This is Alex Pretti.
This morning he was murdered by ICE. Six ICE agents held him down and shot him at point blank range. Alex was a nurse and researcher at the VA.
Our thoughts are with his loved ones and we stand united in action calling for the abolishment of ICE.

You know the thesis defense prep is getting to you when even your clay work ends up being Ciona motor neurons.

And... it's live! In situ hybridization has been foundational for sea urchin developmental biology. Here we report a fully automated method to probe more than a hundred genes using a general purpose liquid handler.https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.03.23.644641v1
