I think one of the best ways to motivate other scientists is publicly recognizing their ideas, even if you work on them. Unfortunately many famous scientists hear an idea and the somehow decide it was theirs.

We are deeply sadden by the sudden loss of Scott. He was an astounding mentor and brought so much to the community on top of his excellent science. His legacy will live on

Sadly, our colleague and friend Scott Hawley passed away this morning. He was an irreplaceable presence and force for good in the meiosis an Drosophila communities and will be sorely missed.

New preprint from the lab, in collaboration with the Olivier Loudet's lab. We combined our expertises to show that Enhanced recombination empowers the detection and mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci.
