I highly recommend the Frontiers in Reproduction course to graduate students, postdocs, and clinical fellows to learn Reproductive Biology in beautiful Woods Hole @mblscience.bsky.social Two information sessions coming up. The first one is tomorrow.

Meet Cristina, the current McKey Lab rotation student! Cristina's rotation project is focused on understanding ovary morphogenesis during early development. Outside of the lab she like thrifting, trying new coffee spots, and being outside! 🌳☕️🛍️🔬

Mentoring is the most important thing most of us can do. Here is a 🧵about what I've learned as a PI running an academic research lab. I hope some of the advice is helpful to those who are just starting their labs and to folks hitting the academic job market in search of an independent position 🧪 1/n
