Ran across this yesterday in our TEM imaging. Muscle nuclei have feelings too😆

Coincidence that 'Muscle Bucky' was outside my hotel while attending a Mechanisms of Muscle Growth and Development meeting in Madison? Probably fate:)

The Geisbrecht Lab migration. With bittersweet memories of Burt Hall, we rounded up our experiments and moved across the street to make new attachments with colleagues and students in Chalmers Hall. Can't wait to get back to research!

Excited my students could share their work at the Drosophila conference. The excitement upon their return to lab is contagious. Much thanks to @KStateCancerRes for travel awards.

Muscle loss is a disabling consequence of #aging and #disease, but now tobacco hawk moth pupae are teaching us about some of the key players, allowing scientists to identify a crucial regulator, Ciboulot, controlling #muscleloss journals.biologists.com/jeb/…

These flies were shipped by an international colleague in July 2020. They arrived yesterday. We don't need more reasons to slow down basic research.

There are now many tools to help connect model organism and clinical researchers. GSA President Hugo Bellen has launched a new webinar series to introduce these and other tools for exploring gene function across humans and model organisms. Sign up now! bit.ly/3wh5D06

Sometimes #Mondays are soul-sucking and other times your PhD advisor texts you with fresh screenshots that resurrect a grad project you thought might never see the light of day again. @GeisbrechtE_Lab youtube.com/watch?v=A94dmLth…

I hope I am not the only scientist who secretly gives herself a high five on a Saturday morning in the microscope room after finding a new mutant in her screen. Some days science is great.
