Reminded of how the people matter as much if not more as the job does.

ICYMI… Special congrats to @yinanwan.bsky.social for winning this year’s Chi-Bin Chien Award from IZFS! #YouRock 🐟 #zebrafish
New preprint from my PhD is out!
We show that loss of miR‑219 disrupts neural border gene programs and prevents neural crest specification.
Excited to finally share it 🚀

Those of you submitting for the May 27th NIGMS MIRA deadline, are we supposed to or not supposed to include a myBibliography link in the Biosketch? The regular directions say No but the MIRA NOFO (PAR-26-121) says Yes.
Which is it? Don't want this bounced for this reason.

Zebrafish Rock!
Tandukar et al. dissect the mutational, gene expression and morphological features of adult human skin melanocytes at single-cell resolution.
Neuronal size varies across evolution, diseases, and brain regions. It has long been regarded as a descriptor, not a driver of function. Using triploid Xenopus, Liu et al. show that neuronal enlargement remodels neurite geometry, reduces proliferation, increases phospho-extracellular signal regulated kinase (pERK) responses, and alters behavior, linking cellular scaling to brain function.
