Decided not to go to SfN this year. Mostly because I don’t study neuroscience.

Lab’s 1st preprint!

Menstruation is understudied due to societal taboos + a biological challenge: mice (a key system for research + drug discovery) don’t menstruate.

@cagricevrim.bsky.social made menstruating mice + used them to discover early events in menstruation.

He is on the job market!

Zara Weinberg passed away earlier this week. She joined my lab earlier this year when her postdoc lab formally closed.
She was a brilliant scientist, supportive mentor, dear friend, avid music fan, rabid believer in public transit, open science champion, and above all just an amazing human.

I absolutely love this amazing original piece of art by my student Terry Wu. I missed the adult frog made from lab paper towels the first time I saw it. Such amazing talent and excited to see biology inspiring our students! Thank you Terry!

Thrilled that our preprint on anole oocyte formation is now online @holyanole.bsky.social !
Such a great collaboration merging our expertise in anole reproductive tract morphology and early embryogenesis to understand how egg cells form!

@a-weberling.bsky.social & I characterize oogenesis from initiation in the germinal bed to ovulatory follicles for the first time in the brown anole, a powerful reptile model for evo-devo & functional genetics!

It's good to say this and reinforce that there is no link, but it's just as important to say this:

Even if there were a link between MMR and autism, YOU SHOULD STILL GET VACCINATED! I am autistic and my life is not worse than dying of measles!

Hello world! Today’s officially the first day of the lab! It’s an empty space currently only filled with ideas (that I don’t have card access to yet 😂) but I’m excited for the science that will happen here! -JCG
Photo of Jaye Gardiner, a Black woman with long curly black hair, wearing dark green glasses and a coral colored sleeveless top, holding an iPad with the words “Jaye’s 1st day” written largely. Underneath it’s written “as an assistant professor 9/2/2025” although that doesn’t come out as clear in the photo.
