New paper from the lab, just in time for #Dros23! We show how Yorkie and its new interactor Bonus control cell fate decisions in the fly eye. Here is a link to download (free until April 21): authors.elsevier.com/a/1ggtb5Sx5gtw… 1/2

Extremely proud of my newest publication! Check out our study assessing a #cancer mutation in the #RNAexosome. Using #yeast we assessed how the disease-linked changes impact a highly conserved interaction of the complex! 🧬🧬🧬 (1/3) academic.oup.com/g3journal/adva…

Excited that our paper is now online! Alexey Veraksa Moberg Lab We show that the Hippo pathway and its new member, TIF1/TRIM ortholog Bon, control cell fate decisions in the Drosophila eye via a non-canonical transcriptional program. Free access in 🧵👇! #DevBio #Drosophila 1/8

Good morning #Dros23 this afternoon Joyce and I will be presenting poster 721F describing the genetic screens involved with Fly-CURR

I missed the drosophila conference but Mommed hard this weekend in awe of my oldest absolutely dominating the diamond. There’re moms who wish they could have done the same in Uvalde yesterday. My heart hurts for them. #uvaldestrong #dosomethingtexas

Diversity never weakens a system. When I read the Texas tribune report covering this my disappointment was great-and so was my relief that as someone on the job market and applied to a search at a&m they didn’t want to interview me.

I see these unicorns posted on Twitter, but I’ve never seen one IRL. Well, here it is, our talented grad student Joey got a perfect score on his F31 with host 1st submission! 🥳Nearly cried with joy- so proud of him! Cheers! 🥃

Al I can think about is those parents, those families. I remember sleep wasn’t even an option, honestly still isn’t. I’d doze off for a bit and just cry, & scream, asking why. I still do. I’d scream Ameries name. Didn’t eat for days, hated the world. I wish this pain on no one.

A great way to celebrate my return from parental leave was to attend the thesis defense of @Juantanna from the David Katz and hear some great science! A fun story detailing the functional consequences of germline gene expression in somatic cells. Congrats Dr. Rodriguez!

And another defense! This time from our very own Doug in the Moberg Lab lab. It’s been so fun to watch his story snout the role hormones play in damaged tissues that are regenerating. So proud of you Doug! #HaveANiceLife

Greatest thing I’ve seen in a while. Idk my favorite part-Juvenile simply playing tiny desk, the beer he’s drinking throughout, or the fact that he encored Back that Azz Up. Brings back the memories. Long live the 90s. npr.org/2023/06/30/118…

Congratulations Taylor and LeritLab. So very proud of you!
