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'm sure this Science story on how systematic reviews are threatened by paper mills is good, but the illustration by Sara Gironi Carnevale is great

Digital preservation is not keeping up with the growth of scholarly knowledge. Recognizing its causes is the first step to securing records everywhere for future generations.
Too late! Springer has already put everything behind a paywall to stop people from reading it!!!

“I hate cats."
Death's face became a little stiffer, if that were possible. The blue glow in his eye sockets flickered red for an instant.
"I SEE," he said. The tone suggested that death was too good for cat haters.

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.
