Science really is a joy! At least occasionally, which is what keeps scientists coming back for more despite all the frustrations: Juliane Gross, curation lead of the Artemis Internal Science Team, right, and Debra Needham, with the NASA Science Mission Directorate, during the lunar flyby on Monday.

Deadline extended to March 10th - it’s not too late to join us for GetHired!

I'm thrilled to be co-teaching this wonderful course again this fall. Come join us at the MBL for a transformative experience!

Congrats to this fantastic group of SDB Academy members!

Congratulations to this fabulous group of award winners!

I'm thrilled to see this beautiful work by recent Prince lab members Theresa Christiansen and Vish Venkataraman now in print! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

Doom scrolling? Stop to watch Veronika and you will feel much better.

I am looking forward to co-teaching GetHired! This course is suitable for postdocs in developmental, cellular, molecular, genetics and similar research fields who are prepping for the faculty job market.

Pipetting is a skill! If you let a dechorionated early-stage embryo hit the air:water interface you will no longer have an embryo - just a bit of exploded mush.

A fabulous opportunity for an imaging scientist at the MBL

So cool! Congratulations.

Congratulations to Dr. Vish Venkataraman! A fabulous thesis defense today.

Ahh, happy days 🙂
