I’ve reached a new level of academic stress…trying to submit a grant 15 mins before a deadline while my sick 🤧 baby tries to repeatedly throw himself off the couch! 😭 #PhDlife

We are recruiting!
If you’re a student or postdoc interested in studying how dysregulating microRNAs causes cancer and how to therapeutically intervene, please drop me a line!
At 11 month old my son gave his first scientific poster at an international conference! Other babies watch out! :p starting him young on that #mimuluspropaganda #evolution #mimulus #monkeyflowers

Protip: a wheelchair-accessible taxi is not one where you have to climb up into the seat that's above your head while in the chair, and then have the taxi driver and a friend pop your chair in the boot of the taxi. An accessible taxi has a ramp and space to park the chair with me
So excited to have some different Mimulus species flowering the greenhouse! They’re so cute! Thanks @Jenn_Coughlan for sending the seeds! #mimuluspropaganda #monkeflowers #phdlife #botany
Just patiently waiting on these F1’s to flower so I can collect their data… #hurryplease #Mimulus #phdlife
Everyone should get a little crochet version of their study organism for their lab’s greenhouse/lab keys so they don’t get lost 😅 and because it’s super cute. ☺️
Look at this amazing crochet Mimulus flower a family friend made for my son! #mimuluspropaganda #phdmom #monkeyflower
Made some Mimulus laciniatus cookies for our end of semester lab celebration! The ones without the spots represent the mutants I will be using in my crossing experiments this summer to explore the genetic basis of red spotting. 🤭🌼🧬
So thankful to be a part of such a fantastic lab! 🌼🍃 – at New Orleans, LA
