My lab and I had the pleasure recently of being involved with a piece by the Children’s Hospital Association (@hospitals4kids) on the importance of investing in pediatric medical research. You can check it out here! youtu.be/NmNIgpVddNU #MomentsMadePossible

Pls Repost: I am putting together an edition of β€œMethods in Molecular Biology” focused on early development, encompassing gastrulation. I am making a list of potential authors for chapters. If interested, please contact me - An excellent opportunity for trainees to co-author with their advisors.

I think I’ve been asked this question maybe only twice (and it’s obviously not about me), but each time I’ve just been left wondering β€˜what does that mean for what you think about me and my ethics, then?’

Could not overstate how pleased I would be to go β€˜out of business’ as a pediatric oncologist because of a cure for cancer.
