This summer, David Suzuki received attention for his iPolitics interview titled: “‘It’s too late’: David Suzuki says the fight against climate change is lost.” This shift in tone led us to ask: Are Canadians Climate Doomers? @chrispyross 🧵

I am excited to announce that the last paper from my PhD is now out!

In this paper, we tested how early-life predation stress shapes adult behaviour in Trinidadian guppies and whether DNA methylation in the brain plays a role.

Special thanks to my collaborators throughout my thesis and all my friends and family who supported me along the way. Very excited to wrap this chapter of my life up and to move onto the next! 🐟🧬👩🏼‍🔬

How fast can brains epigenetically respond to predation stress?

We found that brain DNA methylation in guppies can shift within 30 minutes of predator exposure — with different time courses between males and females.

New paper from my PhD now out! 🧠🐟

Very excited and grateful to receive the Bruce Cattanach Prize for my thesis which I just defended on Tuesday!

[The Genetics Society @GenSocUK]

Congratulations to @JanayAFox1 for winning the Bruce Cattanach Prize! Funded by Mouse News Letter Ltd, this prize celebrates an outstanding PhD thesis related to the use of non-human in vivo animal models.

Thank so much @EwanHarney for taking the lead on this! It was a great time working with all of you. Check out our review paper if you're interested in epigenetics in natural populations.

📢Out now! How do the epigenome and genome interact to shape phenotypic variation? Our review in @EvolAppJournal explores how these interactions play out in natural populations and vary within and between diverse plant and animal taxa:

@Evol_mtg Thanks so much to @ClareVenney @MooHoll for organizing an epigenetics symposium! It has been so fun finding a whole crew of people with similar interests.

[Janay A Fox @JanayAFox1]

I had a great time presenting at #evol2024, if you are interested in chatting about behavioural plasticity or epigenetics come find me! @Evol_mtg

🚨How do the epigenome, genome, and environment interact in natural plant and animal populations? What are the evolutionary consequences of epigenomic variation? For this and more, check out our latest review, the fruit of a great collaboration! ⬇️⬇️

Presenting my work at @SMBEmeetings today! Come stop by my poster if you're interested in fish behaviour, epigenetics, or talking about fear factor 👩🏼‍🔬💥

Ch. 4 of my thesis is out! We use two fish species found in the same environment but with different evolutionary histories (one recent range expanding and one native) to show that maladaptive plasticity in gene expression could play a role in the colonization of new environments.

Janay Fox, from the Barrett lab, and collaborators have recently published a review paper in Proc. B summarizing the insights that research on Trinidadian guppies have provided on adaptive behavioural plasticity. Read more here:
