Had such a great time at #SMBE2026! It's always fun reconnecting with old friends, meeting new people, and hearing about so much exciting research - and this year my group had lots of science to share too. Looking forward to next time 💕

Thanks to my terrific students and colleagues who nominated me for the #SMBE2026 lifetime achievement award. You make science fun!

The Skeletal Genomics Group is at #SMBE2026 this year, and we have lots of science we are presenting today!

Excited to have the opportunity to keep working with @marykelaita.bsky.social on this research!
