I had a great time in Mt. Snow presenting Lindsay and Erica's study examining the cytokinetic bridge in de novo lumen formation. Both the poster session and oral presentation was fun, and I can't wait to go again. My son Bartlett had fun too and I think its time that we make it friendlier for families to bring their kids to week long meetings. I thought this meeting was a perfect one to bring kids too, it was a nice outdoor setting with lots of stuff for my husband and son to do, which included a petting zoo/farm where I got to make a new little friend! Lets promote young scientists by also supporting their ability to have a happy family life. Those with happy home lives and families are more able to produce great science and thats what we all want.
Congrats Erica!
Erica Colicino survived her hooding now she just has to live through her defense this fall! Wish her luck!

Celebrating Alice and Lindsay!
We had a delicious celebratory dinner for Alice, who graduated from Syracuse University, and for Lindsay on her engagement! Congrats Alice and Lindsay!
Great fun at University of Rochester
I had a great time talking about the role of cell division in tissue morphogenesis at the Biology Department at the University of Rochester yesterday! Not only did it bring back fond memories of my undergraduate research with Dr. Don Kane in the Biology Department but it was great to see how beautiful the campus is! In addition, I loved seeing Dan Bergstralh and his laboratory. Im so happy to have such a nice group of scientific neighbors.
