I’m delighted to share that I will be starting my lab @univmiami in Spring 2025! We will study cellular and developmental biology in non-bilaterian animals – cnidarians, ctenophores, placozoans, and sponges – to explore early animal evolution.

Spotted: A glowing gelatinous jelly ✨ This tiny jelly, Botrynema brucei, is primarily found in the midwaters of the Arctic Ocean between depths of 900 and 2,600 meters (2,900 to 6,500 feet). They grow to a length of only three centimeters (about an inch).

“But I do need you to love San Francisco a little bit, like I do a lot, in order to hear the story of how my city fell apart—and how it just might be starting to pull itself back together.” A remarkable piece of writing from @NellieBowles: theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

The Scientific World Is Far Too Obsessed With “Genius”

We’ve been conditioned to believe that scientific advances come from individual geniuses making breakthrough discoveries. That’s wrong.

In response to this unoriginal tweet, I’ll go first: Never trust your first results, especially when they agree with what you expected. Skepticism is the price we pay for amazing science.

Today marks 6 years since I moved to San Francisco to join the @BarabanLab to develop #zebrafish as a model of genetic #epilepsy. Im excited to share much of that work through our latest publication. This is just the first step towards new therapies.
BarabanLab@BarabanLab3 Jun 2021
Our most recent #zebrafish work to model human #epilepsy gene mutations. Many authors to thank for shepherding this monumental multi-year lab-wide effort to completion. Especially this talented trio: @AlieshaGrif @Coca_876 @JingLiuPhD 1/2 nature.com/articles/s42003-0…

1) get stuck on bioinformatics issue 2) Work tirelessly on a solution for days 3) find the solution!! 4) find a new problem that means everything you just did was a waste of time because this issue is bigger 5) think about crying 6) get more coffee 7) repeat #Bioinformatics

Tip: Never add "final" to a file name, as it is guaranteed to bring bad luck. Use the numerical date to differentiate saved drafts.
