Heartbroken by the brutal attack.

He came to visit me after today’s #ARO2025 sessions for my 25th birthday. He was so excited to peek into the poster hall.24 Feb 2025 04:05 +0000at://did:plc:ycdwxv3whie6gcpppxexaa3m/app.bsky.feed.post/3livhsw3pxs2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/jessdixonneuro.bsky.social/post/3lirnwbedb22wI’m excited to present my first poster of my PhD at #ARO2025! If you are interested in glia, time-lapse imaging, and/or cochlear development, stop by my poster at 1 pm today :)22 Feb 2025 15:43 +0000at://did:plc:ycdwxv3whie6gcpppxexaa3m/app.bsky.feed.post/3lirnwbedb22whttps://bsky.app/profile/jessdixonneuro.bsky.social/post/3lb6mbu7s4r2eI’m at the intersection of glial biology, the auditory field, and collective migration. I’m excited to connect with these communities here :) I research PNS glial precursor (GP) migration in the developing cochlea. There is so much to learn about how mammalian GPs reach their final destinations!17 Nov 2024 23:57 +0000at://did:plc:ycdwxv3whie6gcpppxexaa3m/app.bsky.feed.post/3lb6mbu7s4r2e
