Spending my last few weeks post-defense in the @awormwelcome.bsky.social lab imaging my final project as a PhD student! Looking forward to doing a #postdoc in the intersection of regeneration, neuroscience, and evodevo (lab TBD!) #microscopymonday

Hot off the press! It’s always a blast to collaborate with people in the Biology Education field and learn something new while you teach qubeshub.org/community/gr...
Using Planarian Regeneration to Engage Students in Critical Evaluation of Developmental Biology Data
<p>This lesson focuses on elucidating the mechanisms of regeneration in the planarian, <em>Schmidtea mediterranea</em>. Planarians can regenerate all mature cells and complex tissues through their abu...

Happy thanksgiving! Thankful for natural places like Rock and Shoals that let me explore worms in the wild

My mentee in undergrad has a 3.9 GPA in biology and wants to do her PhD at Stanford in the microbiology department. She found her dream lab. Can my community help us? She's so talented and I really want this for her! She has accomplished so much against all odds. Please share.
We still need >60 plant submissions for the Botany & Dragons Bestiary! Please share the flyer with your students! #iamabotanist #plantsci #ttrpg forms.office.com/Pages/Respon...
I had a fantastic time at @mdibiolab.bsky.social for the ReBilD course! Getting to learn about regeneration from pioneers in the field and experience first-hand the power of different models was life changing. ❤️
A wren made a nest in my lantana and her eggs finally hatched!
A bit of happy news. I'm very excited to share the newest from the R-G lab, a preprint focusing on regenerative neurogenesis in our favorite worms! Grad students @kendallbclay.bsky.social and @taylormlanier.bsky.social co-authored this awesome manuscript. 1/5 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Combinatorial mechanisms specify cellular location and neurotransmitter identity during regeneration of planarian neurons
During regenerative neurogenesis, neurons must be created in the right types and locations. Though regenerative neurogenesis is limited in humans, other animals use regenerative neurogenesis to faithf...

Found my happy place in Colorado (a store with tons of fossils to look at)
Hi! Reintroducing myself on this platform. My name is Kendall Clay and I am a graduate student in @awormwelcome.bsky.social lab! I study the regeneration of dopaminergic neurons in planarians! My research interests lie in the intersection of neuroscience, evo/devo, and regeneration 1/2
