Hosted a joint lab retreat with @LOBrienLab.  Shared lots of science, some lore, and a bit of history, and introduced the Stanford folks to some of the joys of Berkeley.

Have you ever wondered how our tissues stay healthy, and how they are able to identify and remove abnormal cells? Click authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti… @CurrentBiology for the whole story. 1/9 #devbio #cellbio #tumor #axonguidance #cellcompetition #SFB850 #Ras #Drosophila #JNK #teneurin

Fun @bilderlab outing at the ballpark last night! So far, the @SFGiants have a 100% win rate whenever the lab is at the game 😉😉

At group meeting this week, we introduced the three @bilderlab expat postdocs (Hui-yu Ku, Yoshiki Sanai, Stephan Gerlach) to good old American #Twinkies.  Check out the before and after.

Golden Dragon pluots edge out Dapple Jack pluots for overall best. Birthday celebrant @KatyOng1 and @CajulaoJan provide the tie breaking votes. O'Henry yellows from JJ Ramos orchard take the peach/ nectarine category. @BerkeleyBowl

Some labs do whiskey tastings… Preparing for @KatyOng1’s birthday celebration, which always coincides with stone fruit season. Here’s a partial guide to today's buy from @BerekelyBowl.   White peaches and white nectarines underrepresented, b/c really? Will post lab favorites

Reminded to post this: before @HSCRB seminar in May. I first learned to be a scientist here in the Biolabs working with @StainierLab and Wally Gilbert. Knew I had the ‘bug’ when I found myself going into lab even when I didn’t have experiments to do….

I’ll wrap here with thank yous to @DamonRunyon and @TheMarkFdn for funding my work! Fruit flies are a pretty unconventional cancer model, but these folks took the risk to support it. Looking forward to sharing more as I continue to work towards an independent lab!
