A Still Life of Academia moment from my desk on the promotion with tenure. A note of thanks to all trainees, colleagues, and mentors who made the past years and effort so exciting and enjoyable. Now..the next phase. Thanks to HMSGenetics/BCH OrthoSurgery - and me parents.

@RachelLukowicz the lof mutant is gain of function kcnh2. Interestingly when you cross these mutants to some connexins (Cx43/sortfin) it can suppress this growth. I very much like your work! better in describing than I. I just thought it interesting your choice of last zf standing!

@fishyskeleton Thanks, Matthew, your work was helpful in thinking about bioelectric signaling! In the comic, we discuss gjd4/Cx46.8 (which hasn't been characterized in fish before this). I am assuming you are referring to the other Cx43 long-tail mutants?

We created a comic book based on our research on the role of GJ channels and bioelectricity in neuromuscular development! This was an amazing collaboration with undergraduate art student Bentley Smallwood.🐟🔬⚡️ Read the whole version here: opentext.uoregon.edu/science-comics… #Zebrafish

@ReischauerS my iacuc would not like my venture into this space

Patterning in mammals anyone? @fishyskeleton x.com/AMAZlNGNATURE/…

@RachelLukowicz Absolutely fantastic work! You might note that the lof zebrafish you detail at the end is also due to increased bioelectric signaling leading to larger fins!

Also, I want to add that this is maybe the coolest thing that I have ever been a part of. It was so fun to work with Bentley, who is very talented. I pinch myself every time I look at it!

@TheLovelyLab @slewzeus @MadS100tist @jbwallingford @lucksmith @SMBurgessLab ….thank you It has been a while since I felt this centered calm

@benoitbruneau Kenmore square Boston

@fishyskeleton Which rat is this?

Ahh my 20s

@TDCapellini Beer garden on Nekar. Don’t worry about anyone else being there.

@SMBurgessLab @MadS100tist @Rob_Lalonde89 @chrmosimann Scared

@jbwallingford @MBLScience No fish fins?? Tasty

And yes, in case you've not figured it out yet, I am gearing up to introduce the Xenopus system to the Embryology kids @MBLScience next week. So stoked!

@aimeezun @MarianRosL Go team DV!

Our first of three keynote lectures @MarianRosL kicks off the limb meeting #EMBOlimbdev #dorsoventral #limbpatterning

Fun to read the greats. Ross Harrison invented cell culture, but his first love was development of fish fins: "when I told a lady that I was writing my thesis on this subject, her reply was, "What earthly good are fins? I never eat them." jstor.org/stable/1661017 @fishyskeleton

@megankillian need some art work on them walls as it seems you will be there a bit....

That explains a lot

I know these guys!!!!

Excited to host #AdvSciCom24 with an exciting lineup of speakers, including @KatalinSolymosi, @ferencmueller and @mvargam on three consecutive Mondays, starting tomorrow at 8AM CET on Zoom. Sign up link: aquaculture.uni-mate.hu/en/advanced-co…

@ZCofran @TracyKivell Post link when it is available. Looks interesting

@AlexCarlKeene @ScienceStowers @NicolasRohner @TAMU_Biology this can't be good....

The band is back together @ScienceStowers! @NicolasRohner, Wes Warren, @TAMU_Biology #cavefish
