Meet the author! Lily Folts, a graduate student in the @jenmckey.bsky.social lab, just published her manuscript detailing a deep-learning-based method to count and classify ovarian follicles called OoCount. When Lily isn't in the lab, she likes to hike, read, and listen to live music.

With a PhD in Nutrional Science from the University of Illinois, Katie aims to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms linking poor maternal nutrition to impaired brain development and function. Katie is an avid weight lifter and hiker, and she paints really cool designs on her shoes!

JP Martin, grad student in @thefrancolab.bsky.social lab, is about to tell us how he proposes to discover mechanisms that drove human brain evolution for his thesis research! Stay tuned for the answer- in about 3 years when he defends!

Postdoc Austin Adkins noticed that mutant zebrafish he had inherited behaved oddly in their tanks. So he turned them into a new research project. Great demonstration of serendipity and creativity at today's Dev Bio Section meeting. #devbio #zebrafish πŸ§ͺ
