The tragic murder of Mr. George Floyd brought to the head long-standing issues racial justice and equity in United States beyond. This prompted many institutions higher education, including professional organizations societies, engage long-overdue conversations about role scientific perpetuating racism. Similar societies organizations, Society for Advancement Biology Education Research (SABER), a leading international organization discipline-based biology education researchers, has long...
Instructors must use data-informed reflection to interrogate course outcomes. However, these data can be hard access, process, and visualize in ways that make patterns of inequities clear. To address this need, we developed an R-Shiny application allows authenticated users student performance.
ABSTRACT A major goal in the study of adult stem cells is to understand how cell fates are specified at proper time and place facilitate tissue homeostasis. Here, we found that an E2 ubiquitin ligase, Bendless (Ben), has multiple roles Drosophila ovarian epithelial follicle (FSC) lineage. First, Ben part JNK signaling pathway, it, as well other pathway genes, essential for differentiation FSC daughter cells. Our data suggest promotes by suppressing activation EGFR effector, ERK. Also, loss...
Academic conferences are integral to the dissemination of novel research findings and discussion pioneering ideas across all postsecondary disciplines. For some participants, these environments spaces develop new collaborations, projects, social bonds; however, for others, can be a place marginalization outright hostility. To assess how diverse individuals experience conference spaces, we interpreted results from climate survey filled out by 198 482 registrants Society Advancement Biology...
Changes in intracellular pH (pHi) play important roles the regulation of many cellular functions, including metabolism, proliferation, and differentiation. Typically, pHi dynamics are determined cultured cells, which amenable to measuring experimentally manipulating pHi. However, recent development new tools methodologies has made it possible study within intact, live tissue. For Drosophila research, one was generation a transgenic line carrying biosensor, mCherry::pHluorin. Here, we...

Abstract Understanding how cell fate decisions are regulated is a central question in stem biology. Recent studies have demonstrated that intracellular pH (pHi) dynamics contribute to this process. Indeed, the pHi of cells within tissue not simply consequence chemical reactions cytoplasm and other cellular activity, but actively maintained at specific setpoint each type. We found previously follicle (FSC) lineage Drosophila ovary increases progressively during differentiation from an average...
