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

How long will it take for this thing to produce enough fruit for a cobbler? #PeachTreeDish

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

Congrats to Julia Bittencourt for 2nd place tie in grad student poster competition @ the #NIDDK @GUDMAP 15th anniv mtg. Julia produced #nanoCT atlases of genitourinary development for her undergraduate project. Resources for the #urology community are at gudmap.org.

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.

Jim Morrison might be the lizard king, but the lizard queen is Bonnie Kircher, PhD! Congrats on stellar dissertation defense, Dr. Kircher. Can’t wait to see what you do as a postdoc with @rrbehringer at MD Anderson! 🦎🐁

#LewisWolpert, one of the most influential thinkers in #devbio, has completed his 91 yr developmental journey. As a student in the Tickle & Wolpert lab, I admired how Lewis treated every person, be they an undergraduate or a FRS, as a colleague. He cared about the ideas —status &
