Happy to share the lab’s latest preprint! Led by PhD student @isaiahwill.bsky.social, we hope that this thorough characterization of expression patterns for many #drosophila fat body driver lines will be a useful resource to the fruit fly community.

A “bright” spot in this week - a confocal image of the adult fat body in #Drosophila taken by @isaiahwill.bsky.social 🤩 #FluorescenceFriday

@isaiahwill.bsky.social gave a great talk for the culmination of the scicomm course he took this semester!

‘Tis the season! We celebrated the end of the semester w/ food, fellowship, trivia playing, & paper snowflake making. Training these folks is the best part of my job! It was no small scheduling feat to get all of us together! @isaiahwill.bsky.social @carlycooper.bsky.social @oliviatank.bsky.social
