We updated our database and now list 385 postdoc fellowship opportunities (w/ description, deadline, amount, eligibility, etc). Getting one means a lot more freedom to do the work you want to do.

BABY SEA URCHIN ALERT! Today I counted ~500 Lytechinus pictus juveniles from our F3 inbred wild type line we are generating. Took 17 days from fertilization to metamorphosis. Check out those pedicellaria! @Hamdounlab

We ❤️ a group photo! Our P4s took their annual group photo at the PATHS Retreat last month and we could feel the cohort love! The P4s are our largest cohort, with 21 scholars. They joined the PATHS Program in 2021 and are now beginning their second year at UC San Diego!

Developmental regulatory elements evolve, and they (can) evolve FAST! In this work, we examine the impact of life history evolution on regulatory element evolution in Heliocidaris sea urchins. Now out in @OfficialSMBE @MolBioEvol (1/n): academic.oup.com/mbe/article…

My department @ucdavisbiology is hiring a Developmental Biologist (defined broadly). Please apply even if you think you aren't the "perfect" fit! Above all, we are looking for exciting science and an excellent colleague! recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF05138
I'm super excited to share a preprint from my PhD work in the @dave_matus lab at @stonybrooku! There is growing evidence that proliferation and invasion through basement membranes are mutually exclusive cell behaviors - but what regulates this cellular switch?
