The Armstrong Lab's (Tancia W. Bradshaw, PhD, Chad Simmons, Rachael Ott) 1st cover courtesy of Developmental Biology! Adipocytes from adult #drosophila females w/ cell membranes in magenta (alpha spectrin Ab from DSHB), lipid droplets in yellow (BODIPY), and nuclei in blue (DAPI)

Need some guidance on immunolabeling adult #Drosophila fat body? Or just like looking at pretty fluorescent images? Check out this preprint describing work conducted by Rachael Ott, a talented former USC College of Arts and Sciences undergrad.

Please check out our new paper- a team effort- spearheaded with Antentor Othrell Hinton, Jr PhD (A.J. Hinton), called “The graduate school guide: How to prepare for the qualifying exam and assemble a thesis/graduate committee.” doi.org/10.1002/jcp.31… 1/

Our March issue is complete and available at journals.biologists.com/bio/issue/13/3, featuring meeting reviews, a review, research articles and a methods & techniques paper.
All of our content is #OpenAccess and free to read and share for everyone.

Please share! Here's our latest preprint on the university-wide mentorship program BUMMP, highlighting its profound impact on biology students from all backgrounds. In 4 years, this pioneering initiative has served over 1,350 mentees!!!

A relatively recent post was from an ECR asking how they could get ms review opportunities. I'm a new editor at Biology Open and would love to build a reviewer pool. DM me contact info if interested

Developmental biology students/postdocs: join us for this exciting new lab course at MBL in October! Applications due June 21st 2024: go.mbl.edu/CDB

Awesome mentor and awesome science!

Check out a mini-Review I composed on the genetics of #zebrafish #ENS development.

Believe it or not, 65 genes have been discovered as essential for ENS development in zebrafish, greatly expanding our understanding of vertebrate ENS development! Find out which genes below.

Got wooed over to the fly posters by the cool chromatin & germline work, but stayed for the chef's-kiss Drosophila jewelry sported by Dr. Alissa Richmond Armstrong 🪰🔬🧑🏾‍🔬 & Dr. Leila Rieder, PhD.
See? #TAGC24 *does* bring together all kinds of science-friends!

Ymani, Isaiah, and David represented the Armstrong Lab well tonight! #drosophila #TAGC24
