To celebrate our lab’s 2-year anniversary, we tried pottery! We made plates and vases, and discovered that science skills don’t always translate to the pottery wheel 😅. Such a great afternoon with the team!

We came, we inspected, we conquered. 🔍💀🎃
Amargant i Riera Lab = best team costume at #CrepHS Halloween party, as the scariest thing of all: an EHS inspection! #SafetyFirst

The Amargant i Riera lab was at the Upper Midwest Summit for Reproductive Science! Great science & amazing trainees. Andy won Best Oral Presentation for his talk on follicle mechanosensing, and Karen & Sara rocked their posters! #ProudPI

Summer internships are wrapping up, and today Karen, Andy, and Ethan presented their research at our CRepHS seminar series. It’s amazing how much they’ve accomplished in just a few weeks, so proud of their hard work and growth! #ProudPI

Welcome to the lab, Ashleigh and Madison! They’re joining us as Research Technicians and will be supporting our ongoing work on ovarian aging and biomechanics. We’re thrilled to have them on board and excited for the contributions they’ll bring to our team!

With the recent changes in the government and new NIH directions, it feels odd to have submitted our lab's first R35 and R01. I guess it's time to celebrate small victories 🙌

It’s been an honor to present our story on stiffness and folliculogenesis to the mechanobiology institute in Singapore. Thank you Joe Chan for the invitation! Looking forward to more interactions with the mechanobiology community 😊
