🍭 @DominicaCao, Jenna Bergmann (@bergmann_jenna), and a team in Dr. @BernaSozen_'s lab examined the role of glucose in #gastrulation!
Read the @Nature paper: https://t.co/CE6EDCiOga
Listen to the discussion in our latest episode: https://t.co/NLAAgAMWjl
Ecstatic to share this work revolutionizing our understanding of metabolism in mammalian development, now out in @Nature! Grateful for @BernaSozen_’s mentorship and proud to be a part of this team's effort as co-first author with @DominicaCao. Story linked in the thread below!

We’re incredibly excited to present our work investigating the role of metabolism in mammalian development, out now in @Nature showing two state-specific spatiotemporal waves of glucose activity guiding mouse gastrulation
🔥🔥🔥 new paper out from our very own @YaleMed A/Prof Berna Sozen lab @BernaSozen_ led by @DominicaCao + @bergmann_jenna shines a light on the role of metabolism in early embryonic development Beautiful work 😍😍 https://t.co/Qt8jNoTynY
Our latest out today @Nature!
We revisit a century-old theory and show that metabolic gradients work hand-in-hand with genetic&signalling instructions to shape the embryo. Glucose isn't just an energy source, it acts as a major conductor of the body plan🍬

Phenomenal @YaleGenetics retreat this year between diverse faculty talks spanning new frontiers in human brain organoids 🧠 to evolution of blood feeding behaviors of mosquitoes 🦟, career chat tables for trainees, and more! Love discussing all the groundbreaking science here!
I’m working with my peers to build a database of graduate fellowships for *international* bio PhD students in the US as they’re ineligible to apply for the F31/GRFP. I emailed 15+ universities and so far have this resource: https://t.co/jFetO3lcp4. Know any others? Please link!
People who say not to meet your heroes clearly aren’t developmental biologists. Amongst other incredible scientists, I got to meet the authors of my favorite textbook @mjbarresi and Scott Gilbert at @SocDevBio conference
Technologies to model early mammalian embryo development in vitro have advanced rapidly, providing new insights into self-organization and environmental control. @BernaSozen_ and I wrote a review as part of a special issue on #earlyembryonicmodels: https://t.co/F8o9WaxTcJ (1/3)
We’re pleased to share our first publication from the Sozen lab, now out @Nature! Through our 3D strategy, we capture spontaneous emb. + exembr. lineage bifurcation to study aspects of early human embryo patterning, starting from a single stem cell type.

Pleased to share the first pre-print of my postdoc work with @bensteventon2 in the @Steventonlab describing how Mannose is crucial for mesoderm specification and subsequent morphogenesis https://t.co/YaQuCOoVu9
Pleased to share w/ the #devbio community a story that’s taken hold of my heart since opening the lab with @bernasozen_ three years ago. Embryos! Metabolism! In our pre-print, we show how a wave of glucose uptake is necessary for #gastrulation progression. https://t.co/gSH8iDO3z6
