Paola Pilo, PhD is having a pretty busy day today talking about #zymoseptoria #effectors in the #Fungal22 conference! angela feechan Genetics Society of America UCD School Ag & Food

It's time to leave Asilomar after an amazing conference! Super happy that I got the chance to be here and meet so many brilliant people! Thanks everyone see you all next time! #Fungal22 Genetics Society of America

The second manuscript from my PhD work is out! Hard work pays off 💪 👩‍🔬 !! angela feechan UCD School Ag & Food UCD Earth Institute #phdthesis #plantscience #Researchpapers #WomenInSTEM frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

A day visiting the angela feechan lab UCD School Ag & Food discussing all things deadly to wheat. Tks for the hospitality! 👍👍👍

Super Proud of my Best Friend and BEST (former) Research Assistant ever 🔬🧬 Reaching amazing achievements in her PhD! Colleen Lawless remember..."Destiny is All🗡" Utred et al. 2020

Happy to finally see the Zt-11 work published! A great work with the amazing collaboration of Sujit Jung Karki & Colleen Lawless with our endless days of spore counting 🍄🔬 and spraying wheat 🪴 while the whole world was in lockdown 😷! Thanks to all involved doi.org/10.1371/journa…

🚨NEW PAPER ALERT🚨 from Sch. Biol. & Env. Sc UCD Earth Institute UCD Research & GMHughes Dr. Lauren Eve Simonitis 🇨🇺🇺🇸 My research reveals how cuttlefish ink can hijack a shark's sense of smell! 🦈🦑 This incredible defense mechanism acts as a "chemical smokescreen" academic.oup.com/g3journal/arti… [1/5]

This study, the first paper from my PhD thesis (many more to come), sheds new light on predator-prey interactions at the molecular level🧬 Cuttlefish ink isn't just a visual distraction. . it’s a chemical sensory disruptor that overwhelms sharks' olfactory receptors! 🦈 [2/5]

Using in-silico protein docking, we revealed how key components of cuttlefish ink, bind strongly across shark olfactory receptors. This "chemical smokescreen" turns their legendary sense of smell into an Achilles' heel🧬 [3/5]

A massive thank you to my supervisors GMHughes, John Finarelli, and Sch. Biol. & Env. Sc for their support throughout this journey. 🎉 Proud to say I officially submitted my PhD thesis earlier this month. Many more exciting discoveries to come! #AcademicTwitter #PhDLife [4/5]

This research paves the way for deeper investigations into the molecular mechanisms driving predator-prey interactions and evolutionary adaptations in marine ecosystems. Excited for what’s next! 🌊✨ #ScienceTwitter #MarineBiology #SharkBiology [5/5]

Our latest study GMHughes, John Finarelli and Sch. Biol. & Env. Sc now featured on UCD Research 🦈🦑 Read more here: ucd.ie/newsandopinion…
