“We report a novel imaging technique using a recently developed clearing reagent called LUCID that makes it possible to capture the complete cellular-resolution 3D structures of larval and juvenile zebrafish.” New work from Weinstein Lab at NIH 🐟

So long, NIH. The place I grew up in and discovered my passion for science communication. I found a true calling to help take innovative genomics research and make it accessible, interesting and fun for wider audiences. I'm so devastated that my whole team got laid off today.
