Reproductive biologist studying how eggs are made
At FIR we love eggs and fertilization- worm or mouse!

Busy FIR days at the @mblscience.bsky.social. At the end of last week FIRbees learned how to collect and inject follicles and oocytes and experienced the beautiful diversity of marine reproductive biology strategies.

Last night the FIRbees at the @mblscience.bsky.social did a hands on activity to learn about how the Retinoic Acid wave controls spermatogenesis and how that impacts tubule staging. Such a cool and powerful activity from Beth Snyder- @rnaisthenewdna.bsky.social!

Section 2 of Frontiers in Reproduction @mblscience.bsky.social has started! FIRbees learned how to prep single cell suspensions from testes with Brian Hermann and sperm capacitation with @marianobuffone.bsky.social. Thanks to @10xGenomics and @Hamilton Thorne for tech support!

I'm up at the MBL to kick off Section 2 of Frontiers in Reproduction tonight. Missing Mother's Day with my kiddos, but my amazing husband did interviews with them to send me. This one had me in tears. He gets what we do and he's only 11.

Sharing some oocyte spindle love-an image taken by PhD student Phia Maddocks. This beautiful work is supported by our NIH funding. Without this funding, we cannot understand the complexities of fertility genetics. With declining fertility rates, this work is essential to human health.

If you are interested in learning more about the MBL Frontiers in Reproduction course, consider zooming into our info sessions. The first one is tomorrow morning.
