📃 Really grateful and honored to get to be a part of the Rete Ovarii’s history!

If you have a moment, read the @sciencenews.bsky.social article on my papers!

🧵 🧪 1/ Female #ReproductiveBiology is, unfortunately, notoriously understudied.

So maybe it’s no surprise that a supposedly useless ‘developmental leftover’ in the ovaries could turn out to be...not so useless after all.

Meet the rete ovarii 👇

Long thought to have little relevance to ovarian physiology, the rete ovarii may have a role in follicular dynamics and reproductive health.

Excited to share that part of my PhD work is officially published in eLife! Couldn’t have done it without @jenmckey.bsky.social

Even though there are great #devbio and #biophysics starter packs, I felt #morphogenesis & #organogenesis was missing as a subfield :D

Far from complete or full. Tell me if you want to be added!

Go @ceriweber.bsky.social !!

✨ I’ve finally gathered enough amazing researchers to create a BlueSky starter pack for those studying the female reproductive tract!

Please follow, share widely, and (self-)nominate anyone who should be included. Let’s grow this community together! ✨

Three months as a postdoc!! Thrilled to share that I’ve joined the Hammoud Lab at the University of Michigan as a postdoctoral fellow! Looking forward to being part of the exciting and novel research that is being done in this amazing lab!

Rete excited to share my 2nd first-author paper on the bulk of my PhD work titled, “Rediscovering the Rete Ovarii: a secreting auxiliary structure to the ovary” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
@jenmckey.bsky.social

Excited to share my 1st first-author paper! Took blood, sweat, tears, and a whole village to produce a comprehensive bulk, Sc and Sn transcriptome analysis of the fetal and adult rete ovarii! Watch this space for an upcoming second preprint!😉
