Steve Perlman was Matt's supervisor for his postdoc, but also my Masters supervisor, and Logan's undergraduate Honour's supervisor. We each overlapped in his lab. The honour of S. perlmani is so well-deserved. Steve is a fantastic scientist and human being.
Over the moon for Matt, for Logan, and for Steve. This is just so cool.
You really have to check out the supp videos.

CEO: We need to cut costs.
Accountant: Okay. We paid you $50 million last year. We spent $10 million on your private jet flights and luxury hotel accommodations. For some reason you are being paid $1 million for this 45 minute meeting.
CEO: I see. Who's that in the hallway?
Accountant: That's Greg. He is the only thing keeping this company from falling apart. We pay him in nickels and Grubhub gift cards.
CEO: Fire Greg.

Great work by PhD student Florian Wernert, postdoc Satish Babu Moparthi and many others from our teams 🎉
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!
