We are honored to present Dr. Aditi Mishra @alien_nxt_door who defended a beautiful body of work on how solitary pollinators detect important objects in their environment. What a great start to an amazing career. Have fun with @anna_stoeckl at @UniKonstanz !

Congrats to @NanditaNataraj and team for our newest study in @FrontiersIn on high altitude chemical adaptations in Himalayan plants. We dedicate this to @ralex042, our friend and coauthor, whom we lost far too soon this May. frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

Please check out our newest article by @hinal_kharva providing an exciting new #hypothesis proposing a new mechanism for #evolution through neuromodulators that impact #brain development during metamorphosis and potentially host choices later in life!
Connecting neuromodulation, brain development, and life history timing associated with ecological speciation in Rhagoletis pomonella biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #bioRxiv

Our research is a feature article in this month's @AmSciMag! This article journeys from @Scientistinpink's days as a student at @Cornell and her work at @MPI_CE all the way to @NCBS_Bangalore with @Pvnkmrksk on #Insect #VR xitter.cf/AmSciMag/status/144797…
Birds are capable of a breathtaking range of behaviors. So are insects. So are we. Now live on our website, the November-December 2021 issue discusses all three, including humanity's prospects on our finite planet. americanscientist.org/magazi…

@gauri_gharpure and @gtgeetha are currently in the #Himalayas doing #neuroscience directly in field to understand how #insects respond to high altitudes. Here are the first recordings, and the first of their kind in the world! @NCBS_Bangalore @SfNtweets @ChemEcol_org
