Day 2023. I performed a hat trick in Research awards at this year's Biology Graduate Research day. Pub award. Research communication award. Honorable talk award. Let's go!! I'm excited!

Ellie Weir and team have translocated leatherback turtle nests to the hatchery Pacuare Reserve...getting ready to assign treatments to improve hatching success based on last year's data!!! Cheering from #OceanConservationLab UVic Science @WomeninSciUVic UVic Research Happy 👇

Ireland are untouchable! 🤫 Five years after their last grand slam, Irish Rugby defeat England in thrilling style to become your #SixNations2023 champions ☘️ #IREvENG | #GuinnessSixNations

It's disheartening that some profs think that postdocs shouldn't complain about money because it's a great training ~experience~. 1/n

Really excited about my students participating in the event! #BUS2023 Claudia is presenting her work.

Day June 22nd of My PhD I am traveling to #Worm23. Super excited to be going with Gupta Lab! Come see my poster on Monday, 1177B. This is the first project i started in the lab and I am looking forward to showing my work! #physiology

Successfully reached glasgow and ready to go! #conferenceseason#worm23

Day 2 or 3 conference depending on how you view it. Today I'm presenting my poster this evening ! Come see 1177B #Worm23

The Day of my bioRxiv has arrived! My favorite parts are figure 5 and figure 6 😉

As a molecular biologist, my worst fear come true last night. 6 yo asked “how our body parts are made. Like, how do the arms and fingers know where to go?” She’s interested in developmental biology. Parents, talk to your kids about Wnt signaling before it’s too late.

Day 2060. Of the 12th day of April of 2024. I defended my PhD dissertation. I am now Dr. Taylor

Day 7 post PhD. I've had the fortune of working with SunyBiotech🐛 to get a strain built. I'm excited to see the end result of it, generating future resources for the lab!

It’s just a tiny bottle.. It probably doesn’t smell that bad Tiny Bottle:

It took a while but our PNAS paper on #MANF neurotrophic factor is finally out! More MANF is better for neuronal health and lifespan. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… #autophagy #lysosome Shane Kevin Brendan Taylor McMaster University
