Excited to share this collaborative work with @sarathomasy.bsky.social- spearheaded by Raneesh Ramarapu and William Stoehr- where we visualized the unique spatial localization of tubulin isotopes in neural crest-derived corneal tissues during development. 🀩

Sometimes I think students assume I’m always at my desk waiting for them to send me documents to edit or to request letters of rec that are due in a day. I don’t know if they realize I’m a human that has a life and doesn’t really like to drop everything I’m doing to do these things last minute.

Friends, we are past the point of, β€œit’s too hard for me to watch, it’s too much for my mental health.” Please watch the videos. They are scary and devastating but you need to prepare yourselves because this violence won’t stay in Minnesota. My heart breaks for those who have been harmed and killed.
