January 2022
  • Congratulations to Leslie for being named a 2021 Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). She is being recognized for her “distinguished contributions to the fields of evolutionary developmental biology (evo devo) and insect biology, particularly the role of Hox genes in embryogenesis and organismal diversification.” In February, Leslie will be awarded at the AAAS Annual Meeting. Here is the full CMNS press release and here is the AAAS press release.
  • We've been thrilled to have 3 students from the MOCB program rotate in our lab this year, Maria Rife, Savanna Lyda, and Miriam Flynn. 
December 2021
  • Wishing Alys the very best as she begins her new position as a research scientist at HHMI Janelia research campus in David Sterns group. We miss you already!
November 2021
  • Congratulations to Alys, Catherine, and Leslie for their recent publication in the Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution entitled "Anterior-posterior patterning of segments in Anopheles stephensi offers insights into the transition from sequential to simultaneous segmentation in holometabolous insects".
