We've seen the light, and with great spatial and temporal resolution, too! 💡 Happy to announce that our collaboration with David Stein UT Austin describing a new photo-N-degron for in vivo #optogenetics studies is now online! PLOS Genetics journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…

Best wishes to Theodora Koromila as she prepares to move to Texas to set up her own lab at @utarlington! We look forward to the exciting new discoveries the Koromila Lab has in store! 👩‍🔬

FP maturation times got you down? No prob-llama! Our latest study helmed by postdoc Zsuzsa Ákos and published in Development describes NaNuTrap, a technique that utilizes llama nanobodies for rapid labeling of nuclei in #Drosophila for live imaging! rb.gy/acrxrq

Had a great time carving pumpkins with the Rebecca Voorhees! The pumpkins were so cool -- one might even venture to say, gourd-geous! 🎃

Merry Flymas from the Stathopoulos Lab! May you and your loved ones have a safe and joyous holiday! 🎄

On the brink(er) of a breakthrough? Susie @suztown explains her and Leslie’s beautiful work on characterizing the regulation of brinker in the ovary and its roles in regulating tissue homeostasis and Dpp levels! Read the story here: bit.ly/3Ksuwxt #Dros22

WE ARE HIRING in sunny Los Angeles! (1) Postdoc position to study how signaling checkpoints act to ensure cells migrating off-track are eliminated by programmed cell death. (2) An entry-level research technician position is available to provide support. stathlab.caltech.edu/contact

If you're a cell, taking the road less traveled can have deadly consequences.🛣️ Happy to announce that postdoc Frank Macabenta and former undergrad Miriam Sun's new paper on quality control during collective migration has been published in Developmental Cell! tinyurl.com/mr2md8rd

We had a farewell party for postdocs Susie Newcomb @suztown and Frank Macabenta this weekend as they move on to new positions! Susie will be an Assistant Director for Faculty Development at the USC CET, and Frank will be an Assistant Professor at Cal State Monterey Bay! All the best to both!

My artwork made it to cover of Developmental Cell! It’s a representation of the findings of our latest study. Can’t imagine a better way to mark my last day as a postdoc!
