I'm happy to say that my paper is now available online! In this study done alongside @hedavis_msc and Marshall Ritchie in the @heathmacmillan lab, we looked at repeated cold stresses and warming periods in D. melanogaster. Here's a summary thread: https://t.co/eVYx0RZZNg

It’s the real ✨ Orange Glow ✨ folks!

Check out our GIANT pumpkin’s shell care routine 😜 🎃 ⬇️

Can you guess its weight? https://t.co/OBmV6ckC8i

Kate Helmore from @globeandmail recently visited us at @CarletonBiology @CarletonScience to talk about microplastics in the environment: we know they're there, but where are they ending up? 🦗🌎https://t.co/um7cxYDla1

🎃 Can you guess the weight of our GIANT pumpkin? 🤔 

@CarletonBiology has done it again, growing a MASSIVE pumpkin next to the greenhouses at Nesbitt. 🤯

Participate in the fundraiser & submit your guess for the chance to win AirPods! 🎧

Effects of a high cholesterol diet on Drosophila chill tolerance are highly context-dependent https://t.co/Id0zXrVpeV #bioRxiv

Full version is now published on the JEB website! In a nutshell, FITC-dextran leaks in vivo, but not ex vivo. No in vivo bacterial leak across the gut either, so we think that FITC-dextran is metabolized by gut bacteria in the locusts :)

New pre-print is now up where we investigated locust gut epithelial permeability in vivo and ex vivo at low temperatures! This work is the product of part of Kaylen Brzezinski's MSc research, as well as mine. Big shoutout to a great group of people who were a part of this >>>

We’re hiring! 🧬💻🐝 Please RT!

Looking for a Postdoc to join our collaborative #eDNA team!

The funded project involves international travel, and plenty of opportunities to make “beeDNA” jokes! 😁

For some light reading, check out our review/commentary on insect immune activation at stressful low temperatures! Why does it happen, what could trigger it, and how do we go about investigating this phenomenon? https://t.co/6kMWVheSh1

Mortality without springing a leak: Locust gut epithelia do not become more permeable to fluorescent dextran and bacteria in the cold https://t.co/h0KjPqUxtk #bioRxiv

I'm thrilled to be featured in @NatureVolve with a short piece about my MSc research on bird migration and humans, as well as a digital painting of mine. I love the combination of science and art in this magazine - it's a great combo! https://t.co/c8utXJ49YZ

1. I’m excited to share this preprint! This work was led by Serita Fudlosid, a talented then-MSc and now-PhD student. The first product of a fruitful cricket collab between my lab and @jenni_pro! #microplastics #insects #PlasticPollution 🦗https://t.co/7oaVkSijZQ
