A little Latin jazz to end the week! 🎶🎺 We welcomed the @kclatinjazz to the Institute on Friday for another lively performance in our Experiments in Sound concert series!

At the Stowers Graduate School, students have the freedom to explore ambitious scientific questions and build a foundation for what comes next. Hear how that experience helped shape alum Augusto Ortega Granillo’s scientific journey. 👇

This #MicroscopyMonday shows the early formation of a small colony of corals from the Hawaiian Montipora capitata coral. #Coral polyps have autofluorescence by the expression of the Green Fluorescent Protein. 🪸 (@Gibson_Lab)

This #WorldAlzheimersDay, our stunning #MicroscopyMonday is an adult fly #brain, labeled in orange is the mushroom body, the memory center in flies, and the neurons on the sides are part of the medulla of the eye, essential for color vision. 🧠 (Si Lab)

Happy first day of fall! 🍂 It won’t be long until the Institute is surrounded by these colors again.
