DNA Extraction question! 🧬
I'm ISO a good kit that is cost effective, works in plate format, and will provide good yields from whole-body single individual Drosophila samples 🪰. Our lab previously used the Axygen kit but they don't have enough in stock rn. Plz RT

But, individually, we can conquer imposter syndrome - because people are really out here submitting first drafts. Don't do that. But, don't pursue perfection either. A lot of revising happens between acceptance and publication.
Perfect is the worst enemy of good enough.

June marks the start of #Pride, and we couldn’t be more excited to announce the publication of A Little Gay Natural History! (1/2)
ALT A photograph of a new book, A Little Gay Natural History. It is being held up against the glass of one of the wonder bays in Hintze hall in the Natural History Museum. Butterflies of different species are scattered in the background. On the front cover, there is a butterfly with a rainbow pattern on its wings.

Racial inequalities in journals highlighted in giant study finds discrimination against members of under-represented groups in academic publishing leads to lower citation rates, fewer editorial-board positions and longer manuscript-review periods. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Our study on #butterfly #evolution, #hostplants & #ranges is now formally out! We built a phylogeny of 2000 sp and found butterflies originated in N. America 100M years ago, likely fed on legumes. ~100 scientists from 28 countries contributed. Thanks all! nature.com/articles/s41559-0…

For #TransDayOfVisibility I have one simple request:
Read a book by a trans author / about a trans person!
Here are 16 books that I read recently and they were all A+
Reading books by authors with a different experience builds empathy, knowledge, & compassion.
ALT Screenshot of book covers for 16 books Peter Darling, Austin Chant Memoir of a Transgender Scientist, Ben Barres The Craft of Love, EE Ottoman I’m Not A Girl, Maddox Lyons My Shadow is Purple, Scott Stuart Me and My Dysphoria Monster PET, Emezi The Loudest Bark, Gail Schwartz Reverb, Anna Zabo A Light From Uncommon Stars, Ryka Aoki Cheer Up!

Happy #TransDayofVisibility. @JustLikeUsUK's new research today!
Knowing a trans person makes you twice as likely to be an ally
Most anti-trans ppl don't even know a trans person
Lesbians are the most supportive of trans people in the LGB+ community!
