The busiest year of my life - moving 3 kids < 5 and a lab - has come to an exciting close, personally and professionally. We moved into our new home two days before Christmas and just finished a new #zebrafish paper www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I accidentally kicked Pierogi in my bed and she yelped and ran away so I followed her to apologize and she led me to the cat treats
