A wonderful way to end the week with the first Thyme lab dissertation defense. Congrats, Dr. Ari Ginsparg. What a great presentation! And thanks to UMass Chan Biochemistry and Molecular Biotechnology for making Ari a part of this community over the past three years. @umasschan-bmb.bsky.social

May is Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) Awareness Month, which are heritable connective tissues disorders mainly characterized by unusually flexible joints, stretchy skin, & easy bruising 🦓 Due to their high genetic similarities with humans, #zebrafish are prime models to study the etiology of EDS. 1/3

I'm pleased to share our newest preprint, which was actually the very first project started in my lab. It took a long time to come together! We address the challenge of translating complex psychiatric genetics into biological mechanism. tinyurl.com/4w7hv8d8

The busiest year of my life - moving 3 kids < 5 and a lab - has come to an exciting close,  personally and professionally. We moved into our new home two days before Christmas and just finished a new #zebrafish paper www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

If Pierogi the cat has a special talent, it's tucking herself into bed like a human despite not having opposable thumbs.

I accidentally kicked Pierogi in my bed and she yelped and ran away so I followed her to apologize and she led me to the cat treats
