The Dept was well represented at the Rocky Mountain RNA Symposium today! Congratulations to student Camille Goo and postdoc @ecbrooks96.bsky.social on their poster awards and students Cassie Minne and @graceinsci.bsky.social on their honorable mentions. @wattlab.bsky.social @fantauzzolab.bsky.social

The Nichols Lab isn't very present on BlueSky yet, but check out our recent paper on a dorsal and anal fin mutant that unlocked our lab's recent interest in limb development: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

journals.biologists.com

The sclerotome is the source of the dorsal and anal fin skeleton and its expansion is required for median fin development

Summary: The sclerotome, an embryonic structure within the somites, is the source of median fin cells and is reduced in smoothback mutant embryos, which do not form dorsal fins as adults.

JP Martin, grad student in @thefrancolab.bsky.social lab, is about to tell us how he proposes to discover mechanisms that drove human brain evolution for his thesis research! Stay tuned for the answer- in about 3 years when he defends!
