8. In summary, we show aT-catenin is expressed in the Schwann cell component of peripheral nerves, better rationalizing CTNNA3’s linkages to #asthma and maybe other diseases, e.g., #autism #multiplesclerosis.

Happy New Year! 🎆 Let's start with a #MidweekMovie showing low- and high-magnification Z-stacks of sciatic nerve sections from a wt & new Ctnna3-knock-out fluorescence reporter mouse line. 📖 paper from Anthea Weng and team Gottardi Lab Biology Open: doi.org/10.1242/bio.05…

The initial count is in...WE WON OUR UNION!!! 93.5% yes. 1644 yes votes to 114 no votes.

so proud of everyone who worked RELENTLESSLY and really kicked ass especially in the last week ♥️ so proud of us!!! WE DID IT!

Hi science friends! Please consider donating to this gofundme dedicated to Peter Salvino. He was brilliant and kind and wanted to help the world with his research. gofund.me/9b4a7f03

An alleged sexual misconduct case at WashU's medical school stole her love of academic science. It's now fueling calls for change in academia. My latest STAT investigation digs into what happened: statnews.com/2023/01/24/all…

☝️Today's story draws on emails, texts & interviews with everyone from students to past & current WashU faculty — including Jonathan Kipnis’s first public comments on the case. Thanks to all who spoke with me, including those who did so anonymously.

“This is about an institution that functions kind of like it’s the wild west...There’s no true accountability. HR is practically meaningless. They exist to cover things up and to protect faculty that are bringing in money.”

this is such an important read for everyone in academia about the horrific ways science trainees are getting treated and the unspoken abuse culture that goes on at big-name institutions

In this Research Article, Anthea Weng, Erik Rabin and colleagues Gottardi Lab show that alpha-T-catenin is expressed in peripheral nerves as a constituent of Schwann cell adherens junctions: journals.biologists.com/bio/article/11…

Hoping the next step occurs outside of this flyer with an external investigation of Test Account climate and culture NOT conducted by WashU itself. Let’s be unbiased. #MeToo

Good morning! We’re retiring the “Chicago is the most violent city” narrative. Spread the word! We’re not even in the top 15, as reported by Forbes. Violence is an American reality. Stop making Chicago the face of it. Cc: the business community. forbes.com/sites/laurabeg…

so proud of you @carlapatriciarf 🎉

a fun🫁z-stack for #FluorescenceFriday to celebrate the 3rd year anniversary of me joining Gottardi Lab - in 2020 as a tech and now in 2023 as a PhD student!

happy #FluorescenceFriday from the title slide of my short talk 🫁 so excited to present a small talk and share more about my ongoing work at this week’s lung GRS and Gordon Research Conferences

If you're running a lab in academia, then you have a leadership job and a leadership development job. It's part of your job to be a good leader now to the people in your group as well as to help them grow as leaders so they will be prepared for their future careers.
