So much fun talking science with @sciantsmedia.com
What better way to kick off your weekend than our podcast? Check out our latest episode ft Dr @avmfly.bsky.social on fruit fly aging--what it can tell us, how can we extend lifespan, and beyond!

It was so much fun to join @sciantsmedia.com for a chat about all things science🪰🔬
Thank you for the wonderful Microscopy Monday! We had on special guest @avmfly.bsky.social to discuss her incredible research in fruit fly aging. Later, we discussed ibexes and did some pond water microscopy! Thank you @Negative_CPU @galiksi.bsky.social for the raids! We passed the love to @emelea!

We are three people away from 100 registrations for Midwest worm meeting! We can do this worm community! (Also thanks so much for signing up all, a big year!)
Website and registration for the 11th annual Midwest Worm Meeting on April 18th is now live. Great opportunity for trainees who might not be able to attend the bigger meetings. Also if you'd like to visit VAI or see a great Keynote by Prof. Frank Schroeder this year. - www.vai.org/event/2025-m...
