Thrilled to announce that @BlairBenhamPyle has been named an NIH New Innovator! This support from the @NIH_CommonFund is so meaningful and we can’t wait to share the resulting science with you!
I’m so excited to join this fantastic group of early career scientists!
Big shoutout to my @bcmhouston neighbors @HongjieLi5 and @BoeynaemsSteven, my fellow @Planaria1 lab alum @longhua_guo, and my former @stanfordcbio classmate @dianyang1117!

First @BenhamPyleLab retreat is in the books! After a day of lab brainstorming we got to enjoy some much deserved relaxation… tie dye lab coats, glass painting, brunch at Lucille’s, and an afternoon at the Houston Museum of Natural Science!

This #FlatwormFriday @BlairBenhamPyle talked to the theater audience @recroomhtx about what we can learn about cloning and nature vs. nurture from planaria!

Tonight I had a great time participating in forum night @recroomhtx! What do biology, psychotherapy, and theater have in common? We found out with their performance of A Number (playing through Feb 25) & great discussion on cloning, identity, ethics, and human relationships.

It’s #FlatwormFriday and we celebrated the commissioning of our planarian aquatic environment! This multi-tiered flowing river will house our growing animal colony starting (fingers-crossed) next week! Wish the sentinel planaria good luck and good health :)

It’s the second #FlatwormFriday of 2023 and it was Liver Day! The @BenhamPyleLab processed fresh beef liver home grown in Texas to feed the planarian colony and support our future RNAi screens. 30 lbs of liver in six hours… capped off with a team pizza party :)

For the first lab meeting of the year @BlairBenhamPyle was inspired by her fellow #NewPIs to do a state of the lab talk! Biggest highlight of 2022 were the transformation of the planarian vivarium (aquatics are in!) and the lab's first RNAi/in situ screen. Can't wait for 2023!
