Cell and Developmental Biologist @ St. Jude Children's Research Hospital - 🦔 signaling in 🧠🫀&🫁 - science 🧪, academia, DevBio research, mentoring, scicomm, 🔬, birds 🪶, hikes - fueled by ☕ & 🧘🏼♀️ - Y’all means all - Views my own and not SJCRH's
Enjoyed meeting some of the new @stjuderesearch.bsky.social grad students at the meet and greet faculty poster session! Here I am trying to convince some of the new students that Hedgehog signaling is the coolest pathway to study 😎 🧪 👩🏼🔬
Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Following up on last week's theme of giving our 🔬 the Warhol treatment, here is a collage of an image of 🫁 cells labeled using the Confetti lineage tracer. From @christinaadaly.bsky.social 🧪 #DevBio 👩🔬 #SciArt
Congratulations to former Ogden Lab Researcher @homchristopher.bsky.social for getting into the MD program at the Medical College of Wisconsin! 🧪 🥼
Weekend update: This “good” girl went to a meet and greet at the humane society to be introduced to a potential little brother/friend. She acted like a total buffoon, so is still without a sibling. We’re trying to meet him again later this week 🤞🏼 🐕
Happy #FluorescenceFriday! This is a Warhol (or Whirlhol 😉) inspired montage of a micrograph of cardiac tissue from a P3 🐭. The image shows SHH-producing cells in a whirl pattern across the 🫀 (lower left to upper right). 🔬 by @christinaadaly.bsky.social #DevBio 🧪 👩🔬
Dr. Hack is now FUNDED! Congratulations to @stjuderesearch.bsky.social postdoc Sam Hack on receiving her F32! Enjoy those party donuts! 🎉 🧪 👩🔬
Happy #MicroscopyMonday! This movie shows the ZPA of a 🐭 limb bud. Cells expressing SHH are labeled 🌈. Notice the dynamic signaling protrusions extending from SHH-expressing ZPA cells - so cool! Membranes of cells not expressing SHH are 🔵 🧪 🔬 👩🔬 #DevBio #SciArt Credit: @christinaadaly.bsky.social
Happy Birthday to postdoc @rojalinpr.bsky.social! Here’s to hoping the lab BD tiara and cape work their data magic! 🪄
My submission for the #BirdOfTheDay theme #cutie - a wee ovenbird perched on our fence. Taken in Memphis, TN last spring. 🪶
I have missed the last few #FluorescentFriday postings - so I'm posting on a Tuesday! These are Shh-expressing cells in a developing 🐭 limb bud. We think their long membrane protrusions facilitate intercellular communication. Image by postdoc @christinaadaly.bsky.social 🧪 👩🔬 #DevBio #WomeninSTEM
My submission for #TalonTuesday - a red-tailed hawk perched on a sign 🪶 Photographed at Shelby Farms Park in Memphis, TN
Congratulations to Dr. Christina Daly @christinaadaly.bsky.social - PhD hooding ceremony today @stjuderesearch.bsky.social Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences! 🧪 👩🏻🔬
My submission for the #birdoftheday theme #LookingAtYou - this yellow-breasted chat has had it with my nonsense. 😆 🪶
Memorial Day birding highlights 🪶 1. White-faced ibis (or glossy - but I’m leaning toward white-faced) 💟 2. Yellow-breasted chat 💛 3. Blue grosbeak 💙🧡 4. Indigo bunting 💜🖤 Photos taken at Ensley Bottoms in Memphis, TN.
When the revised draft is *finally* ready to go back to the collaborators 🧪 🍾
The @jcellsci.bsky.social #JCSImaging meeting was fantastic! Great talks and a wonderful imaging community! Shout out to postdocs @christinaadaly.bsky.social and Sam Hack for presenting their work!
Happy #FluorescenceFriday! This is a cross section of a developing 🐭neural tube showing apical primary cilia on cells lining the lumen. Arl13b is green, gamma tubulin is red, DAPI is blue #DevBio #DevNeuro 🧪 🔬
Happy #FluorescenceFriday! This is a confocal 🔬 series of a developing 🐭 spinal cord showing nuclei, actin, and cellular membrane stains colored in 🌈 Microscopy by postdoc @christinaadaly.bsky.social 👩🔬 🧪
Here is a submission for #tricolor #birdoftheday - black bellied whistling ducks in Memphis, TN. Their coloring makes me think of a cappuccino 😍 🪶
Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Here is a micrograph of a section of a neonatal 🐭🫁 showing showing cilia in 🟡 and nuclei in 🔵. Cilia are marked by the protein Arl13b. 🔬 by postdoctoral fellow Sam Hack 👩🔬 🧪
Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Here is a mouse fibroblast with multiple thin membrane extensions reaching out toward its neighbors. The long (>10 um) extensions are a type of signaling filopodia called #cytonemes that transport signals like SHH, WNT, Notch, and GFs! 🔬 by Senior Scientist Hong Lin. 🧪 👩🔬
Celebrating 1) a review article being provisionally accepted 2) @christinaadaly.bsky.social getting her first author research paper submitted, and 3) The International Day of Women and Girls in Science! 🎉 Woo hoo! 🧪
