Postdoc in the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics at Princeton. I study genome evolution and endosymbionts (bacteria and viruses) of ants and bees.

To be able to collect hundreds (and soon thousands) of fly transcriptomes for my current project, we had to develop a RNA-seq protocol that was as time- and cost-efficient as possible - here's the preprint! https://t.co/d5S3cpWVaQ

@egpringle @PanosSapountzis @CorrieMoreau This is great. It really helped me better understand our paper!

[Matthew Nelsen @mpnelsen]

Very excited to report our new paper on the evolution of ant-plant interactions just came out in PNAS. Big thanks to my post-doc advisors and co-authors @rree73 and @CorrieMoreau for their collaboration and contributions!

Excited to share our new preprint exploring regulatory evolution in 11 bee genomes! We describe the landscape of conserved, non-coding sequences across bees and identify loci where social behavior and evolutionary rates are correlated. https://t.co/hgEccQWLCR

Excellent new paper out by my former grad student @BenERRubin in Molecular Ecology! Dietary specialization in mutualistic acacia‐ants affects relative abundance but not identity of host‐associated bacteria https://t.co/Tfi0cxbPZC #ants #microbiome

[Kocher Lab @KocherLab]

Our lab's first preprint is on #bioRxiv! Social behavior in bees influences the abundance of Sodalis symbionts. https://t.co/afcwrA0Cf1

@Insect_Sciences I don't, but try asking Scott Geib at the USDA.

[Ben Rubin @BenERRubin]

@alpapan Sounds great to me!

[Ben Rubin @BenERRubin]

@rmwaterhouse @CorrieMoreau That would be great! How can I get the assessment set?

Calling all social insect scientists! Moreau & Suarez lab conference call #thephone #IUSSI2014

[Dr. Corrie Moreau @CorrieMoreau]

Women can do anything. I agree! Thanks Queensland. #FMWIS #STEMWomen #IUSSI2014

[Dr. Corrie Moreau @CorrieMoreau]

So excited! We saw a Southern Cassowary in the rainforest while collecting ants yesterday in Australia.

[Dr. Corrie Moreau @CorrieMoreau]

Collecting ants at the new @JCU Daintree Rainforest Observatory field station. Amazing new facilities! HT @SimonRobson9 @BenERRubin

[Doug Booher @antmuseum]

Ran across a set of 'Famous Female Entomologists' buttons at LANHM Bug Fair - @CorrieMoreau made the cut!

@JSpagna1 I study behavioral genomics in Pseudomyrmex plant-ants and their associated bacterial communities.
