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
Poster for talk at the Fiske Planetarium on Dec 8 at 7 pm. The talk is entitled "Journey to the Center of the Embryo".

Another one for Science! It's about ground squirrels, who can build muscles even after months of hibernation thanks to their trusty gut microbes. science.org/content/article/…

How do squirrels bulk up while hibernating?

The key lies in their gut microbes, a new study reveals

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/…

Mother jaguars may flirt to save their cubs’ lives

Newly witnessed strategy may prevent infanticide

My co-first author paper is officially out! We define a TACE-TGFalpha-ERK signaling loop that cells use to generate & sustain proliferation/ motility signals when intercellular junctions are disrupted and to propagate those signals to neighboring cells molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/…

A reflection on #ShutDownSTEM and a call to stay locked in on dismantling the racist structures in STEM & academia. Reach out if you want to share what you or your department are doing, especially at CU Boulder

#ShutDownSTEM, #ShutDownAcademia, has ignited a visceral response in many scientists. Some felt anger, frustration, vulnerability, and many even gained the motivation to engage in uncomfortable conversations about race. #BlackInTheIvory tinyurl.com/y9qmpwzs
