Congratulations to Katie Vaeth, a co-mentored PhD student in my and Matt Taliaferro's labs, with successful defense of her PhD. She has done a phenomenal and trailblazing work on the role of RNA targeting to the midbody during cell division. Job well done Dr. Katie Vaeth!

It was a real pleasure to host Daniele Menjivar in my lab as part of CREU program (cancer research experience for undergraduates). It is such a breath of fresh air to be involved in mentoring new generation of scientists, especially in current anti-science environment.

Off to EMBO cell polarity meeting in San Feliu de Guixol. But first, will spend a day in Barcelona. This is one of my favorite microbreweries there

Tomatoe and pepper seedlings are ready to go in the ground! If you live in Colorado and interested in unique varieties of peppers and tomatoes, send me a message. We have over 30 varieties that you will not find in stores.

The best way to recover from all the nonsense in last couple weeks is to have lunch near fire pit. 65F temperature and sun also helps.

Colorado “painted” horses. Get to see them every time I go on the run with my dogs.

It’s always fun to have a lunch with great scientists in my lab. This time around we are celebrating the successful visit to my lab by Revathi Sampath (all the way in the back) the visiting graduate student from Lithuanian University of Health Sciences)
