Congratulations to my WashU colleagues and all the other new AAAS fellows. Wouldn’t be here without my supportive mentors and wonderful trainees. Thank you.

Meet Mochi, the newest addition to our “zoo”…

Thanks to the McDonnell Center for Systems Neuroscience for providing seed funding for a new project that aims at understanding the etiology of environmental stress induced seizures in Drosophila. In collaboration with the Huang lab (sites.wustl.edu/huanglab/).

Now that all my milkweed plants are done for the winter, I can sadly reflect on tne fact that for the first time in five years, we didn’t find a single monarch caterpillar munching on them all summer.

Wash U Biology is hiring. Please repost and encourage your trainees to apply.
