Attending #ICDB2025? I will present my work titled, "Saa2/Neat1 and Grem1 positive mesenchymal stem cells respond to intervertebral disc damage by upregulating tissue-specific differentiation
markers post injury" on Saturday (6/21) at 10:50-11:05am in the San Juan Ballroom 1-3. Stop by!

One of my favorite Dev Bio Professors @rogerslabucd.bsky.social is presenting her work on Neural Crest EMT at this mornings session at #ICDB2025

It was so good to see my friend, THE @carolynchlebek.bsky.social , present her amazing postdoc work that investigates the role of diet and obesity on metabolic changes for bone health. I hope you enjoyed your visit to the WashU Ortho department. Thanks for taking the time to have lunch with us!

It's so important to have community in academia, especially now more than ever. Shout out to the WashU Black Postdoctoral Association or being my community and village at WashU and in St. Louis. Love y'all ❤️

Shout out to one of my science idols @drstarbird.bsky.social for gracing WashU with her presence and presenting her cool work on TAM receptors. Thank you for sage advice and guidance!

From the NPA conference in Boston,MA ➡️ 2025 Cartilage Biology and Pathology Gordon Research Conference in Pomona,CA. Thank you to the organizers for the opportunity to present my postdoctoral research work. I am forever grateful for all of these opportunities that come my way.

Excited to be a third time attendee (and hopefully my last time as a postdoc) of the 2025 National Postdoctoral Association Annual Conference in Boston, MA. What a supportive and uplifting environment. Thank you to the WashU Office of Postdoctoral Affairs for the opportunity to attend #NPA2025

I want to honor this last day of Black History Month by celebrating winning an ORS Spine Section Outreach Award & the Spine Section Podium Award at the 2025 ORS Annual Conference this month. The support for research in the US is more perilous than ever & these awards give me strength to keep going.

Very poignant thoughts and comments from our esteemed speaker, Dr. Gilda Barabino, at the inaugural Black Ortho Research Network (BORN) luncheon today. #ORS2025

#ORS2025 I have worked with @settonlab.bsky.social going on 4 years and this is first time seeing her speak. I'm really excited that it's at the Education and Outreach RIG🙂

So excited for the Education and Outreach RIG. #ORS2025 @cpane94.bsky.social
