A huge congratulations to the newly minted Dr. Anish Bose @anishbose.bsky.social on a fantastic thesis defense!! What a great day! A toast to Zelda, Forkhead, the exit from regeneration, and all the mysteries we haven’t yet solved.

Great departmental retreat! Awards for Connor and Snigdha, plus tug-of-war to wake up between talks. Tagging @snigdhamathure.bsky.social and @cpowers141.bsky.social

Continuing efforts to hurt the research pipeline, the very late NSF GFRP solicitation no longer allows 2nd year PhD students to apply. Lots of these students chose not to apply last year because they were told they would have a better change once in their thesis lab www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...

Huge congratulations to Anish Bose @anishbose.bsky.social for winning the Development talk award at the International Society for Regenerative Biology meeting!! Presented by Elly Tanaka.
