✨ Looking forward to hearing from Paul Trainor at #2026SDB in Las Vegas! Paul’s work at the Stowers Institute on neural crest development in mammals (sometimes fish and chameleons) has helped bring attention to understudied craniofacial conditions. 🔬 #devbio #Stowers25

Thrilled to be featured on the cover of @devdynamics.bsky.social highlighting our 2 anole studies published: anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... & anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... Thanks so much @thomsanger.bsky.social for hosting me when I took this image!

Thrilled that our paper on anole oogenesis & germinal bed morphology is now published following peer review. Mammals & birds have finite egg cells - squamates however have a stem cell niche within the ovary - the germinal bed. Such a great collaboration with co-first author @holyanole.bsky.social

Incredibly proud and happy to announce the publication of my first German novel "Leopold - the boy at the lake" @ Wichern Verlag Berlin. A story exploring the question of what to do when you can hear and see memories - how to learn to live with them and not drown. www.wichern.de/produkt/leop...

Through confocal imaging we describe basement membrane deposition in the ovary during folliculogenesis. We can report a double basement membrane deposited on either side of the granulosa cell layer surrounding the follicles.

Exploring the sub-cellular architecture of the germinal bed & stage II follicles, we could analyse the granulosa (g) and theca (th) cell layers surrounding stage II follicles. Primordial follicles (pf) start exhibiting enlarged nuclei and cytoplasm!

Oogenesis takes place in 10 stages. It starts in the oogonial nest - a mitotic stem cell niche within the germinal bed - which then undergo meiosis to form primordial follicles We identified oogonia and primordial follicles using section H&E staining paired with confocal DAPI/WGA staining!

1/6 New Preprint Reptiles comprise ~23,000 species with an incredible range of diversity. The basis is laid during embryogenesis but is severely understudied. We study the brown anole, a model for evolutional studies & describe its early embryogenesis for the first time: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...
