Study by @KaylaK_Bio @DrBrainbridge @carlson_lab et al (bit.ly/3DOuSwT) reveals that conventional PLC activation pathways are not required for the #fertilization-induced depolarization of #Xenopus eggs that prevents the entry of additional sperm bit.ly/3ZfrBAs

So excited to share this work! And grateful to have shared it with @DrBrainbridge 🎉🐸

The Brieno-Enriquez lab is seeking a motivated postdoc interested in exploring the naked mole-rat as a model for reproductive aging. Recent work from the lab has been published in Nature Comms and featured in NatGeo! nationalgeographic.com/animals/articl… To apply: nature.com/naturecareers/…

Happy to share a fun new collaboration! @KaylaK_Bio @DrBrainbridge @lucajovine biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I can’t believe #FIR2023 is over already! @FIRbees was such an amazing 6 weeks course that I couldn’t recommend enough to any early career repro scientist! Here’s reasons why you should apply (if you weren’t already thinking of doing so)👇

The FIRbees learnt how to dissect the mouse pituitary gland and culture primary pituitary cells with Prof Djurdjica Coss 🧠🐁 We also heard about interesting work from the Coss lab looking at metabolism and sex differences in mouse models of obesity

First official day of FIR learning transfection and mobility shift assays 👩‍🔬team work makes the dream work (especially with pipetting) @FIRbees @DrAmyGarrett @KaylaK_Bio

@DrBrainbridge Proud of you!!! ♥️

Congrats to @larajcrystal for passing her comprehensive exam!!!! #proudmentor

The lab is looking pretty good today!

@carlson_lab Thank you! 😊

Congrats to @KaylaK_Bio for a fantastic fellowship seminar today! #proudmentor

Generally I'm not superstitious....except for electrophysiology experiments.

@DrBrainbridge Their ears have been spared 😂😂

Sample prep for a plate reader assay looks a lot better when it’s sped up #PittBioSci #CarlsonLab

How does an Allotetraploid embryo activate its two-ish genomes? Wes Phelps's doctoral magnum opus dissects Xenopus laevis #ZGA, up on @biorxivpreprint !

@DrBrainbridge Love doing science with you 😊

Very excited to share a piece of my dissertation work! 🐸

@BoyleLab Happy birthday! 🎉

Starting today and for the next year I can, and will, post this whenever I want and it will be true.

Rotation student Ally started in the lab today. Welcome Ally!
