Thrilled to be honored by @genetics-gsa.bsky.social with the Elizabeth W. Jones Award for Excellence in Education — I feel the same sentiment now as I do whenever I work with a class: ‘So excited, and so much work to do!’

My most recent article published with the Lechler Lab. We offer insights into the role of the mesenchyme during intestinal villi development. "Mesenchymal cell contractility regulates villus morphogenesis and intestinal architecture": www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Love is in the air! ❤️🔬 #FluorescenceFriday meets #ValentinesDay throw back back to the time a neuronal nucleus and chromatin sent me a microscopic love note. Who says science isn’t romantic? 💕✨ #sciart #scicomm

The word GET is totally off base for NIH funding. Institutions don’t get NIH dollars—they earn them. Grants are fierce competitions where only the best ideas push science forward. My last two grants ranked in the top 1% & 2%, outcompeting 98%. Like a VC pitch—except we’re curing diseases.

Massive respect for my institution using its platform to lay bare the real impact of NIH indirect cuts. This isn’t just numbers—it’s research, jobs, and innovation on the line. #FundScience #NIHcuts

Hey Halo-tag users—wish you could bring something along for the ride with a JF dye? Pratik Kumar & Luke Lavis dropped multifunctional fluorescent ligands letting us pull down & manipulate organelles. Proud of our cameo showing a killer application: Brd4 hops from euchromatin to nucleoli in 60 min!

Very cool chemistry with multifunctional fluorescent ligands and cutting-edge microscopy y'all! Great to see the referenced cameo from @so-lets-kilab70.bsky.social collaborating with @rhodamine110.bsky.social et al rocking one of the @the.3i.social Lattice LightSheets @stjuderesearch.bsky.social.

Excited to highlight Chris’ seminar in our department! 3 months in a new project, and he’s already uncovering cool insights into a sterol synthesis switch during neuronal differentiation—shedding light on neuronal migration 🧠✨ #Neurobiology #scicomm #NeuronalMigration #InnovationInScience

Why is human brain development, and particularly neuron morphogenesis, so slow and how is this linked to evolution? doi.org/10.1101/2024.12.28.630576 We developed mouse brain organoid methods capturing differences to human and used these to address this. doi.org/10.1101/2024.12.21.629881 🧵 (1/n)

Memphis snow: schools close, bread disappears from the supermarket, and everyone pauses to admire the rare magic. It’s chaotic, but hey, nothing beats freshly fallen snow. #MemphisSnow #WinterMagic #SnowDay #FridayVibes #FridayMorning
