How does the face form? Why do faces look different? We leverage the strengths of the zebrafish system to understand craniofacial development and variability.

The caudal fin of #teleost fishes has likely contributed to their evolutionary success by increasing maneuverability and thrust. Learn from @StankLab how caudal fin symmetry originates from a central organizer and sets of central and peripheral rays. doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.475

Thank you very much for this recognition SDM, @CU_CFB & @CUAnschutz for this recognition. It is a great motivation as a return to work to my very supporting lab @NicholsLab as a #AcademicMama!! 🐣🐟🧬🔬

Zebrafish aren’t the only fish in Colorado. The fly fishing here is world class. Here are a few nice ones from this past summer. Good luck to all the students applying to PhD programs, I hope you consider @CSD_CUAMC for #gradschool! @NicholsLab #csdtakeover

Replying to @CUAnschutz
@CUAnschutz We enjoy a strong core group of labs using the zebrafish system like @CSD_CUAMC faculty members @AppelLabCU, @Artingerlab, @chrmosimann @Macklinlab and more. Here check out a normal juvenile and a mutant fish with its jaw locked open. @NicholsLab #csdtakeover

#gradschool can be family friendly. I had two daughters during my PhD and a son while a postdoc. It makes me happy to see support for students wanting to raise a family and pursue a PhD at the same time. My first F1 is now 13, seen here representing CSD. @NicholsLab #csdtakeover

It’s super important to celebrate the victories in science. Here’s @sucharovjuliana celebrating her recent first-author publication. This pub will certainly help her #gradschool application! This manuscript was coauthored by CSD student @spacemanbrooks @NicholsLab #csdtakeover

We use the zebrafish system for our studies of skeletal development. In this GIF a male and female are doing a courtship dance. Even though it’s snowy outside, it’s nice and toasty in the fish room! They’re excited for the day. @NicholsLab #csdtakeover

Hi out there I’m Jamie @nicholslab and it’s my turn for the #CSDtakeover. Im excited to show you some reasons why CSD and @cuanschutz is a great place for graduate school. Here is a look at our snowy campus this morning! #phdchat #gradschool (📸 @molbcu student @BailonRaisa)

Let's face it-- some patterns of development are incredible to watch.
