As we await the verdict, we send love to the family, friends, and community of George Floyd. His life mattered and he should still be here.

Derek Chauvin is GUILTY OF ALL THREE COUNTS in the death of George Floyd. 2nd Degree Murder: GUILTY 3rd Degree Murder: GUILTY 2nd Degree Manslaughter: GUILTY #ChauvinTrial #GeorgeFloyd

Our lab is participating in the Day of Refusal and we encourage other labs to do the same. Our lab members have been harassed by campus police and we stand with them in solidarity.

Great lab trip to a goat farm today

big thank you to AmphibiaWeb- we're on @amphibiaweb.bsky.social for featuring our study in their Species of the Week blurb!

Our lab members are moving to a 4-day workweek this academic year. Studies show this increases staff happiness, productivity, and retention. We think that will hold for academic labs too. 🐸📈🔬

submitted a dissertation chapter 🤞 for now, here's the pre-print. an especially big thank you to Lauren O'Connell and Lab of Organismal Biology for tolerating my diverse/occasionally uncontained stash of live insects for a whole yr. you all made this project possible. tinyurl.com/bdz56ufb

We are delighted that Mabelin has joined our team and will be leading chemical ecology projects based in 🇨🇴 Colombia ☠️ 🐸 🧪🔬

🤩🥰💫🐸Amazing scientists in our group from Colombia Mabelin Amanda Muñoz-Meneses (Amanda Pohlman) and Peru Shirley Jennifer Serrano Rojas at the recent #WomenInScience event at California Academy of Sciences watch for their amazing work coming up!!!

Today at the Lab of Organismal Biology we had students from the BioJam Camp visiting our frog’s rooms! I love sharing my passion for frogs and research with students! They were curious and loved the frogs and toads 💚🐸 We then attended their workshop on hydroponic plants 🌱#outreach #steam

What else can the MasSpec Pen do?! Check out our latest work applying gentle masspec pen analysis to detect alkaloids from the skin of poison frogs in vivo! 🌱🐜🐸 Huge thanks to our friends and collaborators in the O’Connell lab! Lauren O'Connell Lab of Organismal Biology

My first dry season data collection in Peru came to an end. Thanks to my PI Lauren O'Connell for supporting my research ideas. During the last months, I have been tracking four species of poison frogs Ameerega macero, A. shihuemoy, A. trivittata, and Allobates femoralis Lab of Organismal Biology
