Great to have the opportunity to visit my second home, Brighton ☀️, revisit so many happy memories, and catch up with former labmates and friends from my PhD days at @labneale.bsky.social @gdsc-sussex.bsky.social. It was wonderful to see you all—I hope our paths cross again soon!

Officially my last day at UC Davis! Thanks @hunterlab.bsky.social for the opportunity to contribute to this amazing field, and thanks to everyone in the lab for all the support and shared knowledge over the past few years. California has definitely been a huge adventure that changed me.

Inspired by the QB3 Symposium on the ovarian pacemaker. A strong reminder of how much work remains in women’s health. Excited to be part of this scientific movement to advance our understanding of the remarkable female body. >>Best takeaway: “We can’t build what we can’t understand” —by Amanda Clark

Always nice to have a different and fresh perspective! Thanks very much Dr Francesca Duncan, @nuduncanlab.bsky.social, for your visit and your amazing feedback. Hopefully the first of many meetings between UCD and NU/Buck! #ovarianbiology #oocyte #collaborativeScience

After a long incubation, it is a huge pleasure to finally share the work of @luzmlopez.bsky.social, Jon Harper and their coauthors: "Localised negative feedback shapes genome-wide patterning of meiotic DNA breaks". @gdsc-sussex.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Milestone achieved! It’s a big day when, after a year and a half of giving your all to master a complex technique, you finally achieve some consistency! Definitely a very happy feeling! 🤩 Image: MI oocyte spreads ; blue = DAPI ; red = CREST
