To celebrate our lab’s 2-year anniversary, we tried pottery! We made plates and vases, and discovered that science skills don’t always translate to the pottery wheel 😅. Such a great afternoon with the team!

We came, we inspected, we conquered. 🔍💀🎃 Amargant i Riera Lab = best team costume at #CrepHS Halloween party, as the scariest thing of all: an EHS inspection! #SafetyFirst

The Amargant i Riera lab was at the Upper Midwest Summit for Reproductive Science! Great science & amazing trainees. Andy won Best Oral Presentation for his talk on follicle mechanosensing, and Karen & Sara rocked their posters! #ProudPI

Happy Postdoc Appreciation Week! I want to take a moment to celebrate the two amazing postdocs in my lab: Sara Pietroforte and Sharvari S.S. Deshpande Sara has been such an important part of the lab, bringing talent, creativity, and great energy to everything she does 1/3

Excited to share the first review from our lab! Together with Sara Pietroforte, we explore the idea that, beyond hormonal and biochemical cues, folliculogenesis may also be shaped by mechanical inputs from the ovary. 1/3

Summer internships are wrapping up, and today Karen, Andy, and Ethan presented their research at our CRepHS seminar series. It’s amazing how much they’ve accomplished in just a few weeks, so proud of their hard work and growth! #ProudPI

Thanks @mitodynamics.bsky.social for the fun interview and for saying it like it is: “…JCS and other community journals are being crushed by the mega profit-making journals, which just seem to proliferate and spit out new journals by the day…we must all make an effort to move away from this…”

With the recent changes in the government and new NIH directions, it feels odd to have submitted our lab's first R35 and R01. I guess it's time to celebrate small victories 🙌

I have a wonderful scientist in my lab who is looking to move to Europe. Is anyone looking for a staff scientist? She has a PhD. She is particularly in her element doing field work. Great skills with rodents and very open to non-rodent positions as well. Please send leads, please amplify!

Amazing Northwestern IBiS Alum Teresa Woodruff received the National Medal of Science today at the White House for her trailblazing work in the fields of reproductive health, including spearheading the push for inclusion of females as biological variables in biomedicine. Inspiring #womeninStem

It’s been an honor to present our story on stiffness and folliculogenesis to the mechanobiology institute in Singapore. Thank you Joe Chan for the invitation! Looking forward to more interactions with the mechanobiology community 😊
