Fly Bayou groups at #Dros25 @GeneticsGSA! Great to see many people in person. From a small, local joint lab meeting, we've grown to >30 labs in 11 states. Amazing fly community!

Weng lab members are presenting one talk and four posters at #DROS25. Come to see our new research from ventral furrow mechanics, to anterior midgut, to polarity protein Baz, to energid compartment. If you don’t know what “energid” is, come to Chase’ talk Friday 9AM Ballroom A/B.

Tenure was never the goal. Doing interesting science and raising future scientists are always the goals. Still, receiving a beautiful cake and sharing it with the lab during our energetic lab meeting, is a sweet feeling😌 Thank you everyone who believed in me.

It’s a great opportunity! I’ve been to DU for a seminar and was thoroughly impressed by the great scientists, interesting science, motivated students, and supportive environment. Don’t miss out!

From MBoC @WengFlyLab demonstrates that not only the presence but the level of adherens junctions is critical for apical constriction, and establishing specific patterns of junction levels promotes proper shape and boundary of epithelial folding. doi.org/10.1091/mbc.E2…

It took a long time to get the award notice: our lab has received the NSF CAREER award! I thank those who provided guidance and more than anything I thank my lab for providing all the data. It may seem that the PI supports the lab but it’s the lab that supports the PI with data.
