Huge congrats to Shuo Xiao for winning the #SSR new investigator award! Rutgers University–New Brunswick

Congratulations to Ahmed Balboula and everyone else involved.

I have always wondered what those predatory conferences that email me are like. I guess I don't have to wonder anymore. nature.com/articles/d4158…

This is pretty cool.

It is such an honor to receive the Ingbar Award for Distinguished Service to Endocrine Society . This has been my scientific home for over 20 years. It has been a privilege to work with amazing member leaders and society staff.

abstracts are due tomorrow FOR UMSRS! vetmed.illinois.edu/umsrs-2024/abo… WinRS SSR Trainees

We investigated the impact of heat shock during the critical period of gene expression activation (days 2.5-3) on embryo development and quality. Additionally, we addressed whether administration of CSF2 on day 5 could mitigate the detrimental effects of heat shock.

Lab bowling night!

Congrats to Catalina on giving her first podium presentation at UMSRS today! She presented our preliminary work on the endometrium in collaboration with Matthew Dean - an exciting direction in which we are just getting started!

Happy to share our latest publication in Nature Communications led by active graduate students, Fei Sun and Nourhan Ali! We found that increased DNA damage in full-grown oocytes correlates with diminished autophagy activation. nature.com/articles/s4146…

The good thing about submitting 2 grants at the same time is that you get bad news twice as fast. 😀

proud PI moment. the 1st PhD student to graduate from my lab just got her idea job in industry!!
