#LGBTScience I am a cell biologist who studies the cytoskeleton’s role in cell migration and morphogenesis. I am also black. Diversity is critical to the future of science. I work to lift the next generation 🔬🌈✊🏾

Oh and how could I forget the incomparable @phdgprotein86!

Thanks @VanderbiltCDB @VUBasicSciences I had such a wonderful visit. My lunch with students and my meetings with faculty were fantastic! @MAG2ART @TyskaLabActual @KaverinaLab 🔬👨🏾‍🔬

Always great to catch up with a good friend 🫶🏾

Very much looking forward to my visit!

Come be my colleague!

Hey Folks! Are you planning to attend the #TAGC24? The abstract deadline is Nov. 9th! Themes include genomes & genomics, neurogenetics, quantitative genetics, population & evolutionary genetics, initiatives in education & DEI, & more. @GeneticsGSA https://t.co/CrUeKqDMbx”

📢The @NIH funded FIRST Research Program at @UTSWNews is seeking to recruit up to 5 highly qualified first-time tenure-track faculty in the broad and intersecting fields of cancer, brain/neuroscience, and biomedical engineering. #SpotlightUTSW Share/RT

@anna_m_ritz @Reed_College_ Big thanks to all those involved! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

This was years in the making and was collaboration between my colleague Ann Ritz and her Computational Systems Bio class and my Cell Bio class. It is an example of how powerful CUREs can be in both discovery and teaching! @anna_m_ritz @Reed_College_
