We are looking for graduate students to start in the summer or autumn 2026. Open to students with BSc or MSc degrees.
Come explore the maritime region of Canada and do developmental and cellular neuroscience.
Please see attached poster. Appreciate reskeets. #DevBio, #Neuroscience 🧪

For #FluorescenceFridays I thought I’d try something a little different. Below is an artistic blur image of a mouse embryonic spinal cord stained for the expression of Sonic Hedgehog protein (green) in floorplate cells and Tag-1 (red) on commissural crossing axons. Great as a desktop image.

Chalk and Talk day @dalhousie.bsky.social faculty lockout. One of my favourite sidewalk signs. #KeepDalStrong

@dalhousie.bsky.social board of governors continues to stonewall us @dalfaculty.bsky.social. They want limited arbitration, rather than respectfully engage with us to solve issues affecting precariously employed faculty. A crisis of leadership!

Straight from the campsite to my shift to protest @dalhousie.bsky.social faculty lock out. Met a friend at the picket line helping me #keepdalstrong @dalfaculty.bsky.social . Thanks to the students who brought us coffee and snacks!

Clearly the flies have ‘red eye’. They’re likely drunk. Does that make me a Drosophilist now? (I recommend reading the Alt text).
Joking aside, can anyone help me identify the species.

Hey @endofthepier.bsky.social .
Brian Hall was clearing his office bookshelves at Dalhousie and I came across your 'Backbone' book (which he gave me). In the book was a letter detailing Brian flattering review of your book.
(The Berkeley address was Brian's sabbatical post).

That’s a large roach. Canadian loonie for comparison. For non-Canadians, a loonie is not a term for a crazed Canuck (ok, maybe it is), but is a dollar coin with a diameter of 25.5 mm. Folks at UKings should look into this; was on your campus sidewalk!

So, a word of caution: the WntCre2 may not be an ideal Cre driver when exploring the role of your favourite gene in craniofacial innervation.
For #FluorescenceFridays, I’ll include figure 7 from our new paper, showing aberrant Wnt1cre activity in branchiomotor pools #DevBio 🧪

I would send this picture from @virginiasavy.bsky.social previously posted by @socdevbio.bsky.social of a mouse blastocyst showing early lineage specification, and all the potential to become a fully realized complex life form:
