People from my lab have published a super cool paper where mosquitoes got to choose between the scents of many humans at once - then they analyzed the scents to see which odorants correlated with mosquito attraction!
Have you ever wondered how mosquitoes find you over long distances and why they bite you more than other people? Check out our recent work published in @CurrentBiology led by @dags263 & @stephrankin2 in collaboration with the Macha Research Trust, Zambia. cell.com/current-biology/ful…

Congratulations Dr. Margot Wohl, a postdoc working in McMeniman Lab, 1 of 5 scientists awarded a L'Oreal USA Women in Science fellowship. The award supports her research that seeks to understand when and where mosquitoes lay their eggs. youtu.be/ZCpfsZwS26o via @YouTube

The 2022 @LOrealUSA For Women in Science Fellows have been named! These five innovative #WomenInScience will receive grants to advance their postdoctoral research. Congrats, @SikoTree @mathbikerchick @Brains_n_Bugs @SandyaPhD and Marina LaForgia! #FWIS2022 loreal.com/en/usa/news/commi…
And I appreciate a mentor that uses puns because he knows I like them and a program that cares about their postdocs!
It's National Postdoc Appreciation Week!!
A ***BIG*** shout out to @JohnsHopkinsMMI Postdoc Margot Wohl @RadScientistPod who works in Prof Conor McMeniman's Lab.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication, Margot!

In memory of E. O. Wilson, I encourage you to:
-go outside and appreciate nature
-remind others that anyone can be a scientist
-advocate for policies that protect our world’s precious biodiversity

As we catch up on the news about Texas's new abortion law, we think of Jane, a network of women who provided abortions before Roe v. Wade. Here's their story. ow.ly/U5yv50G2uQ9 @ACLU @PPFA #RoeVWade #SCOTUS

1st day co-teaching our graduate class “Indigenous Research & Ethics” @UAZPublicHealth. As a Yoeme scholar, I’m honored to Indigenize course content, challenge ourselves to rethink our research biases, amplify Indigenous scholarship & showcase how communities use data as activism

Two years ago, I asked hundreds of neuroscientists (including many of you!) at various levels about their skills and career trajectories.
Now, I can finally share some of those insights in my first senior author preprint, with Saloni Shah!

So grateful that @science_ari came on #NPRShortWave to share how chemistry helped them embrace all their identities. They MOVED ME TO TEARS WITH CHEMICAL BONDS Y'ALL. Just beautiful.

REMEMBER that conviction only happened because George Floyd’s family, the PEOPLE, marched, shouted, and risked everything. They tried to say that he died from “natural causes.” Remember that? It shouldn’t take all this to get the bare minimum of justice. And #WeAreDoneDying.

UCSD is increasing their rent costs 25-73% (!) for grad housing this summer, changing it from an affordable option to a rate on par with the rest of the expensive neighborhood it is situated in. this is going to deter so many prospective students from enrolling! this is horrible.

Excited for #BlackInEnto this week! I'm a PhD student at the University of Georgia and I currently study the gut bacteria of triatomines (aka kissing bugs, aka Rhodnius pallescens)! Outside of research I also love working with kids #RollCall #BlackEntomologists
