I've added a new plant to my work space. Her name is Margo. She's a little sassy and judgmental 💅, but also fiercely encouraging 💪

Congratulations to Dr. Nic Janto, who defended his PhD in the GMB Program at Emory earlier this week! Nic is headed off to postdoc with Edan Foley at The University of Bath. It’s the end of an era for the lab, but very excited to follow Nic’s journey into zebrafish models of intestinal biology! 🐟

Science has published a letter I helped write, as part of Advancing Queer & Trans Equity in Science (AQTES), about why it's important for universities & other institutions to protect trans and gender-nonconforming scientists, and some practical things they can do. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Protect transgender scientists
Transgender and gender nonconforming (TGnC) people are a primary target of the Trump administration. Multiple executive orders seek to erase TGnC protections; mandate denial of gender identity; and ba...

As good an opportunity as any to introduce myself over here! I'm a queer nonbinary trans man from Atlanta working towards my PhD in chromatin regulation of cell identity in the intestinal epithelium. I'm also a devoted cat dad and the captain of an all-trans adult recreational kickball team!
