Big congrats to our postdoc @mary-flores.bsky.social, who's among the 2025 Pew Latin American Fellows! 🐟🧬🫀🧪 Onwards, always. #PewLatinAmericanFellows #zebrafish #PILife #PostdocLife #devbio @cudevbio.bsky.social

Congratulations to Dr. Katie Ranard, postdoctoral fellow in the @bruceappel.bsky.social lab, on receiving a NINDS K99/R00 award for her proposal entitled, “Impact of nutritional status on mechanisms guiding brain development”! @cupediatrics.bsky.social #zebrafish #devbio

Congratulations to Sheila Gupta, MSTP and Molecular Biology grad student and member of the @bruceappel.bsky.social lab, on her new NRSA F31 fellowship entitled “Axon selection for myelination by excitatory postsynaptic factors”! #devbio #zebrafish @cupediatrics.bsky.social

Congrats! Great to see some good news!

Meet Dr. Emily Bates! Dr. Bates studies how cells communicate to form our face and brain. She is a curious scientist who loves mentoring students and is passionate about music and outdoor activities! @cupediatrics.bsky.social @cudevbio.bsky.social @emilybateslab.bsky.social

Another outstanding thesis defense seminar from the @thefrancolab.bsky.social lab! Maddie Mason led an important new research direction on the origins of glioma- beautiful, creative, and impactful work! @cupediatrics.bsky.social @cuanschutz.bsky.social

Congratulations to our very own @jenmckey.bsky.social for winning the Outstanding Mentorship Award and Lily Folts for winning the Outstanding Community Service Award at the Annual WiSTEM Symposium! @cuanschutz.bsky.social @cudevbio.bsky.social 🤩⭐🔬 We're s'proud of all their hard work!

One of our stars defended today! Dr. @luulitran.bsky.social from the @thefrancolab.bsky.social lab gave a stellar seminar describing her deep, insightful, and highly productive investigations of the neuron-glia switch. #devbio @cupediatrics.bsky.social @cuanschutz.bsky.social

Great to see this well-deserved recognition for our friends!

Great to see collaborations such as this "develop" between the Section of Developmental Biology @cupediatrics.bsky.social @cuanschutz.bsky.social and our friends @colorado.edu. Looking forward to many more!

Congratulations to Dr. Peter Dempsey, Professor in the Section of Developmental Biology, for recieving the 2025 Pediatric Gastroenterology & Developmental Biology Section Research Mentor Award from the American Gastroenterological Association! #devbio 🧪

We are so proud of Dr. Moran! It was a privilege to have her as our friend and colleague. We are excited to see what she accomplishes next!

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 🧪
