The Hehnly Lab’s 1st preprint, led by Lindsay Rathbun with the help of many people including our graduate student Abrar Aljiboury and postbac Julie Manikas, along with Josh Bembenek’s laboratory (University of Michigan with X Bai from the NIH) and Jeff Amack’s laboratory (UPSTATE Medical School, Syracuse NY). We found some crazy large centrosomes in extremely large zebrafish embryo cells that scale with changes in cell size! We didn’t leave out C. elegans either. Check it out here:
Also check out a zebrafish embryo dividing cells! Microtubules (EMTB-GFP) on left and centrosomes (centrin-GFP) on right.

Boryana, Ed, and I thought what better way to relax than chat about some art and biology. I know I can use something positive and fun to think about, so why not virtually get together and listen to bio-artist Kira O’Reily and biologist Margaret McCoy talk about their work. Ed Morris will be moderating discussion where you can ask questions in the chat or live via zoom. We can’t offer snacks as usual, but you can bring your own and I will raise a glass to toast our excellent speakers and friends who can make it. Please spread the word.
Kira O’Reily is an Artist and Lecturer based out of Helsinki, Finland. Visit her website here: https://about.me/kira_oreilly and her presentation will focus on menopause, where she will create a discussion around the affects of hormone and endocrine systems across bodies, species, and environments.
Margaret McCoy is a graduate student in Melissa Pepling’s laboratory (http://peplinglab.syr.edu/index.html) and will be discussing how general anesthetics affect reproductive organ function and cognitive behavior.
