We use multiplex clonal analysis and single-cell photoconversion to show environmental, not intrinsic factors affect the cell fate of multipotent caudal hindbrain cells in the chick🐣! Congratulations 🎉 to our fantastic @WeiyiTang2 & @BronnerMarianne 👏 3/3

#Neuralcrest stem cells formed from the caudal hindbrain migrate long distances to the heart and gut, but how cell fate is determined is unclear. 2/3

Meet Jan Stundl @JanStundl! Jan is Marie Skłodowska-Curie PostDoc fellow who studies a broad range of intriguing vertebrate species, including lampreys, sturgeons, and axolotls, to unravel ancestral patterns of vertebrate embryogenesis. #MeetTheLab

Happy #InternationalWomenInScienceDay! The Bronner Lab is chock-full of outstanding women in science, but here’s a throwback photo of our fearless leader and our lab’s OG woman in science @BronnerMarianne! 🔬 🧬 🐣

Dedicated undergrad Cece shows off her creative problem solving skills with her solution to a runny nose!

So this is a chicken, not a turkey, but morphologically it’s close enough. Happy turkey day!
