New preprint from the lab with implications for olfactory organization in insects doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Happy to have contributed a small part to this project!

@cai_qiting @joannalkelley @UCSCscience @EvoEcoEric @AlexisMychajliw congrats tina!!!

Beyond excited to share that I'll be starting my PhD journey in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in @joannalkelley's lab @UCSCscience HUGE thank you to my biggest supporters @EvoEcoEric and @AlexisMychajliw (and many others!) for being amazing mentors throughout this process!!

@SteveWang251 hey Steve! Good to hear from you and thx for sharing :)

@davidtianbio Hi David! I came across this writeup of your research: beta.nsf.gov/news/endangere…

Thanks to @bobthesciguy for this great write up as well! news.berkeley.edu/2022/11/04/end…

Excited to share my first first-author paper on the critically endangered Devils Hole pupfish royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.10…

Tech opening in my lab at Princeton! Evolution, behavior, genomics, neuroscience, mosquitoes. Great for someone with college research experience exploring interests for future directions. For more info: tinyurl.com/McBrideLabTech Please RT.

Our work on human odor coding in the Zika/dengue mosquito now in final form! This collaborative work was led by @zhaozhilei with critical contributions from @JessicaLZung on odor analysis, @AnnikaHinze and Rickard Ignell on wind tunnel behavior… nature.com/articles/s4158…

@NicMAlexandre yahs vs. juicer🧃

@kattymcginnis can confirm ;)

I also want to acknowledge our wonderful collaborators at @NatlParkService and @USFWS in particular @jennygumm ! These are the folks on the ground working hard everyday to protect and maintain this species. (6/n)

What does this mean for the future of the Devils Hole pupfish? Moving forward, we hope to learn more from functional genetic tests, a de novo reference genome, and more genomes from both historical and contemporary specimens, all coming soon. (5/n)

I’m excited to share a preprint of my recent work on severe inbreeding and deleterious variants in the iconic Devils Hole pupfish! 🧵 (1/n) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

*Officially* submitted the first paper of my PhD (and my first paper EVER!!) 🥳 Check out our preprint to learn about dietary specialization in Barombi Mbo cichlids. Special shout-out to the ant 🐜 and sponge 🧽 eating fish that make science exciting!! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@zhaozhilei @davidtianbio @UMDITF Now out in Cell Reports Methods with a few new antibody stainings and some proof-of-principle imaging data tinyurl.com/w4eyebbs

A beautiful article documenting the environmental history of the Devils Hole pupfish. Looking forward to and proud to contribute to the future of this iconic species through genomics. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/abs/10.109…

So thrilled to see that our project exploring several popular hypotheses about how adaptive radiations start and proceed using a perfectly peculiar pupfish radiation is now published! pnas.org/content/118/20…
