Muy contenta de compartir esta semana aprendiendo de #CRISPR en plantas con Sandra Valdés y enseñando #CRISPR en mariposas en Congreso Colombiano Biología Desarrollo Universidad de Antioquia en un laboratorio con #axolotls 🤩🤩🤩

🦋🧬 Three pre-prints show a locus housing the lncRNA 'ivory' and a miRNA involved in fine-tuning melanic pigmentation in butterflies🔥🔥🔥. Congrats to MilesLuca Rick Fandino PhD Shen Tian 田申 . Check pre-prints👇🏽

Last December, a Duke University Magazine article explored the "uncertain future" of the Duke Herbarium. dukemag.duke.edu/stories/nowher… The scientific community is now learning that Duke has decided that this facility will be closed. This is bad, and here's why.

Thrilled to share a *NEW PRE-PRINT* I’ve been working on for the last few years! Michael Sheehan, W. Freiwald, and I describe the neural correlates of individual facial recognition in a social wasp, Polistes fuscatus. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/10

Amazing work!!! What an update 🤯 from butterflies to flies. Congratulations

Just out BMC Biology! Gene gain and loss from the Asian corn borer moth W chromosome. I'm amazed by the W assemblies possible from the new PacBio/Omni-C data. A really fun collaboration with Wenting Dai and Liping Ban. bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

New babies in the lab!

Our latest monthly #preprint list is out! Have a look at the #DevBio and stem cell biology preprints that came out in May. Congrats to all authors 🎉 📃thenode.biologists.com/may-in-preprin…

"Here, we report a broad survey of plasmids from hundreds of academic and industrial labs worldwide. We show that nearly half of them contained design and/or sequence errors." Trust nothing; validate everything. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I’m very excited to be presenting my poster “Elucidating drivers of angiogenesis during zebrafish caudal fin regeneration using a novel ‘AngioTag’ transgenic line” at #2024SDB! Come by on Tuesday and check it out!

Dear botanical friends. I am pleased to share our mss aiming to understand floral fusion. If you want to learn more about the gynostemium (stamens + stigmatic tips) check our paper here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Being a #NewPI is a 🎢 Lab is half-built 🏗️💆🏽‍♀️😮‍💨... But today, I got my first caterpillars in the lab 🐛 thx to Donya Shodja & Arnaud Martin. Also, got new toys 🔬 🎉. Today, I dream about the exciting science my team will dive into soon. Very excited 💃🏽

Someone is really into fresh orange juice! #Papilio

I bought a parsley plant in the store and came with babies 🐛🐛. we have new caterpillars in the lab 😅

Happy Friday!

Our paper on the ivory lncRNA is out today, and made the cover of PNAS! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

#HispanicHeritageMonth starts today! ✨ Join us in celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of individuals whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America: hispanicheritagemonth.gov

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, we present The Atlas of Inspiring Hispanic/Latinx Scientists. This resource showcases the scientific excellence of nearly 400 outstanding scientists. #LatinxAtlas #HispanicHeritageMonth fredhutch.org/en/about/about…
