Twitter I’m back!! Now as a postdoc at Rice Rosa Uribe, PhD!! 🥳

PIs when shown fresh data

It's out! New paper describing the ribs and vertebrae of Tiktaalik that shows axial regionalization and sacral ribs, which would have provided linkage between its vertebral column and its pelvis Neil Shubin

Have you considered submitting your #stemcell work to our journal? We publish many topics related to #differentiation , including stem cell biology and differentiation into cell types. Here, we highlight various #stemcell papers published in our journal over the past year: 1/6

This is the fault of study sections. The first part of the NIH mission statement is clear: to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems. There is a second part about health, but high quality seeking should be enough!

Another day, another award for a #zebrafish legend 😏

Rosa Uribe, PhD Rice University I am indeed a Rice alum who thinks it is the best place possible to be an undergrad in science and engineering. Great support for sci/eng students. Far more access for an undergrad to do high-level research than at other places. And the college system is the best! #Hanszenite

Very proud of the four graduating Seniors at Rice University who have accomplished years of research in our lab, and many other amazing things! Now off into the World, they go!

Good coverage of our new dinosaur neuron count study, including comments by Thomas R. Holtz, Jr. 🦖💕 (he/him) , Suzana Herculano-Houzel and Luis Chiappe

.... again, do things we've more traditionally considered restricted to animals like mammals: e.g., tool use. Yes I have read Jonathan Balcombe's What A Fish Knows :)

Oh look. NIDA discontinues MERIT R37 for established investigators and launches it for ESIs. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/n…

We have at long last published our very first lab's paper!

Starting up this adventure of building a lab in late 2019 has been the absolute hardest thing I've done. But I'm pretty proud of my team and how far we've come and what we worked to overcome.
