Just because its fun~ This is one of my favorite videos I've taken in my PhD! Here is 60x imaging of neutrophils swarming to attack yeast targets in blue :)
Zara was a great inspiration and mentor... Its really sad the excellent often leave us too soon... You will be missed Zara 💕
Zara Weinberg passed away earlier this week. She joined my lab earlier this year when her postdoc lab formally closed.
She was a brilliant scientist, supportive mentor, dear friend, avid music fan, rabid believer in public transit, open science champion, and above all just an amazing human.

I worry that not enough of a big deal is being made about how long-term the devastation of these budget cuts to our scientific and health agencies will be, beyond the absolute ruin they will cause in the acute period.

Thanks @c0nc0rdance.bsky.social for this thread :) Wanted to amplify this part because its been on my mind a *lot* lately.

Public researchers work tirelessly (for limited pay) to create information for *everyone's* benefit. Attacking the NIH, NSF and other public funders hurts *all* of us...
I will point out that work like this is only possible because of funding by NIH, NSF, private industry and not-for-profit research foundations in close collaboration.

Science is a collective, public, international effort that benefits all of humanity & dimming its light anywhere dims it everywhere.

Doing my best to make sure this page is about cool microscopy and not my current postdoc search status... 😓

Just swam over to Bluesky and decided to dip my fin in the water. I am a Postdoc in the Weinstein lab and currently on the faculty job market. I developed an injury system to study cutaneous wound healing in adult zebrafish. Check out my movie showing neutrophil recruitment after injury.
