At #dros25 I had a conversation with several #Drosophila people who are far better known than I am. One is the scientist-daughter of a very famous, now deceased, Fly Person. None of them knew about this provision. The women were particularly incensed. As they should be!

Ok one more #Drosophila #Dros25 Q:
I've never used the NIG-FLY RNAi lines, but will be. Anything I should know?
I guess they're generated with a method similar to GD lines from VDRC (i.e. random insertion, long hairpins). Also PMID27730578 notes may be poorly balanced?
NIG = great price tho! 🤩

I am right there too but wanted to say that attending the amazing Drosophila research conference was a balm for the soul. Super grateful to #GSA and the #Dros25 organizers for putting it together
You know what I miss?
Science. Doing it. Thinking about it. Talking about it. Writing about it. Getting excited about it.
Maybe I’ll get to be a scientist again one day. Maybe it will matter.

Other people on seeing Giraffes - they are so pretty !!
Us Grad students- ohh their brains are small, their cardiovascular system has more valves, their feet have super tight muscles which all helps them bend down to have water 😅
They are such tall, elegant creatures ❤️❤️❤️!!

At #dros25, two classic song lyrics characterized the mood: "What a long strange trip it's been" for Denise Montell's plenary talk & for Linda Restifo's poster.
"You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone" covered the politics.
But re. this ⬇️ : "You're so vain."

Hey #Drosophila Sky and #Dros25 folks, I'm looking to help someone screen some candidate genes in muscle via RNAi.
Any recommended Gal4s? Right now planning on Mef2-GAL4, but in past have noticed this driver has some lethality in parent stock (in my old lab), so another option would be good.
