Congratulations! A well deserved recognition

Very grateful to be able to present my work on SMT of of RNAPII in live embryos at Johns Hopkins University and NIH this weekend. It was great fun getting to meet the wonderful scientists and see the inspiring live-imaging work being done at both institutions!

Thanks for highlighting our work Deevitha Balasubramanian !

Today we said farewell to our summer student Carmine Picone with some robot served ice cream. He learned molecular bio fundamentals & generated a library of fluorescent protein fusions under the excellent mentorship of Matthew Fischer. Great to see so much growth in 6 weeks!

Congratulations to Alexandria O. Adigun and Sena Sarıkaya for winning poster awards at the UPenn DSRB retreat today! It is a privilege to have such excellent students!

Congratulations to S Fallacaro Samantha Fallacaro in the lab for receiving an honorable mention in the Nikon Small World In Motion competition for their lovely compilation video of zooming into a fruit fly embryo: nikonsmallworld.com/galleries/2024…

Thanks to all in the community who gave constructive feedback. We have updated our pre-print including new imaging in additional mutants & genomics analysis. Open science and community peer review FTW in helping us strengthen our findings: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We had some fun with photo-physics this Halloween. See if you can figure out some of our (very) interpretative demonstrations of (FRET, photoconversion, &, localization microscopy). Happy Halloween!🤓🎃

Big congratulations to our MD/PHD student Alexandria O. Adigun on receiving a F31 award from NIGMS to "Illuminate the Molecular Mechanisms of Replication and Transcription Coordination" during zygotic genome activation and support her training.
