Have you heard? Our Emerging Scholars program is back again this year, on April 25-26! Know any stellar postdocs who should apply? bu.edu/biology/emergi…

Salaries for PhD students in the biological sciences fall well below the basic cost of living at almost every institution and department in the US, according to crowdsourced data go.nature.com/3GcrZ9e

Happening tomorrow! Don't miss out 🍦

Happening now! Come grab a sweet treat 😋

Congratulations to Dr. Nahomie Rodriguez-Sastre, who had a successful PhD defense yesterday, and an even more successful party afterwards!

Well, I deleted my own tweet by accident, so here we go again.... Excited to share our newest preprint from Dr. Chris Thomas Voltage-gated sodium channel activity mediates sea urchin larval skeletal patterning through spatial regulation of Wnt5 expression biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Who doesn't love rainbow skeletons? ❤️🧡💛💚💙 So excited to finally be able to share the preprint from this beautiful project (and my first, first-author manuscript!) 🎉

Polychrome labeling reveals skeletal triradiate and elongation dynamic... sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Proud of Abbie's beautiful work, and really happy that it's out in print

Very proud of this stellar work from Chris!

ICAT: a novel algorithm to robustly identify cell states following perturbations in single-cell transcriptomes academic.oup.com/bioinformatics… Happy to see Dakota's beautiful work finally out!

Still super proud of this work and these images 🥰 Thanks Developmental Biology for the shout-out!

Super-proud of brand-new DOCTOR Abigail Descoteaux! Abbie's gorgeous polychrome skeletons and Alizarin studies made a beautiful thesis talk, and Abbie's defense was a resounding success!!

Life update- I successfully defended my PhD thesis on Wednesday. So grateful for my advisor Cynthia Bradham, my committee, and everyone else who helped me along this journey. Can't wait to see what comes next!

If you'd like to read more about rainbow skeletons, check out our recent paper in Developmental Biology: doi.org/10.1016/j.ydbi… And stay tuned for more publications soon! 😉

New preprint! Read about the role of MARVEL transmembrane protein CMTM4 in controlling PMC migration and biomineralization via adhesive regulation during sea urchin skeletogenesis.
