Curious about where are all the egg genes for fertilization?
Come listen to my talk on Monday morning (Development 2) and I'll tell you about how I've been cracking the egg to find these genes and how glycans play a role! #worm25

While it is a dark time for US science, I'm grateful to be able to celebrate some recent lab successes! A brief thread... 🧵 First, the final version of our article on the katherine johnson (kj) gene came out in GENETICS @genetics-gsa.bsky.social in March! academic.oup.com/genetics/art...
An orphan gene is essential for efficient sperm entry into eggs in Drosophila melanogaster
Abstract. While spermatogenesis has been extensively characterized in the Drosophila melanogaster model system, very little is known about the genes requir

This is just devastating. My IRACDA experience has shaped my postdoc, I loved the combination of research and teaching. I highly doubt I would have gotten my K99 funded without the support of the whole program. I truly feel gutted.
Another terrible day for young scientists. The NIH just sent termination notices for the MARC, PREP, IMSD, IRACDA and Bridges programs.

I miss when the biggest controversy about mRNA was whether it correlated with protein or not.
