An Open House event increased awareness and interest in post-bac STEM programs among underrepresented minorities through campus visits and interactions with faculty and students.

The paper uses volume electron microscopy techniques to study ultrastructural changes in germline intercellular bridges during Drosophila oogenesis, revealing new structural features and developmental patterns.

This study shows that the size of germline intercellular bridges in fruit fly egg chambers scales based on lineage, with earlier-born bridges growing more slowly.

The paper shows that the Arp2/3 complex and Diaphanous (Dia) work together to regulate the size and expansion of germline ring canals during oogenesis in fruit flies.
