Couldn’t have done it without our great mentor 💪🏾 #TheLovelyLab

1/ Most importantly, two trainees successfully defended their dissertations in the summer/fall. Dr. Hieu Vo (summer) and Dr. Raeden Gray @rae-day.bsky.social (fall). The first F1s from the Lovely Lab, and we could not be more proud!!!

4/ Super Bonus, Raeden's main manuscript from the lab, which was a preprint during our last lab update, has been published in ACER. Fantastic work finishing her PhD project, and we will be watching her continued growth in the Mosimann lab. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

3/ Raeden has moved on to a postdoc position in @chrmosimann.bsky.social lab, where she is bringing her expertise in gene-ethanol interactions to the LPM and heart development.

It was so great having you there in person!! Thank you so much for your guidance these past few years! Couldn’t have done it without you 😁

It was such a pleasure serving on Raeden’s @rae-day.bsky.social thesis committee and seeing her grow as a scientist. The celebratory shot of coconut rum didn’t hurt.

6/ Finalizing her rotation project @rae-day.bsky.social expanded our understanding of tissue-specific RA receptor expression in facial development using #HCR @diffjournal.bsky.social @hcrimaging.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Birth defects are the #1 cause of death in the first year of life (🧵). Birth defects kill more than twice as many children as cancer. Birth defects are diseases of developmental biology. Here are CDC statistics for 2021. 1/5 wisqars.cdc.gov/pdfs/leading...

If you’ve been directly impacted by a pause or cancellation of an NIH study session, we @forbes.com would like to talk to you

Jane Liebschutz, MD MPH (she/her)@liebschutz.bsky.social · 2y ago

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Telling myself it’s ok to buy a new book ‘because it’s Christmas’ like I won’t be buying a new book ‘because it’s January/nearly Valentine’s Day/the start of spring/5 o’clock somewhere’
