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!

On Trans Day of Visibility, like every other day of the year, I continue to accept, respect and support trans people.
I don't understand being trans, but - good news! - I don't have to.
I know who I am better than anyone else does, and I have always found other people know who they are too. Simple.

I love the fact that the image is a) of an Orange amplifier and b) has a University of Hull crest photoshopped onto it.
Anyway, postgrad study opportunities in amplification & human cultures here.

I’m not going to say there’s a lot of overlap between digital preservation librarianship and knitting, because this post says it more clearly than I ever could. https://digitalpreservation-blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/knitting-through-digital-decay-a-collection-of-digital-preservation-jumpers-no-one-asked-for-but-478c48009521

Dear community,
my friend is thinking about joining Mastodon and/or the fediverse. Specifically, she is looking for the #spanish speaking #archeology community!
As we all know it is notoriously difficult to find a server that matches our preferences (language, region, interests, moderation policies...)
Aggregators like www.joinmastodon.org or #fedigarden rely on server #admins to register their instances (*cough I would not have found fedihum there)
edit: thank you! You helped a lot!
Went out to dinner by myself. This is a big step for me, I don't have anyone here to go out with, and I get uncomfortable and anxious on my own in public
I filed adoption papers for a cat. I don't know if I will get him, but I am in love
Took the day off and did a lot of cleaning

Cleaning a stovetop has never been this hilarious! 😊

I'm looking for a job. I have 30 years of experience doing complex systems programming in many languages, most recently Typescript, Haskell, and Python. I learn quickly. I can do advanced mathematics.
In 2024 I helped a company migrate 15,000 customers from another company into their own systems.
In 2023 I helped develop a differential privacy database product written in Haskell.
Before that I helped develop a laboratory information management system that tracked up to 40,000 Covid-19 tests per day.
I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, but I have years of success working remotely, and I am also willing to consider relocation.
Please check out my CV.
I met this cat today at the local cat Cafe. He is partially blind and is an absolute sweetheart. Should I adopt him?
