We’re celebrating Andrea in lab today with some frog-themed cookies- UW Biochemistry department voted in favor of tenure! 🐸🎉 #xenopus #regenGreat

My first postdoc work from the Niswander lab is online! Here I present a review synthesizing what we know about lesser studied micronutrients in neural tube defects. #GeneEnvironment onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/dv…

Latest publication from Wills Lab in Developmental Biology is officially out! This is part of a series of cool experiments driven by an interest in HIF1a from my rotation with Dana 🏳️‍🌈🔬, but this is the only #regeneGREAT one (so far). authors.elsevier.com/c/1eWJ-2mzTZVW8

Excited to welcome everyone to a trainee-focused program for #NWDB2022, happening online March 16-18th. Abstract deadline March 1. Trainee SDB members attend free! Check out nwdbmeeting.org/for details and registration.

We’re hiring! 🐸 The Wills Lab is looking for a lab manager. Apply by 5 pm on 2/28 at uwhires.admin.washington.edu/eng/candidates…

Registration is open for the 55th NWDB regional meeting, held virtually March 16-18th, 2022. All short talks by trainee groups coached by NWDB PIs. Low or no registration fees. #NWDB2022 sdbonline.org/meeting_regist…

Shoutout to Kaycie Opiyo, Daniel Ong, and Ashi Jain for their amazing poster presentations at the UW Undergraduate Research Symposium!

Look who also visited to pose with their artwork. Anneke Kakebeen who made the #xenopus tropicalis staging series poster for DevelopmentalDynamic Stop by and pick up a copy if you are at #SDB2022

So excited to wrap up this body of work (as wrapped up as anything in research can be 😅, lots of fun projects in the works for rotation students starting in Seattle MCB Program and UW Biochemistry in the fall)! If you'd like the zoom link, you can DM or join us in person!

It's going to be #RegeneGREAT
