Still thinking about @cshldnarep & the amazing science+people! Thanks to all participants - especially cochairs John (@DiffleyLab) and Bob (@DuronioLab) for their help. Time to step down but looking forward to the next with new cochair Agata Smogorzewska (@MaintainGenome)!

State of the Lab by @duronio_bob at the @DuronioLab retreat. 27 years, 25 grad students, 75+ undergrads, and a bunch of cool science! 🤯😀

Thanks for the ridiculously adorable photo display, super thoughtful and generous tour of Baltimore y’all planned for me, and for truly being the best lab I could’ve ended up in to start my scientific career. Love you all. See you soon. 🪰🥹🫶🏻 @DuronioLab

✨Harnessing the power of Drosophila✨ to ask Q's about the roles of canonical and variant histones in genome function and development.
A 🧵about this little journey, which was a pretty wonderful first project in the @DuronioLab and @DMcKay_Lab. 1/9

Very excited to share the work of @UNC_GMB graduate student @gene_marie_3 in her first, first-author paper now available in @GeneticsGSA. Fun collaboration with @DuronioLab!

Dr. Aaron Crain, everyone! I’m so grateful he was my first scientific mentor in the @DuronioLab, and I’m even more thankful to call him my friend. So earnest, compassionate, patient, and generous with his science, energy, and time. Watch out for this star, folks! @acrain12

This one means a lot 🥲not funded on the first go around but stuck with it and here we are!
& a nice coincidence, the preprint of our manuscript stemming from aim 2 is now live on @biorxivpreprint! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Congratulations @gene_marie_3 for getting her predoctoral fellowship funded by @NIHAging with @DuronioLab. You earned this one!!

Hey #Dros23 I’ll miss you. Thanks for the lovely new connections with the fly community, invigorating discussions about science, and unforgettable time with the @DuronioLab <3 I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon this group of people.

If you like any combination of histones, gene regulation, pretty IF images, and the cell cycle stop by 459T today at #Dros23 🪰! I’ll be sharing some exciting findings from my work in the @DuronioLab on the negative regulation of histone genes!

Hot off the press!!
During my 1st yr rotations I took a 10-week deep dive into the world of nucleosome biochemistry while working with @a_skrajna in the McGinty Lab. Awesome to see some of the nucleosomes I made during that time used in this screen.
I'm incredibly proud to share with you my latest work, published today! nature.com/articles/s41589-0…

Nice to see @NIH highlighting the value of small animals (not simple, not lower, not model) nei.nih.gov/about/news-and-e…

So much @DuronioLab turnout to support our undergrad Lucy and all the other fantastic scientists! You can see me in the second photo having a proud TA moment as one of my former students shared his work with me :)

Missed The @FASEBorg Nuclear Bodies Conference this year? Read the Meeting Report in the FASEB Journal doi.org/10.1096/fj.202201455…; then sign up to be notified of the next conference, bit.ly/37LRHog.

ALT This FASEB Science Research Conference (SRC) is the only conference focused exclusively on nuclear bodies. This inaugural meeting will focus on the most recent developments linking the biology of nuclear bodies to cancer and other disease states. This conference aims to unite distinguished researchers as well as new investigators from different fields – such as cell biology, genomics, biophysics, and cancer biology – to foster interdisciplinary synergism, crosstalk, and future collaborations.

Check out a great collaborative effort postulating that H3.2 and H3.3 K36 residues repress Hox genes through different mechanisms! Thanks to Harmony Salzler, Vasudha Vandadi, @JBrownScience, @mpmeers, @jeremy_m_simon, @DuronioLab, @DMcKay_Lab, @materalab, & others!

100 mile @TheVictoryRide to raise cancer research money for @UNC_Lineberger! It took a UNC/Duke collaboration with @gene_marie_3 @memanuele123 and @cdkontos to pull me to the finish line!

Nothing in life is certain except for death, taxes, and fly flipping 🪰 At least the @DuronioLab makes it fun! @duronio_bob @gene_marie_3 @acrain12 @meganbrienne | @geneseesci
