Back on trampoline to practice flipping again after injured my knees at parkour speed practice (first right, then left 😂). Couldn’t even squat down or climb stairs for over six weeks. And Rex’s back flip is almost in its complete form!

SDB President-elect Richard Behringer and SDB President Carole LaBonne published an opinion piece in The Hill on how President Trump's executive order entitled "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government" ignores science. bit.ly/41OM694

Universities across the U.S. freeze hiring as federal funding hangs in the balance With uncertainties around federal funding for higher education, some schools are cutting back. Experts say that could hurt not only students and faculty, but ultimately make the U.S. less competitive.

Up until now, I haven't marked study sections not meeting unless listed on CSR. Now that I can't trust CSR, I will be marking based on personal communication (highlighted orange). If you were scheduled to be on a SS this March and know it's not meeting, reach out! I will keep my informants anonymous

It's #RareDiseaseDay! 🧬
Rare diseases impact millions, yet many remain poorly understood. On this day, we recognize the power of research.

Together, we can accelerate progress! 💜

E10.5 mouse embryo within yolk sac imaged with Iodine-contrasted microCT.

My office PC can’t even finish its sentence…

Seriously @Apple???
Took my iPhone in to get front screen repaired tonight. Noticed immediately after picking it up something was not right…
Turns out the new front screen/glass was not inserted completely and it is making popping noice and is thicker than how it supposed to be.

One of my proudest academic CV worthy achievement in 2022!

HOW YOU DOIN?

What if… we can clear a de-skinned mouse head???

The @bcmhouston Knockout Mouse Project Embryonic Lethal team has used iodine-contrasted microCT to image and phenotype over 4,500 mouse embryos across 350+ lines for the past 8 years. Can you spot any abnormalities? @IMPC #OiVM

Amazing weekend at Austin for #SWSDB2022 @SocDevBio!
Whenever we are in town, need to stop by @AmysIceCreams with kids 😄!

This is what happened when you lost power on Halloween and your son decided to do pull ups on tower hangers…

#microCT imaging of a bat embryo is perfect for #Spooky #Halloween

Woo… look at that skeleton… spooky🎃

Mouse hind limb, de-skinned and cleared with #EZClear, no decalcification.

Was asked if #EZClear can clear bone and cartilage, for some reason I decided to try on a whole de-skinned hind limb, but now it is sticking out of the bottle and waving at me… 😩😩😩

Oh Halloween is next week, then this is probably fine.

Having fun with the mouse brain processed with #EZClear. Who would like to have their whisky on the rocks with a cleared brain inside 😁😆?
Happy #FluorescenceFriday!

Time management is a gift.

When your cat is competing/pretending to be a mouse:
It is #Caturday somewhere anyway.

Lache? Can’t even pull myself up anymore 😅…

Wonder how long will it take to get myself in shape again?

“Borrowed” my daughter’s resin kit and made some “cleared” brain. These were from reverse molds made from #EZClear cleared mouse brains with Sylgard. Who wants a keychain?

It is my privilege to collaborate with @wythelab and a group of talented scientists in the Dickinson Lab and @jasonmileskirk @Cerda3Juan @CarolusTikakuna! I had a lot of fun working with all of you (4/4)!

If you have done tissue clearing in the past, or is going to do it for your research, definitely give it a try! No special equipment is required, and it is as EZ as 1-2-3 (3/4)!

Found this old image while organizing my Dropbox folder. Bone marrow derived macrophages (green) co-cultured with neuro stem cells (red). Happy early #FluorescenceFriday!

Just submitted my comments to an invited manuscript review, and after I checked the cross-referee system of other reviewers’ comments, I realized I just became the third reviewer we all hate 😱🤣🤷🏻‍♂️

Do people pay attention to Scopus H-index?

Today’s soothing music for me…
