Photo of the CDC memorial honoring employees who gave their lives in the service of public health. The memorial features a curved, perforated metal surface with a raised CDC logo in the center. Attached nameplates include ‘Diane Berry Caves,’ ‘George Flowers,’ ‘Roger Dublingon,’ and ‘Officer David Rose.’ In the background, a dark wall displays the inscription: ‘In Honor of Those Employees of CDC Who Gave Their Lives in the Service of the Public’s Health.’
Officer David Rose, 33, a former Marine and DeKalb County officer, has been added to CDC’s memorial plaque, honoring those who gave their lives in service of public health. He died protecting our CDC campus, staff, and contractors during a 2025 act of domestic terrorism fueled by misinformation.
Lilian Vaughan Morgan was an incredible #WomenInSTEM that ought to be a household name.
The fly community still uses tools she discovered a century ago. 🪰🤯
Her findings seeded "Bridges' theory" of sex determination by genic balance.🧬❤️

Great opportunity!
I work fairly closely with the grant-witness team. Good humans and an impressive array of skill sets.
I always feel like a complete data science amateur during our calls.
Are you attending the #Dros26 Fly Meeting in Chicago?
Please join me at the #SUFS rally on Sat, Mar 7, 1pm, at the Federal Plaza, 230 S. Dearborn Street.
The rally site is ≈1.25 miles away from the conference hotel & is easily accessible by CTA buses.

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

My awesome colleague, @yarimura.bsky.social, is recruiting a postdoc to start at the end of 2026 or early 2027! His lab uses cryo-EM to uncover structural basis of key chromatin events using native complexes isolated from human cells or Xenopus egg extracts!

Insect research has used Drosophila as a model organism for over a century. But today’s tools now open up a much wider spectrum of insects which deserve to be studied. See the recent commentary in @fly-journal.bsky.social by @peterkdearden.bsky.social, ‘Why just fly?’ doi.org/10.1080/1933...

I have a male friend who spent some time in Axel's lab. About the 3rd conversation he had with Axel, Axel broke the ice with "So, have you fucked [a female postdoc in the lab] yet?"
My friend was horrified...

This image is a public health graphic promoting flu vaccination. The background is green with a forest silhouette, suggesting an outdoor, natural setting. At the top, large text reads: “A flu vaccine can take flu from”. In the center, the word “WILD” appears in bold white letters next to a large elk with prominent antlers. To the right, the phrase “to mild” appears in lighter script, next to a small deer fawn, visually contrasting severe illness with a milder outcome. At the bottom, the message says: “Talk to your health care provider to tame the worst of flu.” A #FightFlu tag and the logo of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention appear in the lower right corner.
💉Influenza activity continues to be high across the nation. There’s still time to benefit from getting a flu vaccine. 💉

This image is a public health infographic about measles and how easily it spreads. Headline: “MEASLES” appears in large white letters at the top, with the logo of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the upper right. Main message: Measles is highly contagious and spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Visual illustration: A large red figure represents one infected person. Surrounding orange figures represent people exposed to infection. One darker figure suggests someone not infected or protected. Key statistic: If one person has measles, 9 out of 10 people nearby who are not protected will also become infected.
Measles is one of the most contagious viruses we know of. Once the percentage of people in a population who are immune to measles falls below ~90%, measles can rapidly infect non-immune and immunosuppressed people throughout a community. This is what we are seeing now across the country.
HEY! Are you around Boise???? We need volunteers to support an event there!
