle misregulation enable polar body cell divisions and tumor formation in Mos-deficient eggs Mammalian female meiosis is uniquely regulated to produce a developmentally competent egg capable of supporting embryogenesis. During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes segregate, with half extruded in...

Flybase is free to use but not free to make. It takes large teams of people and millions of dollars a year to create the knowledgebas and tools for fly research. Please donate generously.

I also had the best co-instructors (pictured here) and teaching assistants to make this course run smoothly!

Just finished teaching another year of CSHL Yeast Genetics and Genomics with a fantastic group of students as usual! @cshlcourses.bsky.social

I have the privilege of working with these fantastic people every day! @mcbdartmouth.bsky.social @ Dartmouth Geisel School of Medicine!

The "Big Beautiful Bill" isn’t the federal budget—it’s a reconciliation bill focused on tax cuts. The real FY26 funding decisions for NIH, NSF, and more are happening now in Congress.
