Time for turkey! 🦃 We celebrated #Thanksgiving today with our annual feast. A wonderful time of good food, great company, and gratitude.

Meet Luciana Castellano, a predoc studying RNA and viruses in the BazziniLab! "The Graduate School's staff genuinely care about us, and the resources here make us feel like there's nothing we can't achieve." #PhD #GradSchool Read more + apply here: bit.ly/4fAU6jC

Come see us for day 2 of #CellBio2024 and talk all things science and Stowers! Loved getting to meet with potential postdocs, predocs, and other researchers & scientists looking to learn more about the Institute! Plus we have some cool giveaways!🧬🔬 Booth #423

That’s a wrap on #CellBio2024! We loved meeting so many of you and sharing what makes our #science and Institute so special. Congrats to our members and all attendees who presented and participated in poster sessions! Already looking forward to next year! 🧬👏🏽🔬

Today we're thrilled to announce our 2024 #HannaGrayFellows! Please join us in welcoming and celebrating these outstanding early career scientists! This cohort includes scientists working in research areas ranging from treatment-resistant cancers to sleep dysregulation to how

Big congrats! And a great showcasing of the amazing science happening at Stowers Institute!

Looking back on 2024, we’re inspired by the progress made possible by our members. Their commitment to #research & discovery has helped push the boundaries of #science for the betterment of humanity. Here’s to another year of innovation & impact! 🧬🔬 youtube.com/watch?v=9JG9Vj…

The Institute's campus has been transformed into a snow-covered wonderland! ❄️🦅 Here’s a bird’s-eye view of the winter beauty. Stay warm @kansascity!

Registration NOW OPEN! 🎉 #BIGIDEAS2025 is back at the Institute on March 5. Come learn about the hidden intelligence of plants from Paco Calvo (MINT Lab) + special guest Dr. Kate Biberdorf. Could plant behavior change how we approach science? Register now: bit.ly/3ZkDWoF

The Institute mourns the loss of R. Scott Hawley, PhD. A brilliant scientist, cherished colleague, & true mentor. Scott's contributions to our understanding of genetics & passion for training the next generation of scientists will forever be remembered. bit.ly/3WPqqYG

Ever wondered how your #genes know when to turn on or off? 🧬🔌 In our latest #BioBasics episode, Julianna Olivia Haug, a researcher in the Tatjana Sauka-Spengler Lab, explains gene regulatory networks — the circuits that control gene activity. Learn more: bit.ly/4jYJmxR

BIG thanks to everyone who joined us for #BIGIDEAS2025 last night with Paco Calvo (MINT Lab) & Kate the Chemist! We appreciate your enthusiasm for #science & the thoughtful discussions sparked throughout the evening. Looking forward to the next one! bit.ly/3ZkDWoF

It's #BrainAwarenessWeek2025! Understanding the healthy #brain can help us understand how memories are formed and what goes wrong in neurodegenerative diseases like #Alzheimers. 🧠 Dana Foundation🧠 #BrainWeek Check out these five facts about the brain: stowers.org/news/five-fact…

Radiolab, an NPR #podcast, just dropped a great episode with a former A. Sánchez Alvarado Lab postdoc, now Assistant Professor at WVU Mountaineers, discussing #regeneration in animals, research that was initiated at the Institute! Don’t miss this conversation! 🎧 bit.ly/4iH4hob

🤩Say hi to Alejandro Sánchez Alvarado A. Sánchez Alvarado, a pioneer in the field of regenerative biology whose research has uncovered how some organisms can fully regenerate body parts (or entire bodies🤯)--his fundamental research has enormous implications for regenerative medicine. 1/

🎉 Exciting news! Jorge Moreno 🪼, postdoc in the A. Sánchez Alvarado Lab, has been named a Helen Hay Whitney Fellow, which will support his #research on the "immortal jellyfish" & its potential to reveal secrets about #aging & #regeneration. (1/2)🧵 Learn more: bit.ly/4cePzSO

New #research from the Piotrowski Lab published in Nature Communications has identified how two distinct genes guide the #regeneration of sensory cells in #zebrafish – which may inspire new strategies for hearing loss treatment & regenerative medicine. (1/2) More: bit.ly/4lxUqTg

New from The Scientist: Piotrowski Lab reveals how #zebrafish hair cells regenerate using cell type-specific gene regulation, which may offer new clues in the search for #hearingloss treatments. 📰 Read here: bit.ly/3IsnKMd

Our Summer Scholars have spent the past 8 weeks immersed in hands-on #research, and today, they got to share their discoveries with the Stowers community! #GradSchool #biology Learn more about the program: bit.ly/3SDVdGo
