Potential #ZebrafishCareers 🥖 (PhD/Postdoc) #danionella

Please check out our new paper- a team effort- spearheaded with Antentor Othrell Hinton, Jr PhD (A.J. Hinton), called “The graduate school guide: How to prepare for the qualifying exam and assemble a thesis/graduate committee.” doi.org/10.1002/jcp.31… 1/

Latest news: will be moving back to WI at end of this year after 30+ years away from home. Transitioning our program to Morgridge Institute and UW-Madison CRB. Excited for our lab members to visit & plan things out. Madison has phenomenal regeneration and zebrafish communities &...

Very proud of Rodrigo Ibarra Garcia Padilla, for following data, one experiment at a time, and testing hypotheses. He discovered overexpression of oncogene #MYCN in nascent sympathoadrenal cells led to transient, abnormal #neuralcrest gene signatures. Check out the movies, we 'caught it on camera'.

By undercutting U.S. National Science Foundation's work, we are gambling our nation’s future as a global leader in science & innovation. We must pay more than lip service to ensure U.S. scientific leadership in the future & put real dollars forward to support NSF's critical programs. aau.edu/newsroom/press…

Senior Postdocs toggling lab work

I got to participate in this really cool Q/A session with WIRED about all things marine Biology! youtube.com/watch?v=2YquYk…

Had a really great time at the ENS_Development meeting in Philly last week!

Nice catching up with colleagues in the field, meeting many new people, and seeing some really cutting-edge #ENS research happening across disciplines.

7.3% reduction to funding for neurological diseases and a 6.6% reduction for mental health research. This is absolutely bonkers. The House Republicans is literally taking the promise of future life-saving treatments away from sick Americans. aaas.org/news/fy-2024-r…

Our third highlight is on Joaquín Navajas Acedo (MadScientist), who is a Postdoc in the Alex Schier Biozentrum, University of Basel studying the development of the somatosensory system of #zebrafish (check out the #preprint on his pinned tweet!). In a past life, he did his PhD w/ @labpiotrowski…

Dynamics of morphogen source formation in a growing tissue | bioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thrilled to have this out. New preprint from the lab studying how Wnt signaling regulates both germ layer differentiation and anterior-posterior patterning. Great working by grad student (and now postdoc) 🧫🔬Miguel Angel Ortiz 🤓🥼

It is with a heavy heart that we announce our whooping crane chick, released to the wild in November 2023, was found deceased with a fatal gunshot wound on January 9 near Mamou, Louisiana.

Check out a mini-Review I composed on the genetics of #zebrafish #ENS development.

Believe it or not, 65 genes have been discovered as essential for ENS development in zebrafish, greatly expanding our understanding of vertebrate ENS development! Find out which genes below.

Powerful and inspiring words from Needhi Bhalla 💅🏽 on not seeing ourselves reflected as we move through the academic hierarchy, and, importantly, on promoting equity in academia #TAGC24

Today, March 3rd is World Birth Defects Day! The Clearninghouse is one of the founding partners and continues to foster partnerships for birth defects research and surveillance. Let's spread the word!
