I checked with them. No union at their institution.
Is it possible to be a successful person/leader and not be a complete an utter a-hole? Seriously I'm starting to have my doubts.

Fig. 3. Her9 mutants display pigmentation defects. A-B′) Lateral (A-B) and dorsal (A′-B′) views of melanophore patterning in WT/heterozygous and her9 mutant larvae at 6 dpf. Black arrowheads, dorsal stripe; green arrowheads, lateral stripe; blue arrowheads, ventral stripe; red arrowheads, yolk stripe; SB, swim bladder. C-D) H&E staining of WT/heterozygous and her9 mutant retina at 7 dpf; the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) is indicated with a white arrow. E-F′) Xanothophore (xan) and iridophore (ir) patterning in WT/heterozygous and her9 mutant larvae. Her9 mutants have reduced abundance of iridiphores (asterisks) and greater spread of xanthophores (yellow) than WT or heterozygous siblings. G-I′) Dorsal view of iridiphores and melanophores on the heads of WT/heterozygous and her9 mutant larvae.
Cagney E. Coomer et al. found Her9 is required for the migration, differentiation, and survival of neural crest cells. Learn more: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.diff.2026.100935
