I think it's time for us to leave twitter. It was fun and great for science but now it mostly bums me out. So follow us on @youngfroglab.bsky.social and share your exciting findings

Happy to share our recent paper by @eggmaharrison published in DevDyn finding that the forever chemical PFOS causes tumor like mass formations in Xenopus. We also found it's a bad idea to mix PFOS with antibiotics! anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wi…

The shareable link wasn't giving the full article. Anyway, if your are interesting in a novel finding that PFOS has unexpected and adverse interactions with common antibiotics, please check out this study done complete by under graduates! @SimmonsUniv onlinelibrary.wiley.com/shar…

I took this course in 2011 and have been associated with it nearly every year since. It's an amazing opportunity to learn and join one of the greatest communities in science. Apply!
🔔Apply now!🔔 January 22 is the last day to apply to the MBL's 2025 Embryology course! This comprehensive overview of modern developmental biology is open to graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and senior researchers. Learn more: bit.ly/3DKPMjH #ScienceStartsHere

A throwback to summer! The photos of this baby great white shark (released unharmed after being caught in the Gemma net) were some of our most popular pictures of the year. 🦈 📸

Really proud of these two papers led by @JackKucinski and Lex Tallan / collaborative work with my and Ben Stanton’s lab. We wanted to know how PAX3::FOXO1 interfaces with #chromatin in vivo and developed a new #zebrafish model and analytical pipeline to do so. #TeamFishAndChIPs
I’m excited to share our pre-print where we utilize #zebrafish to delineate how PAX3::FOXO1 initially interfaces with and modifies #chromatin in vivo. I’m grateful for the mentorship of @KendallLabNCH and Ben Stanton, and work from amazing co-authors! doi.org/10.1101/2024.07.12.6…

So cool!
Excited to say that it’s preprint time🎉! Here we provide evidence that autism gene variants affect enteric neuron migration and cause gastrointestinal (GI) dysmotility doi.org/10.1101/2024.05.28.5…

Fresh off the press in @evoecology: Frog dads 🐸 establish their territories around high-quality reproductive resources 🪴! With @jamestumulty and @JoGoyes we find that male poison frogs defend territories around #phytotelmata with predictable qualities! (1/n)
