Excited to share the first part of my dissertation! 🎉 This paper explores how the transition from suckling to chewing impacts cranial growth in an #osteogenesisimperfecta mouse model. So grateful for all the mentorship and support from @rachelmenegaz.bsky.social
How does early life shape craniofacial growth in osteogenesis imperfecta? 🦴 New research reveals key changes during suckling to chewing transitions & the need for early care. Read here: https://buff.ly/3EVuWPi

When in Rome...

The placenta is named after an ancient Roman cheesecake flavored with honey and bay leaves. This recipe is adapted from Cato the Elder's recipe from 160 BC and was a nice treat to eat while discussing placental development in our Embryology seminar today.
