Hi #ScienceMastodon
I’m a professor of molecular biology at UT Sorhwestern Medical Center. Our lab works on organ development, with a focus on the cardiovascular system, pancreas, kidney and lung. We use mouse models and organoids to ask questions about cell fate. Looking forward to learning and interacting here, as on Twiiter (let’s see how that site develops with the “change in leadership”).
You all are awesome for trying to explain Mastodon to me 💙 but it’s gonna take me a while 😂 (also, why can’t I attach images?) https://twitter.com/cstegman/status/1588923018868592641?s=46&t=m7OF_4G0T1KDQDYyt606gQ
