🧑🏼‍🔬🪱🧬 Chromatin organization and tissue specificity & micro-plastic exposure. StMU (via SSU, UOP, JHUSOM, FMI). Views are my own. Kid and dog mom. 🐾🐕
🎉 New research!

Microplastics don’t just pollute; they carry harmful chemicals. In #Celegans, this combo reduced lifespan & reproduction.

This study was led almost entirely by undergraduate researchers at StMU 💙💛

“Approach difficult conversations with empathy.”

Important words from Crystal Rogers at #worm25

I’m feeling hopeful and inspired at Pamela Padilla’s #worm25 talk.

We have work to do. We should be kind while doing it.

Yes, same from Sigma-Aldrich. I was surprised/ not surprised when I made this purchase last week.

Last week St. Mary's University hosted the 2025 Research Showcase.

Students from my group shared their projects on microplastic toxicity with posters and oral presentations. They have accomplished so much and it was great to see them shine.

THIS is what scientists look like!

It’s homecoming week at St. Mary’s and my research group went all out to decorate the lab door. I love their creativity.

The future of science is still bright.

Im so proud of Chiara Maldonado for winning a poster award at #ABRCMS2024. She’s a force in the lab & great scientist.

Keep an eye out for her, she’s looking for summer research positions and PhD programs in the near future- she’s going places! 🤩
