If you are in Boulder this Thurs (12/8), come to the Fiske Planetarium at CU to look at embryos on the dome! I am taking the audience on a Journey to the Center of the Embryo and am going for the record for largest video of Xenopus neurulation ever shown! tinyurl.com/BigEmbryo

Have you ever wondered what the development of the human organism looks like? Embark on a “Journey to the center of the Embryo” with Dr. @AnnekeKakebeen, a post-doctoral researcher in Dr. Lee Niswander’s lab, this December 8th at 7pm at the @fiskeplanet at CU Boulder!

Fiske Planetarium holds a monthly talk series presented by graduate students and post-doctoral researchers called “Science Under the Dome”, where scientists present different topics that scientists find interesting beyond the scope of their research.

Dr. Kakebeen studies gene environment interactions in the context of neural tube closure in mice. For Science Under the Dome, Dr. Kakebeen was motivated by the overturning of Roe v. Wade to bring embryo science to politics. Come join the discussion this Thursday!

My first article at @NewsfromScience is out! Research from @PantheraCats shows mother jaguar flirting to protect their babies from infanticidal males. It's made me glad to have shielded my cat from the trials and responsibilities of parenthood. science.org/content/article/…

Our very own @GraycenWheeler out here doing big things in SciComm!!!
Replying to @UCSC_SciCom
And that’s how @BuffsTalkSci was born! Diving into a whole smorgasbord of science stories kept Graycen excited about research throughout the grueling end of her biochem degree. She decided to attend the SciCom program and build a career out of that excitement.
