Who wants to do a postdoc with me? I'm looking for a highly motivated histology/molecular researcher to work in an NSF funded project focused on understand how fish use their brain under hypoxic conditions. DM me for further information.

It is official! We received a new USDA grant " Exploring novel fish cultures for small and midscale aquaponic systems" with my two awesome coPI's, Dr Asiabanpour at TXST Engineering Dept and Charlie Shultz at Santa Fe Community College in New Mexico. @TxStateResearch @Txstbiology

.@txstengineering has received an additional $50,000 grant from @NASA to further develop CaerusCrete, a technology concept that uses available resources found on the moon as a building material. #TXST https://t.co/Yryqfrmf9m

#SnakeFungalDisease 🐍🍄 might seem like a recently emerged threat in N. America but in a new #RDZLab @txstbiology article we found 1955 is the earliest date of detection for #Oo in Texas #Nerodia w/ conservation implications for endemic N. harteri #txst

I'm one of the MARC program awardees. We are bringing to TXST a processing and blocking machine to do paraffin blocks with fixed tissues that can be used for diagnosis and imaging. These machines are available to all the TXST researcher community at our Shared Reseach Operations

Poster presentation today at @txst @Txstbiology STEM conference! #tRFs #molecularbiology

[Department of Biology TXST @Txstbiology]

Today, we had an amazing presentation by Dr Erika Calvo-Ochoa about neuronal regeneration in the nose of zebrafish. Did you know that fish, but not humans, can regenerate damaged neurons in their brains? #LatinxinSTEM @erikacalvophd @olfactgirl @ZebrafishRock

[Department of Biology TXST @Txstbiology]

Join us tomorrow for the Dept of Biology seminar. Dr Calvo-ochoa will speak about her work in neural regeneration using zebrafish model species. @erikacalvophd

We had a great speaker in our Dept of Biology seminar. Dr Nick Smith told us that plants aren't dumb and can optimize their physiology in response to environmental changes.

Congratulations to Stefanie Bergmanson who graduated this last December from Ivan Castro's lab. She won the Texas Society of MammalogistsRobert Packard award.

[Department of Biology TXST @Txstbiology]

Join us tomorrow for this week's seminar; our own @LaurenFuess will be sharing some of the work she and the @Symbiommunity lab have been doing at the intersection of symbiosis and immunity!

Great Department of Biology seminar by Dr Gerard Kyle. We learn about modeling strategies used to advance human dimensions research and environmental regulation.

[Department of Biology TXST @Txstbiology]

Great presentation from our Spanish visitor, Dr Pablo Burraco, at the TXST biology seminar. We learn about new approaches in aging studies in amphians by studying telomerase dynamics and changes in oxidative stress. It was fascinating! @pabloburraco

[Department of Biology TXST @Txstbiology]

This Friday, our seminar speaker comes from Spain to talk about telomerase dinamics under oxidative stress. Come to learn how changes in the environment affect our populations of amphibians.

[Pablo Burraco @pabloburraco]

Excited to be talking on Friday at the @Txstbiology Seminar series!

[Department of Biology TXST @Txstbiology]

Friday seminars are back!!! Join us this Friday to learn about new medical approaches to treat brain disorders.

Event #2… we luv holiday parties and @Txstbiology ❤️
