I went back to community college at 26 knowing I wanted to pursue a PhD because I refused to accept that I was too old to pursue my dreams. I started my MS at 30 and my PhD at 32. Je ne regrette rien.
Last weekend I had the privilege of representing my country at the UCI Gravel World Championships. A proper race deserves a proper report. Tried to do just that. Long winded and still somehow not even close to capturing all of the feels following this incredible experience.…

Making one final push to close the PMC donation gap before leaving for gravel worlds. See my bio for details 🫶❣️🫶
💯 this ❣️ I recently gave a department seminar and a few weeks later a prof in the dept complimented me on it. It was a brief exchange that lit up my tired little heart & motivated me to keep my head up in spite of everything else going on. A small act of kindness >>>>
Of all the different metrics of scientific success, a kind word from a colleague you respect often means the most.
Great opportunity here to have a great mentor and work on a very 🔥 emerging topic with some truly awesome tools.

Looking for mito genome help: can anyone provide a link to the full sequence for the CBA/J mitochondrial genome? I can find the one for C57's but I do need it to be mouse strain specific and I'm struggling to find an entry for CBA/J mice.
@MBIsg @ChaoyuF Mechanical forces shape cell fate, proliferation, and migration. But how do adhesion GPCRs (aGPCRs) turn physical cues into biochemical signals?
A truly beautiful preprint and scientific story. They set a high bar. Absolutely worth a download to at least checkout the incredible mastery of microscopy.
Our new preprint is up! This is the main postdoc work of Theresa Wiesner, focusing on exocytosis along the axon shaft and its regulation by the submembrane actin-spectrin scaffold: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Read the thread below for a summary of our findings 🧵1/11
If you ever need a source of hope for mentorship in science and academia, give @neubadah a follow. Your generosity of spirit continues to inspire me, friend 🥹.
I'm experimenting with something new... I visited Damascus for the first time in 17 years last month. It was beautiful in many ways, depressing in some, and I'm more hopeful than ever. I gave some talks during my visit and of the most inspiring experiences I found were my…
Happy #MicroscopyMonday! The Nikon Small World Exhibit showcases life's beauty and complexity as seen through the light microscope. 4th place went to Dr. Amy Engevik, who photographed a section of the small intestine of a mouse. Can you guess the magnification of the lens?
New cover photo. Lookup table triptych showing the inner hair cells that transduce sound information & the afferents that transmit that information from the cochlea to the brain. Micrographs from my immuno pilots greatest hits. 🔬 🧬 💗
