Latest paper from the lab in which we examine calcium dynamics in tissue-resident macrophages of the skin is now online at MBoC @ASCBiology ... Congratulations to Pearl (1st first-author paper) and @errricpeterman (1st senior-author paper)!

Many thanks to the LEO Foundation (@LEOFondet) for supporting our work on the cell biology of skin immune cells!
The LEO Foundation awards DKK 44 million to 12 pioneering skin research projects. Dive into the projects of three of our grantees – @Ole_B_Pedersen, Rebecca Deprez-Poulain and @WeiTaoLab – and get an overview of all 12 projects 👉 leo-foundation.org/en/2024/0…

Thanks for the amazing visit to @RiceUniversity @gliainmymind Looking forward to all the great things to come from your lab!
So excited to host @jraslab @RiceUniversity next week! The fantastic aquatic models community in Houston is looking forward to Jeff’s visit and learning about skin regeneration in zebrafish!

Go ahead and vote for the gorgeous @DMM_Journal cover image of #zebrafish epidermal nerves and immune cells from @errricpeterman 👇👀
And now, it's time to pick the absolute winner of #DMMcover23! The finalists are 😍!

Never underestimate the mood-elevating power of a totally unexpected, unsolicited word of sincere praise for someone who might need it than they even realize. It could be a paper you read, a talk you attended, a podcast you listened to. Write a short note. Make their day.

Latest preprint from the lab! Our work implicates ROCK signaling as a key modulator of Langerhans cell morphology, dynamics, and plasticity in response to various types of skin damage. Check out @errricpeterman’s movie of Lifeact-GFP in a Langerhans cell 👇biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

I am honored to have been selected as a 2023 Searle Scholar! On a related note, we are looking to recruit a postdoc and/or grad student. If you're interested in studying cell type evolution in annual killifish, please email me (contact information at abitua.org).

Hey Twitterverse! Are you considering a postdoc in academia? Are you excited about RNA and nuclear architecture? Do you want to use and/or develop cutting-edge genomics tools? And maybe find new therapies for heart disease and cancer? If so, might I humbly suggest... SheqLab? 1/

Fun talk on tube formation from @claudiaraudia "What does it mean to be a lumen of an MDCK cell?" I've also wondered about this in a past life @nwdb2023
