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!

I met this cat today at the local cat Cafe. He is partially blind and is an absolute sweetheart. Should I adopt him?
I saw this in the parking garage. I am in Iowa. Has Canada started making sports cars? If so, totally want one!

If you are a scientist in the Iowa City area, this will be happening on Friday
Our boy Eddie passed away today at 17. He was one of the sweetest cats i have ever had. I am going to miss him. This year really sucks.
A friend of mine made this quilt for a postdoc I work with whose wife is having a baby. She titled it "Model Organisms". I hope they like it! And the lower right hand block is a tardigrade! #Drosophila #quilt #science # biology #fabricarts
Imaging an experiment for an upcoming paper I hope to submit soon. #SilentSunday#LabLife
This is Chu Qi. I am taking care of her while her Chinese mom is away. I only know nihao
