Bob Goldstein makes gig posters for scientists invited to give seminars at UNC... I thought it was high time that someone made a gig poster for Bob! So I invited him to Dev Bio @ Stanford's "Frontiers in Biology" and made this block print for his talk about Tardigrades:
Really excited to present the results of a great collaboration with the lab of Ophir Klein! 😃 A truly interdisciplinary effort, led by Neha and Pengfei, that reveals how tissue pressure sets the main tooth signaling center. Out today in Nature Cell Biology ➡️ nature.com/articles/s4155…
Scientific Achievement Unlocked! My science has been covered in The New York Times by Carl Zimmer! He did a wonderful job highlighting these two recent papers that independently contribute to our understanding of the extreme radiation tolerance of tardigrades. nytimes.com/2024/04/12/sci…
Wonderful gift from Mehershad Wadia to everyone in the lab. Life is a roller coaster 🎢🔬🤓 ❤️ Thank you Mehershad! 🙏
We are thrilled to share our first manuscript! A proteoglycan Versican helps the swollen hyaluronate in ECM accumulate & swell more for inner ear canal morphogenesis. The transcription factor Lmx1b promotes the synthesis of this sugary matrix! Yusuke Mori & Sierra's hard work 🙏
Our *1000th* microscope! Thanks U.S. National Science Foundation for support, Kenji Yoshino for the original design, and @Sawyer4Chris for sharing stories about students, learning, and NCTIES. If you're a teacher who built one, you're one in a thousand! :) The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill UNC College of Arts and Sciences #nced unc.edu/posts/2024/09/…
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.
