Had so much fun giving a seminar at Utah Human Genetics! Got to meet so many amazing grad students and postdocs, and I got to reconnect with several friends! Thank you to the grad students for inviting me!!!!!
Quote post with a picture you took in a National Park.
Zion National Park last month.
The lab went on its annual Winter retreat - this year to Sisters, OR. Lots of great science discussions, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, food, and bonding! #libuddies #meiosis4eva
Last night we had our annual Libuda Lab Holiday party! Here we are displaying our white elephant gift bounty! Best gifts - Bridgerton Clue board game, toilet paper, and set of 3 puzzles wrapped in the shape of the Star Wars TIE fighter. #libuddies #meiosis4eva

Big end of semester energy.
Ooooo now you’re making me crave an ube latte right now. Here’s a pic of the one I got during your visit - it was perfection. 🍠☕️
Haha! Indeed!

While prepping for our Thanksgiving meal, I inadvertently made a sweet potato into #celegans. Is my subconscious telling me something? Thank you worms! Happy Thanksgiving!
Hooray for pretty images! So glad the antibody worked! Happy Thanksgiving! 🔬🧬🦃

This approach has a well-known consequence: it's called the minority tax that faculty of color often face as we're called upon to address inequities in the larger system. I just want to make sure we don't keep adding to that tax. 4/4.

Nearly half a dozen institutions of higher education announced plans this week to make tuition free for undergraduates whose families make below a certain income threshold, starting in fall 2025.
Thank you!
For #FluorescenceFriday, here's some meiotic spindles trying to segregate chromosomes with multiple crossovers in #celegans. Image taken by Jeremy Hollis from our collaboration with Sadie Wignall's lab. #meiosis4eva
My 9 year old saw these mushrooms on our walk to her school this morning and she said, “We should invite them to Thanksgiving, I hear they’re fun guys.” I think she’s adopting my sense of humor and it made me happy.

My greatest contribution to the field #meiosis4ever #meiosis4eva
Thank you! Cori is a master microscopist. Anyone who joins her lab will be super lucky to have her as a mentor!
Thank you!
For #MicroscopyMonday, here is a pachytene stage chromosome from a #zebrafish spermatocyte, imaged with superresolution microscopy by postdoc @cahooncori.bsky.social who's starting her own lab at CSU Fort Collins in January 2025. #meiosis4eva

Yay #FluorescentFriday! A live #celegans hermaphrodite germline undergoing oogenesis with a fluorescent synaptonemal complex, a meiotic chromosome structure, marking the chromosomes in each nucleus. Movie taken by @cahooncori.bsky.social #meiosis4eva
Official website for EMBO meiosis 2025 is live now! Looking forward to seeing you in Switzerland next June! #meiosis4eva

A PSA for PIs: If you have a light microscope, please have watch your lab watch these short practical videos on how to prevent damage to your objective lenses! Trust me on this one, they need it...

Huge thanks to @triggerloop.bsky.social for coming out to @uoregon.bsky.social to tell us about his amazing science! So much fun to host you! He took home a taste of Eugene to his lab in the form of some freshly baked donuts & pretzels from the Locals donut food truck. 🧬🍩🥨
San Francisco! 🚋🌉
Congrats!!! Beautiful paper and super cool image!!!
