It's been an amazing experience working on @ZebrafishRock for the past few years 🥰 I have met so many amazing fish tweeps & it's been an honor to give back to the fish community. Big thanks to Kevin for giving me the opportunity & to the other fabulous people on the team🐟🫶
We’re so proud of @madeline__ryan 😊 She been instrumental in keeping @ZebrafishRock what it is. Her energy is infectious and it has been the greatest honor to get to know her over the last few years. While her time with the account is nearing an end, she will continue to excel in everything she does. Stay tuned for more on her stellar career. She truly is a rising star. Thank you, Maddie 🥳 -KT
Excited to announce my new lab at @UMich_MCDB opening Jan 2025! 🎉 We’ll study how cells work together to shape the GI tract, with ties to regeneration & disease.
Hiring at all levels—esp. a research tech to help launch the lab! Info: https://t.co/QW5bFALOV9

While social media looks very different now, we are rejuvenated by the highly-collaborative and generous #zebrafish community.
