Dr Michelle @Drosmel@qoto.org
PhD in Cell Biology
I am a Research Scientist and lab manager for the Tootle lab in the Biology department at the University of Iowa. We use Drosophila oogenesis to understand the mechanisms regulating prostaglandin production and function. My particular interest is the developmental roles of lipid droplets and their connection to prostaglandins.
I love biology and teaching people about what is happening in cells. I also am really interested in microscopy.
I also like cats, horses and horseback riding, fish keeping (I have two aquariums), video games-particularly the Half-Life franchise and Half Life mods, and I have recently gotten into VR (NOT META!) so if you want to chat about any of these topics that would be great!

Just what I needed during this rough week. Went to a live screening of Napoleon Dynamite with a live Q and A with Jon Heder, Effron Ramirez, and Jon Gries afterward. It felt good to tune out the current craziness and have fun.
Sitting on my my balcony, drinking wine, watching the boats, reading a Terry Pratchett novel, and listening to the seagulls fight. This trip home to Seattle is a little more than I wanted to spend, but my soul needed it.
Video game development need to create a player vs cat game # catsofmastodon#videogames#caturday
I have been taking care of this handsome boy while his mom is in Paris for the Olympics
