Great job, Paulo! We are so proud :) #HanlonLabAlumRock
Great job, Paulo! We are so proud :) #HanlonLabAlumRock
That's a wrap on #TAGC24 posters for @TheHanlonLab! @MengjiaMLin drew a crowd B-cause of her enthusiasm!
@ImKaylahB is working up a storm at the #TAGC poster session tonight! If you don't catch her in the next 30 minutes, find @MengjiaMLin tomorrow to hear more about the work we do in @TheHanlonLab
First night of #TAGC24 posters was a success! @ryanmgado and @SKalladanthyil gave B-eautiful posters! For more exciting research from @TheHanlonLab, check out my poster tomorrow and @MengjiaMLin on Saturday!
So much to 'B' thankful for in the Hanlon Lab! We hosted another two awesome rotation students (Jasmine and Edward), and everyone came to 'B' together for our annual end-of-year pizza gathering to celebrate another great year in the Hanlon Lab. I'm so proud of the B team!
Daria, our awesome Fall McNair Apprentice, is doing great at dissecting out lots of ovaries for her shadowing project - can't wait to see those B-utiful images from them!
Since we have such a "stellar" crew, we decided to B the Solar System for Halloween! NOTE: planets and distances not to scale. With grad students @ImKaylahB and Shania (@MengjiaMLin in spirit), rotons Jasmine, Edward, and Alex, and undergraduates @ryanmgado, Annette, and Louise.
What could "B" more wonderful than one awesome @UConnMCB Ph.D. rotation students working in the lab? How about TWO! Thanks to Maddy (left) and Alex (right) for checking out the Hanlon Lab this rotation cycle! Also thanks to their B-team mentors, @ImKaylahB and @MengjiaMLin!
Emma, our NSF REU student, did an awesome job sharing her summer research exploring how Wolbachia affects B chromosome transmission. Her results show that Wolbachia infection may suppress drive of the Bs! Thanks for B-ing with us, Emma!
Emma, our NSF REU student, has some B-utiful data from her summer project in the Hanlon Lab! We are so glad you decided to spend your summer to 'B' with us!
To pass her Ph.D. qualifying exam, @ImKaylahB had to bring her "B" game - and she did! Congratulations to @UConnMCB Ph.D. *candidate*, Kaylah! We're all proud of you! Thanks to Dr. Lisa Nigro for snapping this pic :)
We are B-yond thrilled that our work on the drive of #BChromosomes in Drosophila melanogaster is officially published in Current Biology! doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.… Huge props to Dr. Patrick Ferree for writing a fantastic Dispatch to go along with it! doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…
Congrats to @MengjiaMLin for winning one of the poster awards at #UconnFlyClub!!! We're so proud of you! Way to represent @TheHanlonLab!!
Lab members @ImKaylahB @MengjiaMLin @ryanmgado and @SKalladanthyil are excited to be here representing the Hanlon Lab at the coolest club in town! #UConnFlyClub was an amazing success this year 🪰 Thanks to @centromellone and Jianjun Sun for organizing!
Successful day for @TheHanlonLab at #BAMM! (@MengjiaMLin, @ryanmgado, & @SKalladanthyil)
Great job at the final @UConnMCB RIPS of the semester, @MengjiaMLin! (fourth from the right) She presented some B-utiful images of meiosis in her pursuit to study how the B chromosomes move during the female meiotic divisions. We're so proud!
Both posters from stellar undergrads @ryanmgado and @ShellChen01 & Ayushi P. were B-yond awesome! Great job at Spring Frontiers! Thanks to @UConnOUR for hosting the event.
Can't believe #Dros23 is almost over! Come see our posters (733-736S) and learn what B chromosomes and @TheHanlonLab is all about!
I am "B"-yond excited to welcome Ph.D. student Shania Kalladanthyil to the Hanlon Lab! Shania's goal is to use advanced genomic techniques to further resolve the molecular composition of the B chromosomes, providing a glimpse into how genomes evolve. hanlon.lab.uconn.edu/lab-members/#S…
The Hanlon Lab is now 2 years old! Thanks to everyone who is/was a member (@ImKaylahB @MengjiaMLin @ShellChen01 @ryanmgado @alliegardner24 Ayushi and Paulo), visitor (Paul), or roton (Shania, @Sean_Riccard, and OM) in the lab this past year! You guys are un-B-lievable!
