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!

Our Drosophila museomic study, with Marcus Stensmyr, (@MarcusStensmyr) is now online!
https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.3002333
Got mainly high quality genomes without grinding anything up, including from >200 year old flies representing the oldest known specimens of Dmel, and reflecting its early days in northern Europe. Saw evidence for local genetic differentiation followed by homogenization. Learned new things about known selection genes like CHKov. Found new targets of strong recent selection like Ahcy.

I can't wait to share some of the components with the #Drosophila community at the #CSHL meeting today. When my poster was accepted, I wanted to bring some parts. On second thought, that turned out to be a full setup of our #virtualReality for #fruitfly - and more.
If you are here, drop by my "poster" 226 in the Nicholls Biondi Hall at 2pm.

Congrats to my colleagues Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman on the Nobel Prize!
My favorite part of this news is knowing that more people (including kids) will get to hear and be inspired by the story behind the science and scientists (especially Kariko).
