I am thrilled to be leading a new institute funded by NSF and Simons Foundation. It is called the National Institute for Theory and Mathematics in Biology or NITMB. Check it out a nitmb.org and @nitmb_ to learn more!
Mark and I overlapped in the Rubin lab - his bench faced mine. He was funny and knew so many different things. He made the lab a richer and more meaningful place. I am so sorry for his passing....
🔸 Congratulations to @CDB_Illinois Professors Xin Li and Rachel Smith-Bolton, who have received named scholar positions for their contributions to research, education, and the academic mission of the @LASillinois!

In case you missed the eLife preprint, our formatted paper is now out in eLife (elifesciences.org/articles/7…). It describes how a mechanochemical process generates the regular lattice pattern of photoreceptor neuron clusters in the fly eye.
This biographical article came out five years ago about a hero of mine - Nancy Hopkins. I knew her when I was a student at MIT, and she applied her singular wit and grace to right injustices back then as she continues doing so now. technologyreview.com/2017/08…
Congratulations to Hernan Garcia @HernanGGarcia of @UCBerkeley on receiving the SDB 2022 Elizabeth D. Hay New Investigator Award for his pioneering use of quantitative imaging methods to gain new insights into mechanisms of gene regulation. bit.ly/3IgRMx4
Our paper is now out in eLife - topic? A mechanochemical process that generates the regular triangular grid of photoreceptor clusters in the compound eye. It reinforces for me the importance of imaging the dynamics of a system as it lives.
Congratulations to Natalie Gilbert Gonzaga-Saavedra on being the recipient of the 2020-2021 ISO/IBiS Excellence in Leadership and Engagement Award. This award recognizes the outstanding and numerous contributions Natalie has made to support diversity within IBiS and Northwestern!
