Very glad to finally share this work (the last one of my PhD)!! Check it out if you want to learn more about how Drosophila bitter taste neurons detect bacteria

I'm SO excited to share with you one of my projects near & dear to me as a mosquito sensory neurobiologist: scRNAseq in the Aedes aegypti antenna (& maxillary palp!)!! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… A thread explaining results and some of this project's journey! 1/

A new 2-year postdoc position is available in our lab! On Lepidoptera genomics with Dr. Akito Kawahara and team. Application reviews begin Apr. 1, 2022. To apply, see: evol.mcmaster.ca/~brian/evoldir… **Please RT!**

Hello, I'm currently looking for a Research Assistant (RA) position after my graduation in May 2022. My plan after doing RA is to go to PhD program in Biology. I attached a list of the techniques I have gained so far for your references. Thank you so much. Hiro. H

A huge group of Japanese honeybees protect themselves from a giant hornet entering the nest by surrounding the invader and flapping their wings, creating lethal heat for the hornet but the bees. A rhodopsin might be involved in the thermal sensation: bmcecolevol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Our work on human odor coding in the Zika/dengue mosquito now in final form! This collaborative work was led by Zhilei Zhao with critical contributions from Jessica Zung on odor analysis, Annika Hinze and Rickard Ignell on wind tunnel behavior… nature.com/articles/s4158…

Today we introduce an ML-generated sensory map that relates thousands of molecules and their perceived odors, enabling the prediction of odors from unseen molecules and providing a potential tool to address global health issues like insect-borne disease. goo.gle/3TOZVPZ

Where do new senses come from? In paired studies, we explore the structural basis of sensory receptor evolution in octopus and squid. @CoreyAHallard Wendy Valencia @RyanHibbs10 nature - nature.com/articles/s4158… - nature.com/articles/s4158…

New paper on "wing-slapping," the defensive behavior of #honeybee, now out in Ecology! Watch the full video set to the cool music of #MIYAVI (MIYAVI), who’s renowned for his guitar slapping! 🐝⬇️⬇️⬇️🐝 youtube.com/watch?v=8N2IUR… Paper info: doi.org/10.1002/ecy.43…

Having more sensory neurons sounds beneficial for perception and behavior, but is it? If so, how? Check out our new publication for some new theories. nature.com/articles/s4146…
