Index of Inspiring Black Scientists | Wiley The Inspiring Black Scientists Index is a curated database celebrating diverse contributions to science. Join us in promoting education and collaboration.

Happy Black History Month! I am sharing a permanent and continuously updated list of inspiring Black scientists! Check it out! Huge thank you to the folks who gathered this info. Thank you to @drstarbird.bsky.social and the rest of the Index Committee! www.wiley.com/en-us/resear...

Congratulations to Departmental faculty Dr. Kristin Watt @wattlab.bsky.social on winning the H.W. Mossman Award in Developmental Biology through the American Association for Anatomy @anatomyorg.bsky.social!

Applications for the 2026 CSHL Mouse Development, Stem Cells & Cancer course @cshlcourses.bsky.social are due March 13th. Don't miss this great opportunity to learn all about the mouse model from leaders in the field!

Thanks, Linda! ❤️

Our work out in @devbiol.bsky.social, PDGFra is needed for 🧠 perivascular fibroblast development... ⬇️ perivascular fibroblast = ⬇️ perivascular macrophage...cross-talk? 👀
Led by Hannah Jones @hejcell.bsky.social w/ Kelsey Abrams, Sophia Kim, excited for more projects w/ @fantauzzolab.bsky.social!

Additive effects on craniofacial development upon conditional ablation of PDGFRα and SHP2 in the mouse neural crest lineage Background Activity of the receptor tyrosine kinase PDGFRα and the tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 is critical for vertebrate craniofacial development. SHP2 has been shown to both positively and negativel.....

New paper alert from the lab: "Additive effects on craniofacial development upon conditional ablation of PDGFRa and SHP2 in the mouse neural crest lineage" published in @devdynamics.bsky.social: anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/....

Half of the lab attended #SCGDB2025 and had a great time! @ecbrooks96.bsky.social

It was an honor and a pleasure serving as @scgdb.bsky.social Secretary the past two years!

We kicked off #SCGDB2025 with exciting award talks from Dr. Timothy Cox @craniofacialprof.bsky.social and Dr. Jennifer
Fish, pictured here with SCGDB President Dr. Matthew Harris @fish4walking.bsky.social and local meeting host Dr. Kristin Artinger @artingerlab.bsky.social.

So excited to be serving as Guest Editor for a special issue in @devbiol.bsky.social on receptor tyrosine kinase signaling in development. Please consider contributing!

Happy National Postdoc Appreciation Week to Dr. Maria Campaña and @ecbrooks96.bsky.social! Very much appreciate the expertise, curiosity and collegiality that they bring to our lab.

Congratulations to Erin Binne, who won the Outstanding Laboratory Research Service Professionals Award through the CU Anschutz School of Dental Medicine!

This Sunday, September 7th is the registration deadline and the due date for abstracts to be considered for a poster presentation at the SCGDB annual meeting this month in Minneapolis. More information and program highlights available at scgdb.org.

Abstracts are due by Monday, August 25th to be considered for a short talk at the SCGDB annual meeting this September in Minneapolis. More information and program highlights available at scgdb.org.
