over the moon to share the news that I got selected as a @HHMINEWS Hanna Gray Fellow 😄 super humbled to join this wonderful community to learn and grow and do cool science!! 🔬🧪🧬 also thanks to so many of my mentors and friends who have supported me along the way 🙏.
Today we're thrilled to announce our 2024 #HannaGrayFellows! Please join us in welcoming and celebrating these outstanding early career scientists! . This cohort includes scientists working in research areas ranging from treatment-resistant cancers to sleep dysregulation to how

thank you @emilianomarti7 @AmLarracuente @TrendsGenetics for taking the time to write such a thoughtful commentary of our recent paper on genome defense @PNASNews @Caltech & articulate the evolutionary implications of our work -- what a treat!! 😆.
In a new Trends in Genetics piece, @AmLarracuente and I spotlight an amazing work lead by @peiwei_chen uncovering Trailblazer—a regulatory innovation in the in piRNA pathway to suppress the meiotic driver Stellate. Check it out:

looking forward to sharing my PhD work with @AlexeiAravin @Caltech at #Dros25 tonight & meeting old and new friends throughout the fly meeting 😀.
We're excited to announce the 2025 Larry Sandler Award recipient, @peiwei_chen 🎉. This award honors students completing a PhD in Drosophila research. Dr. Chen will present the Larry Sandler Memorial Lecture on evolutionary innovation in genome defense at #Dros25 in March. 1/3🧵

deeply humbled to receive the Larry Sandler Award, named after the father of meiotic drive. I'd like to think this award belongs to my mentors, colleagues, lab mates, and the wonderful fly community that has supported me & so many others in their journeys #basicscienceFTW.

sharing our cover art proposal, which sadly did not make it @PNASNews: an artistic illustration of genetic innovation, where a musician plays the piano and new melodies—represented by small RNAs and scissors-like nucleases—emerge 🎶🎵. check out our paper:
happy to share the published version of our work on genome defense against selfish genes 😊 @PNASNews . "Escalation of genome defense capacity enables control of an expanding meiotic driver".
