Pleased to say this is now out in @Nature: Thanks again to all the coauthors and the reviewers who helped improve the manuscript :)
(1/16) Excited to share the first part of my PhD work with @AdamEzraCohen and @SeanMegason, where we asked the question: how does the heart fire up during embryonic development?

Very happy to see this out in the world! Here we optogenetically control morphogen signaling to sculpt zebrafish development. I joined the team in my Cohen lab rotation - @h4rrymcnamara and @LordLab_Pitt have been inspirational scientists and invaluable mentors over the years.
We’re very excited to share the first preprint from my lab along with @h4rrymcnamara, @BillZJia, @AdamEzraCohen, and Alex Schier. We describe a set of methods for exerting spatial control over Nodal signaling in zebrafish development.

I'll be giving a talk tomorrow for the Science on Tap series at Boston College. Check it out if you want to hear what we learned about how the embryonic heart first starts beating! (preprint here:
This Thursday, we will welcome our first Science on Tap speaker of the summer: Bill Jia! Bill is a graduate student at Harvard doing research on zebrafish organogenesis. Seminars are Thursdays at 4pm, open to the public! #zebrafish #optogenetics

@PaulBeachDOPhD The semantics of what a heartbeat is can be debated, but we've described the features that (initially) allow rhythmicity and spatial ordering of activation, which are what make the heart unique. The rest is similar to other muscle physiology.

@micahgallen The zebrafish heart actually isn't thought to be connected to the nervous system at all at this stage - it *is* however right beneath the developing hindbrain, so who knows...
