We showed that the cAMP-PKA pathway is critical for prey-sensing and trap development in nematode-trapping fungus. Beautiful trap image on the cover was taken by Jack Lin in my lab.

Happy Transposon Day 2022! Today is the 120th birthday of Barbara McClintock, founder of the #transposon field and Nobel laureate. Please celebrate with us by using the hashtag #TransposonDay2022. How has Barbara McClintock or her work influenced you? https://t.co/rRm70T0MUf
With support from a 2021 @AtkinsonCenter Academic Venture Fund grant, 7 researchers from 4 @Cornell colleges are creating a circular construction paradigm, with fungi-based materials fed by agricultural waste, diverting waste from landfills + reducing CO2. https://t.co/Ez1Lgjh8RR
Just had a great couple of days of talking about fungi at #SMBEfungal2022 in Quebec. So much awesome research going on. What a great way to return to in-person conferences!
