My first PhD paper with Prakash Lab is out in its final form! Here we uncover the many folded forms of Placozoa and how cilia unfold them. Enjoy the paper and our stop motion summary of this story!

I bless UCLA & Caltech in the name of Jesus with Isaiah 43:2 ... when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.

Let UCLA & Caltech see Your mighty hand of salvation, and let their heart turn to You. Pray for the safety of people there in Jesus name. Amen.

Incidentally, the fact that 2025 is both the sum of the first nine cubes AND a square number isn't just a coincidence particular to 2025, but a result of this funky relation between a sum of cubes and a squared sum:

1³+2³+3³+...+n³ = (1+2+3+...+n)²
