Working with #zebrafish you might expect us all to be from the Water Tribe, but representatives from all nations of the world of #Avatarthelastairbender turned out to represent the Smeeton lab at our Columbia Stem Cell Hallowe'en party this year!

🍾🧪The end of an era! Today we said so long to Dr. Troy Anderson. Troy was the very first person to join me in the Smeeton lab. He just defended his PhD and is off to start his postdoc next month. We will miss you Troy!! #proudPI @troy-anderson.bsky.social #zebrafish

Heading back to NYC full of fresh ideas and new questions to explore after a wonderful visit with the fantastic faculty and trainees @cuanschutz.bsky.social Thanks again for the invitation to share our work on craniofacial joint regeneration!

🎉 Today we said farewell to our lab's first undergraduate researcher, Eric Mao. Eric has been working closely with Troy over the past three years and has been an absolutely stellar lab member. He is med school bound next year. Congrats Eric! We will miss you! 🎉

🎃 Well, this year my lab finally got tired of working with zebrafish. But, we didnt just want to start working with rodents, we thought we'd try being rodents! Happy Halloween from these lab rats! 🎃
