one of life’s simple joys is creating a powerpoint, checking your single-cell data for a slide, and then being sidetracked for 4 hours analyzing the data before remembering it is 11pm and you have to give this presentation in 12 hours

My FIRST research paper ever is out!! Check out the great work Smeetonlab and I have been up to with the Crump Lab in a new model of joint cartilage regeneration!

while you went to department happy hour, I studied the blade

How can Columbia Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons/Columbia University still justify this man holding a position??

Truly incredible how fast I can go between “competent bioinformatician” and “takes 30 minutes to update a single R package”

Our final speakers rounding out Scientific Session I, featuring talks from: Dr. Katie Sikes from the Frisbie Lab at Colorado State Troy Anderson from the Smeeton Lab Sarah Caughey from the Rodeo Lab at HSS Dr. Christelle Darrieutort-Laffite from the Soslowsky Lab

Thrilled to have given my first conference talk today! Thank you so much to ORS Tendon Section and Orthopaedic Research Society for the opportunity- and to Smeetonlab for the continuing outstanding mentorship!

Help us reach statistical significance. If you use ZFIN please participate in our user survey oregon.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eg… Last day June 30th.

This felt like a personal update too important not to share. Incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported us in making it to this point! (📸: Shahadat Rahman)

So proud to be working on innovative science as a part of this fantastic team!

📢 Smeeton lab's first pre-print is now live on biorxiv! Troy Anderson and @mulia_jo co-led our study of ligament regeneration in #Zebrafish. We made new 🐟 lines to label and trace ligament lineage. Also new insights into immune-ECM crosstalk...🗝️ to regeneration. Columbia Stem Cell Initiative (CSCI)

It turns out that going to a seminar about how stress irreversibly eliminates some stem cells is a terrible idea when you’re working on paper revisions 😐

Had a wonderful time getting to introduce our latest research and meeting many peers doing outstanding work in regeneration! Very grateful for the organizers and everyone who fostered such a welcoming (and re-invigorating!) environment.

Incredibly honored to have been selected for these awards by ISSCR! Had many wonderful conversations during yesterday’s poster session about our work so far towards scar-free ligament regeneration. #ISSCR2023

Columbia University's Columbia Stem Cell Initiative (CSCI) contingent at #ISSCR2023

A cross-country move, setting up a new lab during a pandemic, and a couple years later – thrilled to announce our new publication looking into cell fate dynamics and immune regulation in zebrafish ligament regeneration! Read it here: doi.org/10.1038/s41536…

Could not possibly be prouder of our very own Eric Mao as he heads off to an incredible career in medicine. He has been instrumental in the lab we hope that someday we can bring him back to research!
