As an undergrad I had a senior thesis project looking at x-linked indel in drosophila and smushed some salivary glands to look at the polytene chromosomes. 24 years doing it in blow flies!

NSF IUCRC program indicates return on investment for industry partners is $42 for each $1 contributed - well, @CEIF_InsectAg is projecting $86 return/$1 invested during 2024, which is basically $2.1M of work for $25K invested by an industry partner @SciencePicard @hwillia8

The market for insect ingredients is “definitely growing at what I would think is an exponential speed,” said Dr. Christine Picard, professor at IUPUI. Picard helped create the CEIF, a partnership between academia and industry including Tyson and Protix. cnn.com/2023/10/20/business/…
Thanks @Delta - even though a flight cancellation means we lose a day on our vacation - they helped us salvage our trip by working with us so we don’t miss out on an experience that was planned.
I’m recruiting at least 1 new student - reach out for more info!
