You have amazed me many times before, but this one is right near the top. Honored to have you be my mentor and amazed at all that you do to inspire me and others!!!
I’m in Ushuaia, Argentina 🇦🇷, Tierra del Fuego. On Tuesday I board a ship to Antarctica for a multistage ultramarathon called The Last Desert @racingtheplanet @SocDevBio @MDAndersonNews
Congratulations so well deserved!
A couple of months ago, @PLwigale and I celebrated our promotions with the Biosciences department @RiceNatSci. Two promotions for #devbio @RiceUniversity!
The #devbio community is growing at Rice, and we now have a monthly SuperGroup meeting. Good times!
Super cool! Congratulations!!!
Preprint just dropped!🎙️We discover molecular mechanisms of the excruciatingly painful sting of the Scarlet Velvet Ant (Dasymutilla occidentalis). Title: "Multiple mechanisms of action of an extremely painful venom." 🧵 1/N biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
I spy @thedrjam !!!
Excited to host these amazing scientists @ucdavis for our Emerging Ideas in #DevBio workshop! Huge thanks to @NSF for the funding and my co-organizer @bradylabs. Looking forward to hearing everyone’s great ideas! Safe travels to our last two attendees.🤩

I am happy to send the instructions to run this workshop. All you need are paper & envelopes, scissors, Sharpies. [email protected] @GeneticsGSA @SocDevBio @SSRepro
We ran our Transgenic Mouse 🐭 hands-on workshop w/1st yr grad students in @MDA_UTHGrad Core Course. They generated founders/lines for gene construct they created to test for expression/phenotype. Hectic, interactive, &🤞🏼learning. @GeneticsGSA @SocDevBio
