Applications for our new UCF College of Sciences UCF Dept of Biology #REU in conservation, restoration and communication can be submitted starting tomorrow! Undergrads interested in working with me and Savage Lab on herp diseases, or numerous other amazing researchers and taxa, please apply!

Like frogs 🐸? Interested in disease 🦠?   Come work with Anna Savage and Savage Lab this summer as a paid #NSF #REU student.   The 🐸 we study are tiny & huge, native and invasive, aquatic 💦 & terrestrial 🌳, genetically 🧬 diverse & depleted….and full of pathogens🦠!

We're so proud of our undergraduates who presented their research yesterday and today at the UCF UG Research Student Scholar Symposium! Well done all of you!

Congratulations to first year PhD student Erin Brosnan who received a #NSFGRFP honorable mention! We're so proud of you Erin! This is a huge accomplishment and a testament to the viability and merit of your dissertation. We can't wait to see what you do 🐸 UCF Dept of Biology

Nearly a semester’s worth of labwork by the 2022 cohort of UCF Genomics students, distilled into 10 uL. Almost 460 metabarcoding libraries, ready for the MiSeq 😆

We are looking for a PhD student for an NSF-funded project on amphibian pathogen spread through trade networks. 2+ years of stipend support and research funding available. The student will conduct lab experiments with commonly-traded species. Interested? Pls send CV ASAP

#DNAmetabarcoding for the win! So much exciting #eDNA work happening, including #microbiome and #foragingecology 🧬 Thanks to my awesome co-authors: Anna Savage Savage Lab Michelle R. Gaither @BrandonHoenig academic.oup.com/icb/advance-ar…

Our fearless leader Anna Savage of the Savage Lab presenting a keynote talk on Bd and Immunogenetics #GARD2022

We had an amazing week at #GARD2022 with three grad student talks/posters and a keynote by PI Savage! It was great seeing everyone and hearing about all the science happening to understand and combat amphibian and reptile disease 🐸🐢🐍

Undergrads & new grad students - NOW is the time to start thinking about applying for the @nsf GRFP! A thread of advice I've accumulated on how to write a successful application...🧵 #AcademicChatter #phdchat #NSFfunded #STEM #scicomm #sciencetwitter #NSFGRFP 1/20

I am hosting a pentastome webinar with PARC in mid-late May (exact date TBD). I’ll share the link and details once I have them but… what are some questions you want answered about pentastomes in North American snakes?

So incredibly pleased for Katie who won this well-deserved award for her JMIH talk on sea turtle MHC evolution!

What a day for Savage Lab! Congrats to Matt for this #JMIH award recognizing his dissertation work on Perkinsea disease in FL frogs. See his paper out in Journal of Animal Ecology last week for more details 😍
