Did you know monkeys form social networks similar to humans? Surprisingly, the social behavior of monkeys may give us insight into human social behavior! @NRCjulie @gene_micro_lab @NaturalSciences
We're working with the NC Museum of Natural Sciences Veterinary Sciences group & collaborators at NCSU on our new Reptile blood workflow!
They have Nucleated Red Blood Cells!!! Check it out!

We were honored to bring the Monkey Health Explorer project to teachers in Cherokee, North Carolina! #STEMeducation
Join us today at 5pm ET for the highlight of Monkey Health Explorer during the 12-Hour #OneMillionActsofScience Palooza at SciStarter. Go to scistarter.org/the-12-hour-s… @NaturalSciences @SciStarter @gene_micro_lab
Our Monkey Health Explorers contributed 1272 classifications yesterday towards the #OneMillionActsofScience for April! 🥳
If we average that much throughout April, we'll have added ~39,432 total! Let's see if we can keep it up! @NaturalSciences @SciStarter @ncscifest

Meet Dr. Bill Studabaker. Bill started volunteering in the lab in 2019 and has more recently taken on the role of a part-time researcher! His background is primarily in chemistry, but he wanted to get experience working with genomic datasets.
