🔎 Spotted in @GeneticsGSA! Researchers from @UMassBoston used DSHB's anti-DE-cadherin [DCAD2] mAb in a study on the functions of the Mnb/Reps/Rlip/Rala signaling network in organ growth and neurodevelopment. 📄 tinyurl.com/5n8rhh78 🧫 dshb.biology.uiowa.edu/DCAD2

We are looking for a mammalian cell culture expression vector that needs to satisfy two criteria: 1) presence of a selection marker (e.g. puromycin resistance), 2) reliable inducible control of expression (e.g. Tet). Suggestions? Please RT

Achievement unlocked, and the Kelliher Lab is open for new & exciting research in Biology at @UMassBoston! Our group will study nutrients and the circadian clock. Recruiting at all levels: reach out if you are looking to move to Boston, and this could be your lab view! 🍄⏰📈

This must be tweeted every Halloween. I don’t make the rules.

@Veraksalab Hard work and dedication pays off in the form of perfectly cooked burgers! 🍔👨🏻‍🔬

This is what you are getting your PhD for:

Never thought I’d see the day that google was down 😅

Using single cell proteomics instead of a Western to get your paper into Science

"The decision whether or not to bear a child is central to a woman’s life, to her wellbeing and dignity. It’s a decision she must make for herself" - Ruth Bader Ginsburg

You can never ban abortion, you can only ban safe abortions. Read that again.

Abortion, which is lifesaving in cases of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, etc, will now be illegal in many states & even criminal in some & women will die as a result of this decision. So don't tell me you're pro-life.

Most Americans believe the decision to have a child is one of the most sacred decisions there is, and that such decisions should remain between patients and their doctors. Today’s Supreme Court opinion will live in infamy as a step backward for women's rights and human rights.

intellectually knowing that something is coming does not prepare you for the devastation in the body when it hits

women who have ectopic pregnancies, miscarriages, stillbirths, chemical pregnancies, neonatal pregnancies, or any other life-threatening pregnancy are going to suffer because of a man’s opinion.

Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.

When the experiment finally works but you have no idea how.

Excited to share my research this year at #SFN22 🧠🪰
