Announcing our latest on a morphological novelty, the posterior lobe. We set out to understand how it forms at the cellular level: IT IS A SINGLE CELL TALL! Its cells evolved connections to a dynamic and ancestral ECM to do this. Congrats to @_SJSmith_ ! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Our new @CurrentBiology paper provides a rare glimpse into a morphological novelty in Drosophila eugracilis
In it, @gavinrrice and colleagues, infer and reproduce the likely initial steps of a novelty's formation

Thank you to the O'Connor-Giles lab for updating the incredible CRISPR Optimal Target Finder to include D. eugracilis. @flystocks and @_NDSSC for lines, and @FlyBaseDotOrg for being our favorite database
We also wanted to thank @kenemedtweets for all of the work on his second published project from his time as an undergrad at Pitt
Congrats to Sarah Petrosky (rebeiz lab grad student) for her latest article as an @SocDevBio communication intern!
FinchQuest is a game that takes the student from Darwin to embryos, offering a unique perspective on how scientific projects coalesce 🙌

Second, I'v had a wandering eye all my life. It makes social interactions with new people hard because they don't know what I am looking at. My associated social anxiety causes me to often not want to make eye contact. I am sure this affected my performance in sundry interviews.
So proud of Sarah Petrosky (a PhD student in my lab), who just released a podcast episode for the @GeneticsGSA series "Genetics in Your World"
She interviews @tjsmerritt about his scientific journey, transvection and how a bad day in lab can turn out OK

Hot off the press! A must read JEZ-B Special Issue on "Animal Gene Regulatory Network Evolution" by guest editors Thomas Williams (@TMWilliams2013) and Mark Rebeiz (@RebeizLab). @EED2024 @EvoDevoPanAm @evodevo_papers

Happy presenting my new paper @Biorxiv which explores current knowledge about the #genes and the #mutations known to contribute to natural phenotypic variation in #insects, based on @gephebase, a manually curated database.

very curious to know what folks think...
