The past week at Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) as a TA for #embryo23 has been magical. What an amazing place filled with incredibly enthusiastic, curious, smart people!

Worm meetings are always amazing, and this was no exception! It was great to hear fantastic science and connect with everyone in person again! #worm23

I'm excited to share what has been a really fun project - screening for tardigrade proteins that can improve desiccation tolerance. I expressed tardigrade proteins in bacteria to ask if I can transfer some of their superpowers. 💪 Check out what we found: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Hello Science Twitter (are we still here?)! I am excited to share the product of my PD work up on bioRxiv today! The hook: How are tardigrades able to withstand extremely high levels if ionizing radiation (IR)? A 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger! 💪 CourtneyClarkHachtel, Jon Hibshman and team characterise a novel mechanism of ionizing radiation tolerance in the tardigrade H. exemplaris. Great new preLight by Isabella Cisneros Isabella Cisneros – check it out! 👀 ⬇️ prelights.biologists.com/highlights/tar…

How animals survive desiccation? Jon Hibshman presents his exciting work using the enticing model organism tardigrades! #CSSI #stressresponse

Interested in tardigrades, desiccation tolerance, or unique screening strategies? Come to my talk at #cellbio2023!! Saturday 12/2 at 11:12am in room 204B.

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be joining SMU Biology this upcoming fall to start my lab! I look forward to building a team that is motivated to answer fundamental questions about how cells and organisms can survive extreme stress!

So happy to share the final version of this manuscript with you all! Live today in Current Biology. Free access here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1ivyP3QW8S6E…

One week into life as a professor. It is as busy as expected - and then some - but I think I can get used to these views every day!

Happy Friday! In honor of the arrival of tardigrades to the new lab this week, enjoy watching a tardigrade eat a worm.

🧊❄️Join us for the virtual workshop on Cryopreservation and Other Preservation Approaches for Animal Models. This workshop will be held as a series of sessions from Sept. 6, 2024, through May 2025. @NIGMS, @NICHD_NIH. Register now for the workshop at: scgcorp.com/Cryopreservati…

A new procedure for live-cell imaging of tardigrades, recently published in STAR protocols, came out of the 2023 Embryology course at the MBL. mbl.edu/news/new-way-s…

Are you or anyone you know looking for a research assistant position? I'm hiring! Come study survival of extremes in C. elegans and tardigrades in my new lab! Reach out if you have any questions. Share and apply by Oct 15. smu.taleo.net/careersection/…

I am excited to share that the project that taught me how to do science is now published at Journal of Cell Biology Journal of Cell Biology.
