Such a proud PI moment to have the 1st graduate student in my lab defend and earn her PhD!! Dr. Valeria Rangel is going to take the world by storm, so watch out for her 💪👩‍🔬🧬🧪

Welcome to the winning intersection where everything we need for the lab costs more and we have less funding to buy it. Totally sustainable 🧐

The cast and crew of Pannunzio Lab season 6! Despite everything going on we continue to grow and be productive. Their excitement about science is contagious. These are the people that keep me coming in every day 💪🫀🧬

Yes, same. It got me curious enough to look up the origin.

Feeling so liberated! Liberated from money...liberated from science...liberated from the Bill of Rights...

Another highlight here is that our indirects (25-40% where?!) go to a slush fund that we can use for whatever we want...

Two generations of graduate students! Final year Valeria Rangel and 1st year Alejandra Aguilar Quintero present their poster @keystonesymposia.bsky.social on Precision Oncology in Breckenridge, CO. Next order of business: snowman ☃️

So great to present our work on disparities in Ph-like ALL and on genome dataset diversity @keystonesymposia.bsky.social on Precision Medicine! Many thanks to organizers John Carpten, Chanita Hughes Halbert, and David Solit!

My lab gave me a No button for the holidays. Press it and it says "No" in several ways. An essential tool for any pre-tenure faculty 🤣😅

Ahhh...the lab...things always get crazy around the holidays. For context, we had to make a dessert from India for our departmental holiday party, and this was apparently the appropriate picture to put next to it 😅🎄☃️

2nd year PhD student Victoria Shen's 1st ever poster presentation is officially in the books 🥳💪 🤩 More great work to come from her! Thanks to the @ucirvine.bsky.social Institute for Immunology for the T32 support.

BlueArk seemed to work ok. Seems many of the old X/Twit posts weren't able to be migrated, but better than nothing. Had to go back and hand rescue this gem from dark skies though:

Entire lab came today dressed as Pitbull. These people are amazing and make everyday worth coming in 😹

Happy Halloween y'all 🎃🐈‍⬛

I do not like spiders...not even a bit. Still I am in awe of what they can do and, to be honest, they saved us the trouble of decorating for Halloween

I just can't get enough of watching these beautiful caterpillars munch away at this milkweed. It's comforting to watch nature do its thing no matter what else is going on 🥲🦋
