Still thinking about @cshldnarep & the amazing science people! Thanks to all participants - especially cochairs John (@DiffleyLab) and Bob (@DuronioLab) for their help. Time to step down but looking forward to the next with new cochair Agata Smogorzewska (@MaintainGenome)!

Thanks for the ridiculously adorable photo display, super thoughtful and generous tour of Baltimore y’all planned for me, and for truly being the best lab I could’ve ended up in to start my scientific career. Love you all. See you soon. šŸŖ°šŸ„¹šŸ«¶šŸ» @DuronioLab

✨Harnessing the power of Drosophila✨ to ask Q's about the roles of canonical and variant histones in genome function and development. A 🧵about this little journey, which was a pretty wonderful first project in the @DuronioLab and @DMcKay_Lab. 1/9 academic.oup.com/genetics/ad…

Lab bucket list activity to help celebrate @acrain12’s wonderful thesis defense last week! Whoever thought of combining range golf with darts is an evil scientist genius.

Dr. Aaron Crain, everyone! I’m so grateful he was my first scientific mentor in the @DuronioLab, and I’m even more thankful to call him my friend. So earnest, compassionate, patient, and generous with his science, energy, and time. Watch out for this star, folks! @acrain12

This one means a lot 🄲not funded on the first go around but stuck with it and here we are! & a nice coincidence, the preprint of our manuscript stemming from aim 2 is now live on @biorxivpreprint! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

If you like any combination of histones, gene regulation, pretty IF images, and the cell cycle stop by 459T today at #Dros23 🪰! I’ll be sharing some exciting findings from my work in the @DuronioLab on the negative regulation of histone genes!

Hot off the press!! During my 1st yr rotations I took a 10-week deep dive into the world of nucleosome biochemistry while working with @a_skrajna in the McGinty Lab. Awesome to see some of the nucleosomes I made during that time used in this screen.
I'm incredibly proud to share with you my latest work, published today! nature.com/articles/s41589-0…

Happy Holidays from the Duronio lab! Nothing like a lab party and gift exchange (with stealing of course) to get in the spirit!

So much @DuronioLab turnout to support our undergrad Lucy and all the other fantastic scientists! You can see me in the second photo having a proud TA moment as one of my former students shared his work with me :)
