Excited to share the lab's 1rst preprint! Rapid high-res immunofluorescence is now possible in cultured & environmental diatoms thanks to 4-fold expansion microscopy. A step-change for comparative cell biology in one of the most important phytoplankton groups on the planet 🥳

Such a blast getting to participate in this. Also makes it so much harder to have to say bye to Utah soon 😭
Had a blast listening to exciting science and stories at last week's 4th annual Graduate Student Rising Stars symposium @uofubiochem.bsky.social, topped off by a keynote describing the wonders of cone snail venoms from Toto Olivera. Thanks to all of our visitors and speakers!

February 15th is #internationalchildhoodcancerday - and a great time to appreciate how far we’ve come in treating childhood cancer. But, it’s also a time to recognize the importance of scientific funding in guiding progress. 🧬

Thanks to @thetransmitter.bsky.social for highlighting these stories.
Young researchers are essential for us to improve human health and society.

The fear and confusion caused by current administration has real consequences that real people have to face.

Help tell their story and support science across the US.
