Hallo BS World!
I look forward sharing and discussing with you my science, interests, and curiosity.
In my lab, we study how cellular processes impact early embryogenesis, especially from right after fertilization until blastocyst formation.
We love live 🔬 to study 🐄 embryos.

The Americans are doing to Kseniia what the Russians did to Brittney Griner for having 0.7 grams of cannabis oil. Except no one is coming to negotiate her freedom and Harvard is sitting on their hands. I am so ashamed. Please share this story.

She Worked in a Harvard Lab to Reverse Aging, Until ICE Jailed Her (Gift Article)
President Trump’s immigration crackdown ensnared Kseniia Petrova, a scientist who fled Russia after protesting its invasion of Ukraine. She fears arrest if she is deported there.
