I am so deeply sad to share that our beloved dog Rosa passed away last night. It was unexpected and quick, which is the only thing bringing us peace. She was the best girl. We were so, so lucky to know her and love her. @pashucklab.bsky.social

Anyone else getting email requests from VWR, Sigma, Fisher,+ asking you to send “end user contact info” before a vendor will ship? This seems to be happening more frequently, and it holds up orders because I miss the email or it doesn’t look like a legit email… 🤔

As federal funding for research is uncertain, we need to diversify funding sources for our PhD students.
Here is a comprehensive list of >160 PhD fellowships and funding opportunities, mostly from private foundations and scientific societies.

Fun story from @matthewfainor.bsky.social on how next-gen recombinant proteins are being expressed in fruit flies, and what implications that could have for our lab-grown hydrogel biomaterials!
You're telling me the next generation of medical therapies will be made INSIDE fruit flies? But how? And why?

Fruit flies will produce the next groundbreaking medical therapy
And, according to a new life cycle assessment, will significantly reduce biotech's environmental footprint
