Thanks to all the presenters at our #esa2023 Chemical Ecology Symposium. Fantastic research and standing room only. 🐞🦟🪰Hany Dweck هاني دويك Lisa (소연) Baik 🦟 Thanks also to Dr. Brian Lovett and Esther Ngumbi for organizing a great meeting 🎉🍾

Fully funded MSc positions available in my lab in 2024 StFX University . Bugs, behaviour, evolution, all in small town Nova Scotia 🐞🇨🇦 Please share!

The smallest flying insects, of the genus Megaphragma, are smaller than a single-celled amoeba. An adult wasp has 4,600 neurons, compared to a house fly with 340,000. Their neurons also don't have a nucleus, which enabled their brains to shrink by 50%.

An introduction to Applied Bioinformatics github.com/applied-bioinf… Very nice book with python code.

Our research on using AlphaFold2 to predict how peptides from disordered regions bind proteins has now been published with Springer Nature in Nature Communications I am very happy to share the updated paper with you 😀 rdcu.be/dwlLa

If you crispr some bugs and don’t see the behavioral phenotype you’re after, you should still PCR and run a gel in case it’s mosaic? Yes/NO!?

What do you do when you can’t find primers that are specific for your target DNA. I’ve got 5 similar genes and only want to amplify a 1000bp fragment of 1 of the genes. Primer-blast didn’t do it no matter how I tweaked the parameters. Help!

Hot off the press! Thank you, John@CarlsonLab_Yale. It was fun writing this with you. Soon, we will film the video for this protocol! jove.com/t/66665/base-r…

👀 What happens if officials refuse to certify the election results? Explained by Yale law grad Daria Rose

Looking for a used or cheap gel-imager. I know there are probably hundreds of these things laying around in labs unused…maybe someone is willing to part with one that’s just taking up space?
