So much fun talking science with @sciantsmedia.com

It was so much fun to join @sciantsmedia.com for a chat about all things science🪰🔬

Special thanks to the organizers of the #Dros25 @genetics-gsa.bsky.social! Fantastic conference that provides opportunities for undergrad students to present their work and for trainees at all levels to network. The Fly Meeting fosters a welcoming environment, which makes it a joy to attend 🪰❤️

The talks were 🔥🔥🔥 and there were so many good posters at #Dros25! 🪰🧬🔬

University of Minnesota Genomics Center Model Organism Sequencing Service Flyer. $25 for a 30x Drosophila genome.

Hey fellow Drosophila researchers - if you haven't heard, the UMGC is offering ultra low-cost genome sequencing! See here to learn more: z.umn.edu/UMGC-MOSS #Dros25

We are three people away from 100 registrations for Midwest worm meeting! We can do this worm community! (Also thanks so much for signing up all, a big year!)

The Chow Lab is hiring postdocs! We discover modifier genes and new therapeutics for rare diseases. Lots of opportunities to work with clinicians, families, foundations, and industry. Check out our posters: 444, 445, 496, 517, and 519. Also checkout talk 154 on Saturday linktr.ee/clementchow #Dros25

If interested in implementing a #Fly-CURE course please reach out. You can use the QR Code below🪰

#Fly-CURE is modular so you can implement modules from different Fly-CURE courses to fit the needs of your course #STEMEducation

#Fly-CURE is also developing molecular biology and developmental biology courses

#Fly-CURE is recruiting for the Genetics of Behavior course. We are recruiting interested faculty for training and implementation for AY 25/26. Training will be summer 2025 and will be virtual

#Fly-CURE is expanding into new courses! Bioinformatics is up and running! This course applies bioinformatics techniques to analyze mutations
Mapped by Fly-CURE students! Students have gone on to bioinformatics grad programs after taking this course!

Fly-CURE RCN talk starting now #Dros25

Fly-CURE has published 15 student authored micro publications Biology papers with over 800 student authors #undergradResearch

Fly-CURE talk at #Dros25

Fly-CURE is currently taught at 30 institutions across the US

The first of the Fly-CURE talks are starting #Dros25. Come learn about how we
can provide real inquiry based research experiences for undergrads in a classroom setting #undergradResearch

Great first day at #Dros25! Saw so many great talks and posters! Really enjoyed meeting with my conference mentees!

Excited to be presenting at #Dros25! Check out my talk No. 105 on Friday on our latest work on lamin. Also be sure to check out the two Fly-CURE talks on No. 54 and 55 on Friday. 🪰🧬🔬 #STEMeducation
