Had such a great conversation with @phdgprotein86.bsky.social. It's always great to go down memory lane with @heydrdukes.bsky.social to the early days of @blackinneuro.bsky.social, but listening back also gave me a much-needed reminder of the power of community, especially right now.

How do we build a more equitable STEM community? 💡

Close friends reuniting

Every year I am reminded of how incredible the Cell Biology community is at ASCB.

Introducing Dr. @jonathanccc-chem.bsky.social, the first PhD from the Dassama Lab! I am very proud of the broad and deep undertakings that formed Jonathan's thesis! Some highlights are in the comments. Many congrats to the doc!!

@cbmoens.bsky.social Welcome! Follow lots of people --that's how this place works!

24 years later and still the annual ASCB meeting is some of the best science and best reunions of the year. @ascbiology.bsky.social @applewhitederek.bsky.social @omqu.bsky.social @klukasik.bsky.social @chrisho.bsky.social @channyskye.bsky.social

Final #MusahLab publication of 2024 is here, open access! We explore epigenetics in hypertensive nephropathy, a major contributor to kidney disease & rising healthcare cost. Congratulations to PhD students/coauthors Yize Zhang, Hamidreza Arzaghi, Zhehan Ma, & Yasmin Roye! tiny.cc/epigenHN

I had an excellent time !

Blessed with a community of brilliant scientists, pioneering leaders, and committed individuals paving a path for others to follow. May each of you continue to shine brightly; your light is leaving a significant mark.

Screenshot of an instagram post by MPR news that has a photo of Dr. Angeline Dukes smiling with a 30 Under 30 chocolate cake. The headline reads U of M neuroscience assistant professor makes Forbes 30 under 30 list for her work in empowering Black scholars. The post is liked by over 7,000 people.

The Wiley Press dinner at #CellBio2024 was impeccable! Thank you EIC Alexander Hutchinson and @phdgprotein86.bsky.social for bringing us all together for an unforgettable night!

As #BlueSci grows, let’s remember to amplify the voices that are historically suppressed and create inclusive spaces. I’ve created two lists for you to find Black Scientists here:

bsky.app/profile/did:...

bsky.app/profile/did:...

I’m happy to promote more, just comment!

Dr. AJ Hinton, inter-organelle (mitochondria+ER) molecular communication expert, faculty at Vandy, and creator of the 1000 Inspiring Black Scientists list is now on BlueSky @phdgprotein86.bsky.social. Follow for the latest research in his lab and stay inspired!

This #EM_Monday, is the follow-up of something I posted before on the other place. I posted about these axon curling their way into other pre-synapse, forming funny spinules. This was from mouse visual cortex (www.microns-explorer.org), and not super common.

Panel starts at 9:30 am on December 14th in Room 25B

New or incoming faculty? Please come join us for a panel tomorrow at #CellBio2024

It’s in the same room as the Mentoring Keynote, which is sure to be amazing. Come to hear about best mentoring practices and stay for the panel!

@maikbischoff.bsky.social ^^^^^

Love that it’s in the same room as the mentoring keynote 🙌🏾

This looks like a great opportunity to learn key skills from folks who just made this transition #CellBio2024

Congratulations

TEDx talk by an inspiring #MusahLab undergrad researcher and recent Duke BME & CS graduate, Sophia Leeman! She dives into some of our lab's work using stem cell derivatives to engineer patient-specific preclinical models, helping us uncover disease mechanisms and identify new and safe therapeutics.
