Thank you to Bob, the lab, and CMDB for all of the support, and the lab for an incredible surprise Shrek after party. You know what they say, the years start coming and they don't stop coming and suddenly you find yourself at your defense.

Congrats to Dr. @_chrisT3na, newest PhD from the Johnston lab! As her X handle suggests, "Mac" made amazing discoveries about how thyroid hormone (T3) is regulated in the retina to control development. Mac is an amazing scientist and colleague and I am so proud of her!

We are making chimeric organoids. As a fly person, we'd call a group of cells of the same genotype "a clone". What is it called in chimeras? A clone? A patch? Other?
Any help would be appreciated!

Thought I’d be writing my thesis poolside, instead I’ve found myself alone in a dark room with the scope 😅 would recommend imaging experiments when they’re done (2021) instead of waiting until it’s time to write about them (2024)
