I can't wait to share some of the components with the #Drosophila community at the #CSHL meeting today. When my poster was accepted, I wanted to bring some parts. On second thought, that turned out to be a full setup of our #virtualReality for #fruitfly - and more.

If you are here, drop by my "poster" 226 in the Nicholls Biondi Hall at 2pm.

Congrats to my colleagues Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman on the Nobel Prize!

My favorite part of this news is knowing that more people (including kids) will get to hear and be inspired by the story behind the science and scientists (especially Kariko).
