Congrats to Dr. Alexandra Wiscovitch Bonilla (shown here w the toughest members of her committee) for defending her PhD. If your image of a successful graduate student doesn't include a Hispanic single mother w young kids, think again.#DevBiol #gradschool #Latinx @uprm @UFBioMed

Postdoc opening. If you are interested in how sex differences at a single-cell level influence organ formation, and you'd like to study this in the context of genitourinary development and congenital variations, then apply to join our new GUDMAP project. bit.ly/37rax3T

With the start of the academic year upon us, it’s worth re-sharing this advice for #students. Prof. #SnoopDogg knows what’s up. The #syllabus isn’t just a schedule; it explains expectations, policies, assignments, grading, contact info, & tips for success.youtube.com/shorts/aL_fP5axQ…

The embryonic genital tubercle, which forms the penis & clitoris, was thought to be sexually undifferentiated before sex hormones kick-in. In her single-cell analysis of “undifferentiated” genitalia, @barmfield found sexual dimorphisms @ single-cell level. bit.ly/2SyEE1E

1000 apologies to Brooke Armfield @Barmfield26 -- I omitted the "26" from her Twitter handle and tagged the wrong person. 😳

Looks great! Thanks to the organisers for setting this up!
Here we go: Save the date for UK Chick Dev Bio Meeting on 10th Sept 🐣 We've got a great line up of invited speakers and would love to have talks from post docs and students so do register & submit abstract if you have a story to share chickdevbio21.eventbrite.co.… #ChickDevbio21

In honor of Bob Dylan's 80th birthday, here is a photo of Dylan sitting next to my PhD mentor, Cheryll Tickle, when they were awarded honorary degrees from St. Andrews. What a thrill that must have been -- I bet Dylan had never sat beside such an esteemed developmental biologist.

My old labmates are some of my best friends. The last couple years of my PhD, despite a traumatic personal life, were happy, wonderful, and filled with laughter. The Capel Lab was a place I just loved to be in.
Did anyone actually enjoy their PhD? Do non-toxic research environments even exist?

1 yr ago, Dr Kelsey Lewis @feministbiology defended her PhD on Zoom & graduation events were cancelled😢. Yesterday, Dr Bonnie Kircher @kircherbk was hooded at an in-person (albeit low-density) graduation ceremony😁. Grateful to the scientists behind #Vaccines & to #BidenRollout.
