I'm a professor at a public university, cell biologist and geneticist who studies chromosome segregation in C. elegans during both development (mitosis) and sexual reproduction (meiosis).
I am also a passionate and committed advocate for equity in academic science
I enjoy my work, in all its forms, food (eating and cooking) and cocktails (in all its forms, but particularly the brown varieties π₯ ).
What up, y'all?
Let's get #SciArt flowing into Mastodon!
What are some of your #SciArt (science-themed art) works you want to highlight? I will boost.
After trying many different media over the years (including drawing, embroidery etc) I found love in pottery. Now I make pottery pieces that highlight underappreciated organisms. Here are some examples of #worms, #jellyfish, #insects, #spiders etc. These are all boxes with lids!

Intro post for this platform: I am an Asst. Prof. of Genome Sciences at the Univ. of Washington π
My lab uses bioinfo, mol bio, and advanced microscopy to develop new tech and study spatial patterns of chromosome organization and gene expression at the single-cell level.
This also seems like a good place to mention that @dschweppe and I have an open ad for a postdoc interested in chromatin proteomics π
