End of semester party celebrating three amazing graduates, Vishakha Vishwamarka Vishakha Vishwakarma, Charlotte Adams, and Luke Woodward Luke Woodward!

Super excited that our paper on 'Coordination of cell cycle and morphogenesis during organ formation' got accepted for publication in eLife - the journal! Kudos to grad student Jeffrey Matthew Jeffrey for his outstanding work- super proud! LSU Department of Biological Sciences LSU College of Science LSU LSU Research

Online PDF version of our new paper, "Coordination of cell cycle and morphogenesis during organ formation", is out eLife - the journal! Congrats to the first author Jeffrey Matthew Jeffrey and all the other authors Vishakha Vishwakarma Thao Le & undergrad Ryan! elifesciences.org/articles/95830

Last day for Vishakha Vishwakarma. She was brave enough to join my brand new lab as the 1st student 6 yrs ago and has been a dream student for a PI. She is starting a new adventure as postdoc in the Weinstein lab at NIH to study zebrafish/cavefish development. Wish her all the best!

I am speaking at SDB 83rd Annual Meeting. Please check out my talk if you're attending the event! #2024SDB

Hi everyone! I’m excited to share that I’ll be applying to PhD programs this fall. I will be applying to developmental biology programs, and I would love your help in getting the word out. Check out the details below and please reach out if you or someone you know is hiring!

New work from the #WeinsteinLab is on biorxiv! With MAJOR help from @ZebrafishMK and Aurora Kraus : The axillary lymphoid organ - an external, experimentally accessible immune organ in the zebrafish. Tweetorial below. #Zebrafish biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thanks to the amazing expertise of Wes Warren and colleagues, generous funding from Stowers Institute and NIH we have now genomes from multiple cavefish and surface fish populations that even surpass the quality of the zebrafish genome. 🍾👏 academic.oup.com/g3journal/adva…

What if you could deliver molecular tools directly into oocytes without microinjection? In our new paper, online today Development (doi.org/10.1242/dev.20…), we introduce VitelloTag, a new cargo delivery tool to enable injection-free genome editing. 👇Read on for a short 🧵

We created a comic book based on our research on the role of GJ channels and bioelectricity in neuromuscular development! This was an amazing collaboration with undergraduate art student Bentley Smallwood.🐟🔬⚡️ Read the whole version here: opentext.uoregon.edu/science-comics… #Zebrafish

Excited to share our latest paper from Dr. Jasmin Camacho 🦇🔬☠️🧠☀️ and Andrea Bernal Stowers Institute. It’s the labs first dive🐟 into mammalian biology, and the findings are sweet🌸🍯. We found that nectar🦇 tolerate the highest ever recorded blood sugar. Check it out! nature.com/articles/s4155…

Don't miss put this overview from Mark Peifer about the revolutionary Heidelberg genetic screening that changed Developmental biology field! International Society of Developmental Biology SEBD SPBD SFBD-BioDev Society for Developmental Biology

Thrilled to share our latest work from my postdoc with Adam Martin in Developmental Cell ! We uncovered a mechanism linking DV axial patterning with AP axis extension through patterned cell-cell adhesion. Intrigued? Dive into the details here!

Pleased to share the publication of our paper showing the role of EGFR in coordinating morphogenetic movements in Developmental Cell. Congratulations MIT Biology postdoc, nat clarke for all your hard work! Article: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39461341/
