Getting ready for our 8:30 session in room 252ABC. Join us to discuss genes, traits and identities, and navigating sex, gender, and sexuality in genomics. #ASHG25

World’s best PI! Couldn’t do it without all the support and laughs :)
So proud of @saahimall.bsky.social for crushing her comps today. She's a force in the lab and seeing her present her plan for the next few years was awesome.

I am so excited to share our most recent work & my first big project as a graduate student! We leveraged spatial transcriptomics to study the cell-cell communication involved in human lung development. Here’s the full study: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A spatial transcriptomic atlas of acute neonatal lung injury across development and disease severity
A molecular understanding of lung organogenesis requires delineation of the timing and regulation of the cellular transitions that ultimately form and support a surface capable of gas exchange. While ...

Congrats to @saahimall.bsky.social on her first study from her PhD! Also, science is always more fun when done with friends. Great to work as always with @jensucre.bsky.social and @jkropski.bsky.social!

best lab everrrrrrrrr
New lab photo(s)! First time the whole lab was together in person in ~4 years. Had the bright idea to stick us all in the freight elevator on the way down for our photo shoot.

Hi everyone, I’m the graduate student here. I’ve never felt a worse feeling than this moment. There is no way to justify what’s been happening.

I wasn’t even notified that my study section wasn’t meeting. I still haven’t been notified. I’ve effectively been ghosted by the NIH - make it make sense.
Today my graduate student's F31 should be getting reviewed. She worked so fucking hard on this proposal. Yesterday in lab meeting I watched in real time as the realization that her grant wasn't getting reviewed hit her like a train. Hundreds of people feeling this way every week.
