Skype A Scientist@SkypeScientist2 Aug 2023
Skype a Scientist's fall semester is OPEN! Sign up your class! Your scout troop! Your book club! Your Library! Have a Q&A with a scientist totally for free! We have hundreds (soon to be thousands) of scientist volunteers who are ready to talk with you! bit.ly/EnrollFall2023
An explainer for skype a scientist that says "Skype a Scientist chat with scientists FOR FREE" followed by "How it works: Step 1: Sign up on SkypeAScientist.com Step 2: Pick types of science your group would like to talk about (30 categories!) Step 3: Connect with your scientist via email and pick a time to chat. Step 4: Talk to your scientist!" and a little logo of ours and these words "Skype a Scientist is a Philly- based science communication 501(c)3 non-profit "

I am excited to share the final version of our work on the genetic basis of virgin birth (parthenogenesis) in fruit flies! It was a joy working with @DK_Fabian @erikgarrison @LabGlover on this understudied phenomenon. cell.com/current-biology/ful…

A genetic basis for facultative parthenogenesis in Drosophila

Sperling et al. demonstrate that facultative parthenogenesis can be engineered in the non-parthenogenetic D. melanogaster by manipulating candidate genes identified in the naturally parthenogenetic...

It is incredibly sad news to hear about the passing of Michael Ashburner. He was an incredible scientist, propelling both Drosophila genetics and genomics. A true leader that will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with his loved ones.

We developed the pJAT plasmid to make cloning for #CRISPR easier, but found it also has much higher HDR success (~25%) in different #Drosophila species. It has made previously impossible experiments possible!

We've assembled the first draft of a #FlyLabList wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBas…, aiming to include all labs doing Drosophila (any species) research. Our goal is to help our colleagues find Fly Labs in particular geographical locations & to gain an accurate number of Fly Labs worldwide.
