I'm looking for PhD students to join the lab starting August 2026. We study the evolution of insect chemical signals so if you're interested in evolutionary biology, chemical ecology, molecular biology, behavior, or genetics, this could be a good fit for you! More info here: tinyurl.com/mrxchwfm

Can’t wait to bring this to my comparative anatomy class on Friday! I keep telling them that new stuff is discovered about vertebrate bodies constantly - and here’s more proof of that.
