Sometimes, you meet a student who reminds you why we teach & mentor. Our latest paper, led by Gonzalo & now published in eLife, reveals how the cell cycle acts as a timekeeper for NSCs. A truly exceptional undergrad whose curiosity & hard work made this work possible. doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

Today, we are excited to host a "Meet A Scientist" session with Dr. Asif Ahmad Bakshi from New York University Abu Dhabi. If you are in the area and interested in learning about his research, scientific journey, and opportunities at NYU Abu Dhabi, please join us. Also, there will be pizza!

LINEAGES, TIME, AND DIVERSITY: We are excited to host our inaugural Neural Diversity Lab Retreat! A special thank you to Asif Bakshi for joining us and sharing his passion for science and mentoring through @jkscientists!

This week, we are excited to host Dr. Ismail Ahmed from the University of Utah. Yesterday, Ismail had an interactive session with our students! Today, he will present his research in our Department of Biology Seminar. Thank you, Ismail www.pueblobrainscience.org/meet-a-scien...

The deadline to register for the Annual Southwest Developmental Biology meeting is fast approaching! Don’t miss out—register soon, and we’ll see you in New Mexico! More information about the program and speakers here www.swsdb2025.org #SWSDB25

Our mission to educate, train & mentor the next generation continues. Grateful to the dedicated instructors who share our mission & fly in from all corners to teach in New Mexico—and to our sponsors, without whom this wouldn’t be possible. Three days of fun begins in NM #PuebloBrainScience✊

It is the time to highlight our research accomplishments on the 34th Annual Research Day at the Department of Biology UNM In addition to trainee talks/posters, we have two amazing scientists talking about Lizards and Flies! More information about the program here biology.unm.edu/news-events/...

I am thrilled to share that Dr. Adil Wani has passed his PhD with distinction! 🎉 His dedication & brilliance have been the driving force behind our lab’s success—every award & grant we received has his hard work at its core. Adil's clonal images are beautiful. I couldn’t be prouder of my lineage!
