@NinaSteele17 Those are all tough. Sending you strength, resilience, and the power to know that things will get better.

2024 is going to be a very different year for me. I am getting a divorce. I am breastfeeding my 22 month old still. I am writing my first R01. I am supporting my lab, as much as right now, they are supporting me. One thing, I know in my heart for sure... things are gonna change.

Mikaela Follmer is giving a pitch for funding for Clear Direction Mentoring to promote diversity in science.

As an alumni, they let me bring three guests into Widener library. Happy surprise.

It was so fun to show my students and former students my old stomping grounds. This is where the graduation was

ASCB presentations went well! Mikaela rocked her first oral presentation at an international conference. We loved learning from and meeting with colleagues and friends. I’m proud of these current and former students.

Post defense party for Karli! @karliswenson @yozekin @CUAnschutz @CCTSI @MikaelaFollmer

Karli’s defense thesis presentation!

Happy first day of school to everyone in the lab! And happy first day to our rotation student Roxana!

@karliswenson gave a great talk on how fetal CBD exposure impacts offspring glucose intolerance and insurance resistance at the 2023 cannabis research conference (of which she was the chair of the program planning committee!) @cannabisresear3

Our summer undergraduate student Opal gave an incredible talk last week and finished her summer internship!

One of our summer undergraduate students gave an incredible poster presentation last week and has completed her internship! @CUDevBio

Congratulations to PhD Candidate @MikaelaFollmer !!!

We recreated Dr. Ozekin’s figures with food. Points to people who identify them:@yozekin

Introducing Dr. Yunus Ozekin PhD!!! He defended his thesis today and made us all proud. @yozekin @bsp_cu @CSD_CUAMC @CUMedicalSchool @CUDevBio

@mjsikora Congratulations!!!

Congratulations to @karliswenson on the publication of her work showing that intrauterine CBD exposure changes brain development in mice in collaboration with @WonchanOh @ephyswizard Published today! nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

#Cleftpalate is a failure of the roof of the #mouth to close and is one of the most frequent #birthdefects affecting 1 in every 1000-2000 babies. A new study reveals the cellular heterogeneity and molecular underpinnings of #palate development. doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.5…

@phil_w888 @SiegenthalerLab @CUAnschutz @yozekin Let us know when you find a way to teach a mouse to vape. Until then, we have to use a method that delivers less nicotine per vape- it’s like sitting in a car with someone who is vaping.

@SiegenthalerLab @CUAnschutz @BatesLab @yozekin Wow! You put a mouse emoji right in your tweet. That's far less misleading than @CUAnschutz & @BatesLab have been. Now if you could only add a disclaimer that the exposure had no resemblance to real-world conditions...

@SeismicPirate @BatesLab @CUAnschutz @CSD_CUAMC @bsp_cu @CUDevBio In an ideal world, we would recommend avoiding cigarettes and vapes just like how we say not to drink alcohol during pregnancy. Ultimately, that conversation should occur between the mother and their doctor. Our research will hopefully help clinicians determine best practices

Congratulations to @yozekin for his perseverance in completing this important research showing that vaping nicotine during pregnancy disrupts craniofacial development through inhibition of kcnj2 doi.org/10.1016/j.ydbi…
