Isa is tackling some fascinating questions in early embryonic development, investigating how Pericentrin contributes to spindle assembly both before and after the mid-blastula transition. Using a pericentrin null zebrafish line, she's uncovered some striking findings that are shedding new light on centrosome function during this critical developmental window.
Catch Isa and her exciting results this Friday at the SOURCE Research Festival. Way to go, Isa—we're so proud of everything you've accomplished!
Last Friday, the Honors Program hosted a compelling BioArt talk by artist and educator Adam Zaretsky in the Lundgren Room. Known for his provocative work at the intersection of art and biology, Zaretsky captivated the audience with an engaging presentation that challenged traditional boundaries between scientific inquiry and artistic expression.
Following the talk, attendees gathered in the second-floor lunchroom of the Life Sciences Complex for refreshments and continued conversation. The event also featured a pop-up exhibit by Aksiniya Peycheva titled Trauma Mapping, which offered a powerful exploration of embodied memory and healing through mixed media.
It was a lively and thought-provoking afternoon of interdisciplinary exchange, drawing students and faculty from across campus.
We had a great Bio-Art Mixer last Friday on November 15 with our very own Yasir Ahmed-Braimah (SU, Biology) and visiting us from Carnegie Mellon was Richard Pell. This Mixer was support by the BioInspired Institute.
