And second - our postdoc Tong Yang has been accepted into the WashU Center of Regenerative Medicine’s Distinguished Postdoctoral Scholars Program - aimed at training tomorrow's leaders in regenerative medicine. Well done, Tong!! Go team!

I will be at ORS @orssociety.bsky.social in Phoenix this week - so if you’re there too, I would love to catch up!

And we are hiring at all levels! If you are passionate about any of the following, please get in touch — tissue crosstalk, arthritis, immunology, fat, macrophages, fibroblasts, multi-omics, Wnt signaling, gene regulation, and much more… www.jointcrosstalk.com

I am so grateful for my time at Michigan, especially the phenomenal mentorship of Tristan Maerz and Kurt Hankenson. Leaving will be bittersweet, but I am very excited to start my next chapter alongside incredible colleagues at WashU.
