Congratulations to two of our graduate students on their appointments in the Vanderbilt Interdisciplinary T32 Training Program in Alzheimer’s Disease! We are excited to see your continual progress @ClaireF_Scott
and @codymarshall_1!

To welcome new team members and with recent good news, we braved the rain to head out for a group lunch to celebrate. @VanderbiltCDB @VUBasicSciences

This #MALDI image of a ciliary process in a human eye from Dr. David Anderson @SpragginsLab , will put you in good aqueous humor! Of course, that line only works if you know that is where aqueous humor, the fluid in your eyes, is made, but eye have faith in the audience 📷

Out of the frying pan and into the pancreas! @angelakrusephd at @spragginslab used #3DMicroscopy to open a window pane within the pancreas showing a neural node. The pancreas makes enzymes necessary for the pandemonium of digestion, a real Pandora's box if ever there was one!

So proud of the amazing work and wonderful presentation by Ally Esselman (grad student @VanderbiltChem) at #ASMS2023. Thanks to our collaborators and friends in the @vandeplaslab

@_hubmap researcher @angelakrusephd vision brought this #3DMicroscopy image of the vasculature in the retina to light! And for those of you who are grateful the cornea puns are at a minimum, these aren’t puns, they are optical allusions 📷

Looking for a vision of how the cells in your cornea look? Look no further than @_hubmap researcher Dr. David Anderson’s Image of the Week, a #MALDI #IMS view, which is downright visionary! #HuBMAPImage #ScienceImages @SpragginsLab

Much to celebrate this week so we ventured out for a lab lunch - @chEMMAstry's defense and a bitter-sweet send-off to @j_spathies (incoming @VUBasicSciences grad student) and Lin Xu (@_hubmap fellow), who are both wrapping up summer research experiences in our lab.

Urine good hands with #_hubmap's Image of the Week from Dr. Martin Dufresne @SpragginsLab @CaprioliLab - a #MALDI #IMS image of a human kidney on their new matrix, allowing you to see the different types of cells that make up the organ. We kidney you not! #SciArt

.@_hubmap researcher Dr. Angela Kruse asks you to set your sights on this #immunfluorescence image of the optic nerve. Just a reminder to take care of your eyes, because that’s how eye roll.😉 #WomenInScience #ScienceImages #AxioScan @SpragginsLab

Want to unwrap the riddle inside the enigma that is #proteomics? Then come check out this perspective from @molcellprot about the new tools, methods, and #datasets used to make tissue maps!

Eye know it sounds "cornea," but visionary @_hubmap researcher Dr. Angela Kruse at @vanderbilt's @spragginslab blinded us with science with this #mxIF image for #NationalHealthyVisionMonth! #WomenInScience #ScienceImages #AxioScan

[Bennett Landman (Vanderbilt MASI Lab) @MASI_Lab]

Happy to share our work with @_hubmap and @SpragginsLab constructing a multi-contrast CT atlas of the human kidney. https://t.co/C9w2yBYXxt
