Congrats to Ryan Freund, an undergrad in our lab, who won the JHU McEllroy Award for his research on human retinal organoids, RGCs, and Notch!
Huge congratulations to Vil Fernandes for being awarded the Lister Prize! Amazing talk as always!

I'm so excited and fortunate that Brooke Weingard, Carsten Hoeke, and Danielle Gardon are joining our lab to pursue their PhDs!! Can't wait for their awesome fly and organoid work!
Interesting test for AI: You know what you should prioritize next. Ask your favorite AI to guess what that is.
I am giving a talk tomorrow at ARVO and need to prep. It took AI 6 guesses (with some hints) to get there. I'd love to hear how it works for others!
I had a great time visiting Iowa last week, and it was fantastic to catch up with outstanding alums from our PhD program who are out there doing amazing things! @shyamraji.bsky.social @eannemartin.bsky.social

Excited to share our new paper!
This work explores how Sonic hedgehog signaling helps coordinate retinal patterning and neurogenesis, including regulation of both cell cycle exit and progenitor competence during mammalian eye development journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...
