Congratulations @tonytsai00!!!!!.
Super excited to join the Pew Scholars community! I am grateful for the foundation's support of our idea to explore the versatile functions of cadherins and mechanical forces in embryo development.

Our paper on NEMP1 and the nuclear envelope is out now!.
Making #RedBlodCells. Loss of NEMP1 causes #splenomegaly & defects of terminal #erythropoiesis; @McNeillLabWU show that NEMP1 is required for #NuclearEnvelope openings & nuclear extrusion, two processes essential for making #RBCs @WashUDevBio #PLOSBiology

Great to see grad students in action!.
@Plus_Chiu is an expert when it comes to dissecting out mouse retinas!! All that #Zebrafish embryo training prepared him for this rotation! @WUSTLdbbs @tonytsai00

A great thread for how to keep organized as a new PI! (At least a great place to start).

Thanks for sharing our exciting NEMP1 findings!! Read to find out how NEMP1 is involved with erythropoiesis, nuclear envelope opening and erythroblasts enucleation.

Look out for our, soon to be, PNAS paper! We describe an ancient role for the Hippo pathway in axis formation and morphogenesis in Hydra. In the meantime, check out the pre-print on bioRxiv!

It has been a great '22 interview cycle! So many brilliant minds ready to take the next step in their academic careers. A big thanks to the faculty that conduct interviews and an even bigger thanks to the grad students who help welcome these interviewees to #WashU.
Last night was a wrap on our student Q&A for #WashU #DBBS 2022 interview weekend! It was great to chat with this cycles interviewees. I hope y'all had a great time meeting the current grad students, and I hope to see some of you in the fall! #DRSCB #PhDLife #Gradstudents
