Many hours of zoom to this moment.

Reconstructing Waddington’s landscape from data.

Congrats to everyone involved, most importantly Dillon and Eric.

We actually discussed that paper in journal club! I thought your approach of chromatin remodeling changing the landscape was very interesting. I have been meaning to think about this further but I'm starting to learn that unless I block my calendar, it'll never happen! Thanks for the reminder.

Some days you just need to watch tiny goats jumping around in colorful pajamas.

Thrilled to share my main postdoc work with @jamesbriscoe.bsky.social

We used genomic barcoding + scRNAseq in chick & human embryos to reveal a lineage architecture that reshapes how we understand neural tube development & cell fate decisions

More border control than many countries. Also I’m terrified that if my phone dies and I can’t show my QR code I won’t ever be able to leave.

We made it to Gastrulation Reloaded!

We didn’t think we’d be late but we had to go in circles around the block. I would not have thought any other institute would be harder to get into than The Crick!
