Dr Michelle @Drosmel@social.cleverlibre.org
PhD in Cell Biology
Currently a Postdoc in Anatomy and Cell Biology at the University of Iowa
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!

I'm on the academic job market this fall! 🥳
I recently completed my PhD, and I'm looking for a 3+ year postdoc position. I'm also applying to fellowships to potentially work on my own project ideas. 🔭
Buckle up! It's time for a thread of self-promo 😇

I've never thought anything but good things about black cats, but this one made me chuckle.

@natematias Barbara McClintock discovered transposase, an enzyme essential for genetic engineering, and nobody believed her for many years.
She eventually won the Nobel Prize.

There are some complex muscles surrounding the eating apparatus of a sea urchin. The middle of this contraption is called an Aristotle Lantern.

My podcast "Natural Prodcast" about the science and scientists of #SecondaryMetabolism and #naturalproducts is now returning to your podcast feeds after a fairly long break.
In this 20th episode, we talk to the brilliant @BrianOBachmann about drug discovery and genome mining, among other fun other ideas from his research. Show notes and transcripts are at:

The donut vending machine is the greatest invention ever
I saw this on my walk yesterday. It's a ghost plant and lacks chlorophyll. Instead it feeds off fungi. I feel fortunate to have seen it
