Mariana was awarded an NIH K99 to continue examining how hormones shape neural responses to acoustic cues. This grant will allow her to shift her future research focus to study the mechanisms of transient deafness in tadpoles. Hurray!
Julianna was awarded the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) Short-Term Fellowship allowing her to pursue her independently designed project studying hourglass treefrogs (Dendropsophus ebraccatus) during the summer! She spent 10 weeks in the rainforest working on her project testing female phonotaxis behavior, and while this required a lot of troubleshooting, she is very grateful to those that supported her and offered feedback. She also is extremely grateful for the invaluable support and guidance she received while she was hosted by the Bat Lab and the friendships she made during those 10 weeks. She hopes to return in the near future! Mariana & Amir presented posters at this summer’s neuroethology conference in Berlin! Too much science was consumed and no pictures were taken as evidence.
The Lab welcomes Nikki as our summer REU Student! She'll be exploring the expression of potassium receptor expression in the brain.  We are very excited to share that Kira has decided to join the lab after her rotation! Stay tuned for more news as she develops her thesis topic.
The lab headed out to the lake for a boat day to celebrate Mile’s successful defense and had a blast!  Kira Vasquez has started her rotation the lab through the Cellular and Molecular Biology program. We're very excited to have her visit us!
We’re so excited for Miles, who defended and walked out of here with his PhD! We can’t wait to see what great science he’ll do as Dr. Whedbee!
Maddie Gaasch and Eliza Fuhs have joined the lab as our summer 2023 REU students. Welcome to the team!
