It has been such a delight to work with @LordLab_Pitt since the start of my PhD. Very excited for their preprint to be out in the world and absolutely honored to have been able to use these amazing tools in my research!
Check out our companion preprint!

We’re very excited to share the first preprint from my lab along with @h4rrymcnamara, @BillZJia, @AdamEzraCohen, and Alex Schier. We describe a set of methods for exerting spatial control over Nodal signaling in zebrafish development.

@LifeAfterMyPhD You don’t need a PhD to get a job in science. Do your research, take a gap year, and truly think if your career goals align with a PhD or not.

Nothing is more exciting than a beautiful fluorescent Timelapse of a novel technique! So excited to process images tomorrow.

@TheStrugglingS4 @ANHayden1997 @KimMoraless there’s always plan B 😂

[The Struggling Scientists @TheStrugglingS4]

Don't lie to me! You've thought about it too🧐

[Alyssa Emig @AlyssaEmig]

@ANHayden1997 Amazing 😂

There comes a time in grad school when your computer crashes because you are working on a paper, poster, and thesis committee update all at once. Guess the online/adobe reference paper tabs, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Powerpoint, and Word couldn't hang with me today.

@ILikeExplants @GetYourChorion @bcmhouston So glad to have you as a part of the team!!

@KimMoraless My ringworm needed two rounds of treatment. OTC cream and then an oral anti fungal. It sucked. Glad you got a good diagnosis!

[Alyssa Emig @AlyssaEmig]

@Meikeesther1 100% mentorship style. I told @GetYourChorion that I wanted someone to metaphorically hold my hand and let ME let go when I was ready. Also, listening to your student’s interests. Margot let me explore my interests when helping me pick my research work that would fit with her lab

[Alyssa Emig @AlyssaEmig]

@AreyLab @ANHayden1997 @BCMGradSchool Yeah Ashley!!!!

[Alyssa Emig @AlyssaEmig]

They are interested in genetics!
