This is what a metamorphosing starfish larva looks like. Brachiolaria (1.5 mm in length) from Skagerrak, North Sea.

It has been almost a year since I joined Stowers Institute as a pre-doc student and now after coursework and rotations I will be finally joining my PhD thesis lab. I am super excited to share with everyone that I will be joining Dr. Tatjana Sauka-Spengler ’s lab.

Opportunity for MSc Graduates! We are looking for a JRF to work on SERB-funded project on Artemisinin Resistance. Apply by June 30th, 2024 More info: iiserpune.ac.in/opportunities/…

A juvenile starfish is born (Asterias rubens). A couple of posts ago I was showing their planktonic larvae. Go and have a look, they are true marvels. Helgoland, North Sea. #starfish #ocean #microscopy #biology #marinebiology #marinecreatures #marineanimals

Please join us in welcoming the 10 brilliant new predocs of the 2024 class! We're eager to see the amazing contributions you'll bring to our community. #GradSchool #PhD #Biology

One of the greatest joys as a PI is to guide brilliant minds through their PhD journey. Many congratulations Bhagyashree Deshmukh for successfully defending your thesis! 🎉 The 3rd PhD from our lab & now Seattle Children's. Thanks for everything & best wishes for the future! IISER Pune

#WhyStowers? For Investigator Tatjana Sauka-Spengler it means being able to ask questions that she has never been able to. We are currently accepting applications for Assistant Investigator positions. Learn more + apply: bit.ly/4ft6ceY #WereHiring #NewPIs #STEMJobs

Super cool piece of work Amruta! Heartiest Congratulations to you and the team!🥳

(1/7) I am excited to share that my paper is out Cell Reports ! I am thankful to Danielson Baia Amaral , BazziniLab , Stowers Grad School and the proteomics core Stowers Institute for all the support.

What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too? And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates. A teaser: the income distribution of the laureates' fathers.1/N

1/🚀 Excited to share RegVelo, our new computational model combining RNA velocity with gene regulatory network (GRN) dynamics to model cellular changes and predict in silico perturbations. Here's how it works and why it matters! 🧵👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Truly honoured to be selected as an EMBO Global Investigator. Grateful for this recognition and the opportunity to engage with an inspiring community. A big thank you to my current and former lab members, collaborators, funders, and well-wishers. Here is to the journey ahead!!

Happy to see this out in The FEBS Journal! 🎉 We show how daily rhythms affect smell sensitivity in day- and night-active mosquitoes. Congratulations Tanwee Das De on leading this project! Here's to many more!👏🚀 febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/IVI7HNA7…
