Interested in Evo-Devo and exciting phenotypes in non-model systems? My lab @BiologyTTU with @ArjunaRajakumar is looking for a fully-funded #postdoc to work on a 4-year project on the developmental genetic basis and evolution of obligate sterility in ants. Please RT!

Can you beelieve it? Today we cross 200 species on @thednazoo and release 17 sweat bee genome assemblies together with @KocherLab! Read more in blog post below, links to a preprint & twittorial included: dnazoo.org/post/17-beeutiful…

17 beeutiful genome assemblies

Sweat bees (Hymenoptera: Halictidae) encompass a wide range of social behaviors, from solitary individuals that live and reproduce independently to eusocial colonies with overlapping generations and...

Augochlora pura. Female. The back or, more specifically, the scutum as we would say in bee technospeak. The pits are equally spaced and the surface is equally smooth. Augochlorella, on the hand does not have a uniform plain of pits and smooth surface.

Excited to share some of my PhD work (aided by many wonderful collaborators) in eLife. Barcode-enabled behavioral tracking, brain gene expression, chromatin accessibility, and individualized gene regulatory networks for honey bee workers.
eLife - the journal@eLife5 Jan 2021
By combining genomics and behavioural tracking of honey bees, scientists have provided insights into how brain gene regulatory networks influence behavioural variation, with implications for social evolution elifesciences.org/articles/6…

Hey, I’m Kennedy, a little bit late on #BlackInNeuroRollCall. I’m a 1st year grad student at Princeton studying how agnostic & affiliative experiences in sweat bees modulate expression of Biogenic Amines in the brain region & it’s downstream effects on behavior. 🤛🏿🧠#BlackInNeuro
