I have returned from Fly Meeting-yes where fruit fly 🪰 scientists from around the world talk about discoveries in flies that typically have relevance to human health and disease!! 🧬 Thankful to have strengthened friendships with old friends and made quite a few new ones ❤️❤️

The Rieder lab is hiring a lab manager!

Dr. Casey Schmidt, Emory FIRST IRACDA Fellow, presenting her research on characterization of HLB regulation in Drosophila melanogaster at the Annual #IRACDA2023 Conference.

Today I learned that it’s hard to teach bioinformatics in 45 minutes 😅 #ABLE2023

Important work by Tommy O’Haren--we were surprised to find that the Drosophila pioneer factor Zelda, despite targeting the zygotic histone genes, doesn't seem to be doing much at the locus!

Loved to see incorporation of climate data by setting up weather stations! This could finally be my chance to collaborate with my brother Jeff Schmidt 😂

Happy that I got to meet up with my future Lafayette College colleague Tamara Stawicki, PhD and learn a little bit about zebrafish hair cells! #TAGC24

Thank you Dr. Leila Rieder, PhD for bringing us to this fantastic meeting! #TAGC24

Long-shot ask: do any Drosophilists have a stock of the abo2 allele? It’s no longer available at BDSC, but we’d love to get our hands on it…! Harmit S. Malik Dr. Leila Rieder, PhD

What a fantastic presentation! Everything you’d want from a PhD defense- superb storytelling, beautiful data, and recognition of the ups and downs of science. Excellent job, Risa Takenaka! It’s been a pleasure to collaborate with you and I’m excited for the next experiments 🪰

We’re hiring a teaching & research support specialist at Lafayette! Feel free to reach out with any questions. apply.interfolio.com/152307
