I am so excited to share this chapter of my dissertation work. See link below to read about evolution of polymorphism and courtship in Sphaerodactylus geckos!
Our paper is out today in PLOS Biology, please RT and tell us what you think! We discovered that bacteria encourage zebrafish social behavior by promoting microglial remodeling of 'social neurons'.🧵

Happy to share a collaborative effort from @eduboue, @AlexCarlKeene and @JohannaKowalko labs for creating a new Astyanax mexicanus husbandry protocol. We shortened generation time without impacting natural variation in behavior! https://t.co/Whp6omGD5G
Our latest paper is out @CurrentBiology !
The ctenophore-specific novel protein "CTENO189" is necessary for asymmetric ciliary beating and beautiful metaclonal waves in the ctenophore!

Today we publish 1st @HumanPangenome Reference Consortium primary research paper @Nature. Highlights: Near #T2T complete & error-free diploid human genome; phasing haplotypes in assembly graph is best; 50% of total genetic variation is in the centromeres

My lab is recruiting 2 graduate students (one M.S. and one Ph.D.) for Spring/Fall 2023. We are interested in identifying optimal movement strategies in heterogeneous environments by using the laboratory system of C. elegans and developing new mathematical theory. Pls contact &RT
October 10 is #WorldMentalHealthDay. Larval #zebrafish is a promising model for identifying novel therapeutics and interventions with broad impact in mental health. Check out the review from @carolineleiwee https://t.co/kKAKucWQTB
