I'm very excited that my first postdoc paper is out now at @nature.com!

I developed new single cell CDK sensors to investigate how CDK orchestrates mitosis including investigating bistability/hysteresis, how activity is propagated, and the role of centrosomes.

Home - NOAA Ocean Acidification Program NOAA's Ocean Acidification Program prepares us for the impacts of ocean acidification through research and interdisciplinary partnerships.

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.
