I have a new parthenogenesis paper with @LabGlover! We found that aneuploidy arises during development in natural Drosophila parthenogens and our genetically induced parthenogens @HeredityJournal doi.org/10.1038/s41437-023-0…

Just got a sneak peek at the group photo from #Centrosomes2023 in Taksim Square! 240 brilliant scientists from around the globe came together, enriching the İstanbul’s scientific bonds and outreach! – at İstanbul, Türkiye

Pallavi Panda broke my heart @centrosomes2023 by showing that centrioles work just fine even without their beautiful nine-fold symmetry. duplication. MT organisation. No pb. of course we all want to know what happens to cilia ... !

Prepare to be amazed: some parthenogenetic flies reproduce as larvae and the offspring burst forth from their mother in a sci-fi-worthy spectacle! 🪰👽 That and other fly facts in our review @labglover #Parthenogenesis #AlienInspired #Entomology

Centrosome tweeps, "Centrosomes in Development, Disease and Evolution" hybrid meeting will be in Istanbul on 26-29 September, 2023. We secured funding from @EMBO @Co_Biologists, registration will start soon. Join us for the largest international #centrosome meeting. Please RT! – at İstanbul, Türkiye

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! This is a captivating image from @Levente87 @LabGlover @Caltech. Their work discusses the evolutionary conservation of Gorab (trans-Golgi) and the divergence of binding partner Sas6 (inner core procentriole). 📖 @BiologyOpen: doi.org/10.1242/bio.059545

Our paper is finally out! After 10 years of model building we generate complete embryoids from three types of stem cells - they develop heart, brain structures and more. We show the first proof of concept knocking out a gene required for neurodevelopment nature.com/articles/s41586-0… – at Los Angeles, CA

NEW BIORXV is out: We studied the molecular architecture of the C. elegans #centriole by combining #UExM with #ElectronMicroscopy. We mapped the known centriolar components onto their ultrastructural #EM features. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Prepping for my poster at #Dros22! Next to me is @PallaviPanda18, who did summer abroad in the lab with @t_money_h, the a student from former postdoc @nicolecrown2, the a student from former postdoc @mcveylab. (More elsewhere or on other days.)

I'm excited about my first and long-awaited ADRC meeting :) If you think it is exciting what a disease causing Golgi protein does at the centriole core (as a second job), please visit my poster 668A on Thursday 2-4pm. May the fly be with you! #Dros22

@PallaviPanda18 (@LabGlover, @GeneticsCam) told us about a key and recently discovered component in #Drosophila #centriole assembly. Watch them here: youtu.be/ejm-UKCZs4c Due to unpublished work being presented, Milena's talk will not be available on YouTube.
