A 'NOBYL' PURSUIT: Very few graduate students have their research make international headlines, let alone before their dissertation is complete, but it’s easy to understand why Megan Dillon’s work with "Chernobyl dogs" has captured global imaginations: ncst.at/57kN50VltJi

Happy New Year! We have a new publication out in PLoS One looking at mutation in the dogs in Chornobyl, check it out here: doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Very excited to share our latest manuscript ! Check out our work with Chornobyl ticks parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Reflecting on a great week... Thank you to everyone who made #TWS2023 a success! Safe travels home and hopefully we'll see you in Baltimore, Maryland next year for our 31st Annual Conference Oct. 19-23, 2024.⁠

Wonderful to share our work and learn so much at #TWS2023 Thank you to @TWS_MEWG for everything!

Getting super excited for #TWS2023 ! Come hear about our work with the Chernobyl dogs

Dogs are humanity's best friend—but how long has it been that way? 🐕 This Science study investigated ancient dog genomes, revealing a complicated genetic legacy that reflects a long, shared history with humans. Learn more on #InternationalDogDay: scim.ag/3RS

ATTENZIONE PICKPOCKET !!

@NCStateAEC @MadiPolera Woohoo! Love seeing my colleagues work featured 🩵

PhD student, @MadiPolera, is on a mission to better measure the health of these imperiled species... Watch the whole video on our YouTube: youtu.be/Gt660cpBRgQ

#NewProfilePic highly recommend taking lab pictures on a film/disposable camera! Such a fun keepsake!

The undergrads in my lab love our eppendorf research plus pipette pens (and I do too!) We love to use eppendorf products for our genetic analyses, including our look at the dogs around Chernobyl #EppendorfLife

@miJretsoF @MobReiskind Thank you so much!!

@MobReiskind @mdillonbio Hey congratulations!! How’d I miss this? Woohoo rock it! 😎

So @mdillonbio is now a candidate for PhD. Unconditional pass. She rocked it!

@wheezenfeld Congrats!!! So so exciting!!

POV: you just passed your first qualifying exam (‼️) and you are touching grass. the weather is nice and you are having california pizza kitchen for dinner

Another exciting publication coming out from the Breen Lab, check out this press release for a sneak peak! go.ncsu.edu/hktvuby

does not indicate that these dogs are mutants or that any genetic differentiation has been linked to the exposures faced (not just radiation!!).

The headline, like that of many articles that have come out following the two recent Chernobyl dog publications, is a bit overly suggestive of our findings. This foundational work will aid in following genetic analyses for these dogs but

Our work was recently featured on VICE! Pretty interesting breakdown of our publication!
