Over 300 skits and this is still my best joke. I may never top this.

A cell videoed through a microscope. The powerhouses of the cell, mitochondria (purple), and DNA in the nucleus (green) are shown. #CellBiology

All the magic of academia is gone by then 😅 #academia #PhD #science #xp OpenAcademics Academic Chatter™

Words I’ve lived by in 2022 and will take with me to 2023 - “Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance” - Brené Brown

We'll combine #NationalBirdDay & #TBT to revisit this lovely mute swan that was donated to us postmortem. We dissected it, did an amazing vascular injection, explored a healed fracture, & Emily (Caggiano) Rieff did a great "Dissecting with Emily" vid about it: youtu.be/do2TcqHl_Tc. 🦢

I join the rest of the paleo world in mourning the passing of the legendary Bob Harmon of the Museum of the Rockies. I met him 35 years ago in the field in Montana & saw him during my MOR visits, as in this one in 2017 where we worked on B-rex & Big Al, two of his many claims to fame.

Being a 4th year graduate student is making the department buy silver sharpies for the sole purpose of being able to write on your gloves

One of my favorite days of the year!!

For the last fucking time, thawing 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes.

Pippin to Frodo when they're back home in the Shire:

Yesterday I gave my first in-person oral presentation of graduate school and it had a LOT of negative data. Thank you to Therapeutics & Pharmacology Graduate Program MD Anderson-UTH Grad for being so supportive of a transparent talk about how projects develop and change drastically during a PhD

I will forever cherish your mentorship not just in science, but in life. Thank you for helping me love science again when I really wanted to hate it forever, and for all our jokes and roasting. I have now lost 2 PhD mentors this year, and I have no more words

Bittersweet first, first-author paper is out today. This review has been a rollercoaster and I wish I could share it with Cullen, but I knew how proud he was that it got accepted, and how proud he would be that I navigated the process without him. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Finally back for the first time since my undergraduate days at #AACR2024. Excited to learn from and network with leaders at the cutting edge of cancer research and present my research

Personally I think it’s super cool to see talks given by researchers whose papers I’ve continually read over the years, today I got that with Steven Rosenberg! #AACR24

You may be cool, but you will never be “Nobel laureate Jim Allison absolutely shredding on a harmonica with his band of amazing scientists” cool. Favorite conference memory in a long time! #AACR24

Great talk by Andrew Aguirre discussing the role of EMT in KRAS resistance in PDAC #AACR24

Had a fantastic time presenting my research at #RadRes2024 Radiation Research Society ! Always exciting to see new FLASH research, make new connections and lab bonding (including a VERY competitive water slide competition). I even ran my first 5k since undergrad and explored Sabino Canyon

Come learn all about the amazing GSBS at our upcoming events!!

35 years ago day SUE the T. rex 🦖 (FMNH PR 2081) was discovered by Sue Hendrickson. Few dinosaur specimens are as impressive, and our team has had the privilege of studying the original fossils & CT scan data many times. As always, thanks go to the Field Museum for their support! 🦖
