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!

Dr. Dorothy Bishop takes a major principled stand against the Muskrat. Resigns from the prestigious Royal Society.
Backbone isn't my first impression of scientific societies these days. It's nice to see a woman show hers.

A lot of people are suddenly realizing that their orgs or communities need digital security and privacy training. If you are a person with a technical or teaching background and you think you might be the right person to give such a training, you should check out the Security Education Companion for teaching materials and tips: https://www.securityeducationcompanion.org/

Does #GetFediHired work for freelance jobs?
I am open to a new Python or Django gig, effective immediately, for up to four days a week (~32 hours).
I am also skilled in HTML, CSS, and JS as progressive enhancement, and have accessibility in mind.
I work remotely from The Netherlands. Invoicing works best within the EU or the US, but outside these regions is not off the table.
