Thank you 🥰

A special thanks to all the C. elegans embryos for spilling their secrets. It has been a joy to watch development unfold and piece together how different actin-binding proteins contribute. There is still so much to learn, and I am eager to keep investigating and reporting back.

Shoutout to Ella, Jadyn, and April, three outstanding undergraduate researchers who worked alongside Taylor and me. I am so thrilled that this marks your first scientific publication!

Thanks to Taylor @tmedwigkinney.bsky.social for sharing invaluable expertise in imaging, data quantification and project management, and for always being an incredibly supportive mentor/friend.

Thanks to Bob for guiding me through every aspect of this process – not just in experimental design, data interpretation, and writing, but also in navigating setbacks, failure, and perfectionism.
