I see lots of tweets about toxicity in academia. If an aspiring scientist emails you about your grad program, reply. Even if you don’t have funding. It matters to them. Be better.

I generally miss in person meetings, but attending @NESDBMeeting from my kid’s baseball games made for a great afternoon.

So many great posters at #dros21 but poster sessions are impossible to replicate and I miss them. I may need to be physically removed from the poster session at the next in person meeting I attend.


Not fly people but friends from when I started grad school in 2000. #fruitflytogether @billpaqs @MadFatChemist and Jim.

No better way to spend the day than at #dros21. Head over to the Physiology across scales session I helped organize with @singingshoes21 Michelle Bland, @Drea_Drby and @ArmstrongFlyLab RNA splicing, cell contacts, Blood Brain Barrier - it's all there.


Great #Dros21 session this morning with fabulous talks from M. Rolls, S. Parkhurst, @ApplewhiteDerek and @reis_lab Looking forward to Metabolism session chaired by @ArmstrongFlyLab @Drea_Drby and Michelle Bland.

This is a great #Dros21 EDI session. is it possible to make this session open to everyone after the meeting? @GeneticsGSA


The talk from Alana O'Reilly was simply amazing. Catch the recording if you missed the chance to gain insight on ENGAGING INDIVIDUALS #Dros21


Eric Folker Reposted

#Dros21 making a massive statement about the importance of DEI by elevating these talks to a plenary session, equal to our top research discussions. This is why I am proud to be a part of the #drosophila community.
