12/1: The Talbot lab resubmits our big Mylpf story. We are so proud of this work, which encapsulates about half of what the lab has been up to since its founding. You can read our pre-print here. It would be an understatement to say that this is a "leveled-up" version of what we submitted last year; it's really a whole new work. Give it a read!

11/21: UMaine News shares a story about Jared's Histology class using an auto-stainer custom built by Emma Perry

11/12: Jared's father in law passes away. Best wishes to the family.

11/9: Jared visits lab alum Camellia Eggermann who very kindly donated a microtome for our histology course. It was a treat to share a tea ceremony with Camellia, and the microtome will improve the course immensely, since our current units are around 50 years old. Pictured: Mason standing next to the machine after helping to bring it inside.

11/6: The Talbot lab hosts Gabrielle Kardon for our first COBRE seminar of the year. What an amazing talk.

11/4: The lab goes out for Karaoke! Much fun was had.

10/23-25: Jared attends the annual COBRE retreat at MDIBL

10/22: Jared presents to Connor McCann's robotics group at Worcester Polytechnic Institute

10/21: Jared presents a seminar to the biology department at Boston College. Thank you so much for the invitation, Sarah McMenamin. In-person seminars are much more fun than zoom seminars.

10/13-15: Jared, Teresa, and Troy travel to the big Zebrafish Disease Modeling Society meeting in Boston. Photo is from our visit to Kowloon on the way home.

9/4-5: Jared, Teresa, Troy travel to Dartmouth College for the Connecticut Valley Zebrafish meeting. Jared presents a talk, and sticks around for a collaboration. Teresa and Troy both share excellent posters. As an added treat, we got to share dinner with lab alum Emily Tomak!

9/1: The Talbot lab welcomes our new Master's student, Lyddia Rougeux!

7/16: Jared's brother in law passes away unexpectedly at age 28. Best wishes to the family.

7/15: Teresa Easterbrooks takes over web maintenance. Jared had fun maintaining this 2020-2025, but is very happy to pass the baton. Thanks Teresa!

7/1/25 Congratulations to Troy Hupper on beginning his Masters program in the lab!

6/27/25 Congratulations to Maddison Coffin who successfully defended her Honors thesis "MYLPF Protein Levels Predict Muscle Structure in Zebrafish Models of Distal Arthrogryposis"!

6/18-6/22/25 Jared attends the International Conference on Developmental Biology, San Juan Puerto Rico

6/3/25 We turned in our first R01 proposal!

4/18/25 Congratulations to Mason Soares who successfully defended his Honors thesis "Mutagenesis of Essential Light Chain Genes in Zebrafish"!

4/17/25 We hosted Jim Du who gave a lovely talk "Loss of Smyd1 Leads to Sarcomere Disruption and Activates Hsf1-Driven Heat Shock Response in Fish Muscle"
