So much Duronio Lab turnout to support our undergrad Lucy and all the other fantastic scientists! You can see me in the second photo having a proud TA moment as one of my former students shared his work with me :)

Job alert! UNC Lineberger, in collaboration with UNC School of Medicine and UNC-Chapel Hill, is seeking outstanding candidates for faculty positions at all ranks in basic and translational cancer research. go.unc.edu/Bs63H #faculty #CancerResearch

Happy Holidays from the Duronio lab! Nothing like a lab party and gift exchange (with stealing of course) to get in the spirit!

Nice to see NIH highlighting the value of small animals (not simple, not lower, not model) nei.nih.gov/about/news-and…

Duronio Lab, @McKayLab, and Matera Lab’s have arrived at #Dros23. Fresh off tacos and margaritas, looking forward to a great meeting! And Go ‘Heels on Saturday!!

If you like any combination of histones, gene regulation, pretty IF images, and the cell cycle stop by 459T today at #Dros23 🪰! I’ll be sharing some exciting findings from my work in the Duronio Lab on the negative regulation of histone genes!

Hey #Dros23 I’ll miss you. Thanks for the lovely new connections with the fly community, invigorating discussions about science, and unforgettable time with the Duronio Lab <3 I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon this group of people.

🎉 Congratulations to Jeffery Dangl, the John N. Couch Distinguished Professor of Biology, for being elected a Foreign Member of the Royal Society, the U.K.’s national academy of sciences. Read more about this honor: college.unc.edu/2023/05/dangl-… UNC_Biology The Royal Society

Congrats to Mia Hoover who graduates from Carolina today! Mentored by Jim Kemp for her UG research; look out for their paper on HLBs later this year.

Dr. Aaron Crain, everyone! I’m so grateful he was my first scientific mentor in the Duronio Lab, and I’m even more thankful to call him my friend. So earnest, compassionate, patient, and generous with his science, energy, and time. Watch out for this star, folks! Aaron Crain

Lab bucket list activity to help celebrate Aaron Crain’s wonderful thesis defense last week! Whoever thought of combining range golf with darts is an evil scientist genius.

Very excited to share the work of UNC Genetics PhD graduate student Jeanne-Marie McPherson in her first, first-author paper now available in Genetics Society of America. Fun collaboration with Duronio Lab! academic.oup.com/genetics/advan…

Thanks for the ridiculously adorable photo display, super thoughtful and generous tour of Baltimore y’all planned for me, and for truly being the best lab I could’ve ended up in to start my scientific career. Love you all. See you soon. 🪰🥹🫶🏻 Duronio Lab

Still thinking about @cshldnarep & the amazing science+people! Thanks to all participants - especially cochairs John (John Diffley) and Bob (Duronio Lab) for their help. Time to step down but looking forward to the next with new cochair Agata Smogorzewska (Agata Smogorzewska)!
