Happy to share that this year’s OSU Biology Graduate Student Symposium (BGSS) was a success! Thanks to everyone that helped put this together and the hundred people in attendance! @osubpp.bsky.social @osuscience.bsky.social @bb-osu.bsky.social

Congrats to my honors student mentee Carla on a great defense! Always rewarding to see students grow into confident scientists. Excited to see where she goes next!

Update: I am definitely hiring 2 PhD students; preference to those who can start spring 2027, but reach out if you’re looking to start in Fall 27. Want to start earlier? Reach out and we can talk about technician positions starting as early as this summer.

The cool part of microscopy is that even when you don't get good data, you can still get cool images. Aphid embryos labeled with DAPI, antibody and WGA. Imaged on an epifluorescence scope.
