Happy fluorescence Friday! Look at the amazing reproductive tract image Courtney, McKey Lab PRA, took! 🤩

Just received a wonderful Christmas gift from the NIH! $2.76M to study molecular & cellular changes in the human brain across the menopausal transition! 🎉 Am icredibly excited! We will be hiring 2 postdocs — come join us in NYC for some cool science, as we transform women’s mental health research!!

I highly recommend the Frontiers in Reproduction course to graduate students, postdocs, and clinical fellows to learn Reproductive Biology in beautiful Woods Hole @mblscience.bsky.social Two information sessions coming up. The first one is tomorrow.

Meet Cristina, the current McKey Lab rotation student! Cristina's rotation project is focused on understanding ovary morphogenesis during early development. Outside of the lab she like thrifting, trying new coffee spots, and being outside! 🌳☕️🛍️🔬

Excited to announce that our 2025 Advanced Research Training Course schedule is up and applications are open! 🎉🎉🎉 See you in Woods Hole! mbl.edu/courses 🧪🐙🦑🧠🐟

Mentoring is the most important thing most of us can do. Here is a 🧵about what I've learned as a PI running an academic research lab. I hope some of the advice is helpful to those who are just starting their labs and to folks hitting the academic job market in search of an independent position 🧪 1/n

Hi all, the McKey Lab here! Excited to be joining BlueSky! Stay tuned for all things related to reproduction, dev bio, ovary morphogenesis, mentoring, and so much more! From left to right: Lily (grad student), Courtney (PRA), Anthony (lab manager), Jen (Lab PI), & Jenn (postdoc) 🔬🥼🧬
