One of my favorite lab traditions: our yearly State of the Lab, my opportunity to highlight the accomplishments and acknowledge the tremendous work of this amazing group of scientists 🥰

This #FluorescenceFriday: an image by @CarolineCencer, formerly in @TyskaLabActual. 3-dimensional whole mount sections of mouse small intestine (duodenum) can be seen showing multiple villi stained with fluorescent antibodies. 🔬 🎨

#CellSpeak has begun! From October 20-26, share your science and engage with the public. Use #CellSpeak and tag @ASCBiology to showcase your work. Let’s bridge the gap between scientists and society! Get involved: https://t.co/KM3itF9dp4 #SciComm #publicengagement #cellbiology

My first co-first author manuscript is out now in MBoC! 🥳Thanks to @ASCBiology MBoC for selecting our image for the cover of the Oct 1 issue🤩 @ZanicLab @VUBasicSciences @VanderbiltCDB @VUCellImaging https://t.co/yHB1lkLUt4

Check out this amazing paper by my former lab mate, Jen! Full of beautiful microscopy of tuft cells! 🔬

Wu lab summer outing to the beach! Bidding farewell to our summer undergraduate intern Avery and welcome to Clarissa, visiting medical student from Copenhagen #HalfMoonBay 🏖️☀️

Welcoming our newest Wu lab members. The largest my group has been in many years! #DreamTeam @xiyuge29 @CarolineCencer

Happy #FluorescenceFriday ! Here is a zebrafish eye stained for actin and depth coded!

Never a boring day imaging actin 🎇 @NikonInst @TyskaLabActual
