2018
 Tour of Japanese Zebrafish Resource Center with first Japanese scientist to bring zebrafish to Japan, Prf, Okamoto!
12/28/2018
Shelton was nominated for OSU Frances Dancy Hooks Award for building bridges across cultures. 12/06/2018 NSF grant funded! NSF I-corps will permit customer discovery for my technology Visioglow. Read more about my grant and technology here. 10/31/2018 Shelton gives an invited talk at RIKEN Brain Science Center and visits the lab of professor Hitoshi Okamoto in Tokyo, Japan. One of my goals is to meet researchers around globe, especially zebrafish researchers. I had a wonderful visit with professor Okamoto, the first scientist to bring zebrafish to Japan.  Enjoying Soba noodles with the Araki lab after my talk.
10/26/2018
Wiley #top20articles award for one of the most influential articles in recent history to Shelton & Alberts, 2018 10/24/2018 Shelton gives an invited talk at Hokkaido University and visits the lab of professor Hitoshi Araki in Sapporo, Japan. I had a fantastic visit with the Araki lab. I received thoughtful feedback on my research, especially from an ecological perspective. It's wonderful to interact with talented scientists. 10/19/2018 We passed the two-round application interview process for NSF I-Corp. It was an intense learning experience as we were a multidisciplinary team (business leader, computer scientist, and biologist) coped with learning to speak a new and common language as we embarked into start-up world. The toughness of the collaboration was compounded because we were operating in 3 different time zones, and at times in 3 different countries! We succeeded, as NSF I-Corp Invited us (team Visioglow) to submit a full proposal.  Fantastic talk by Society of Toxicology intern Fahren Nipple.
10/14/2018
Tanguay lab presents at PANWAT! I attended my first Toxicology meeting. It gave me new perspectives on my work. Interacting with this community of researchers was exciting. PANWAT provided in-house professional development and diversity training. I also sneaked in time to conduct customer discovery interviews for Visioglow. 08/09/2018 Congrats Society of Toxicology intern, Fahren Nipple on a fantastic final presentation. We enjoyed you! Represent at Albany State, HBCU. 08/02/2018 ABS welcomes 10 Turner Awardees! Drs. Delia Shelton and Carrie Hall coordinate the Charles H.
