A huge THANK YOU to Robin Lovell-Badge for teaching my class, Sex Differences in Human Disease about the discovery of SRY and the ethics of organoids. they were spellbound..

Congratulations to my PhD student Ike Emerson for showing sex differences in the heart are regulated through X-linked miRNAs and a big thank you to Bill Marzluff!

Crowd Sourcing: Does anyone know an AI platform, preferaably free for a trial, that can generate schematic scientific models or diagrams?

The AI review of grant applications is incredibly realistic! Each time I put word-for-word the same grant in AI, I get completely differrnt scores and critiques.

Happy to be on Bluesky! Our lab is fascinated by how the brain develops, how this goes awry in disease, and this is co-opted in evolution. A major focus is dynamic spatial and temporal #RNA control in the developing brain.
Please see our new review on evolution!
