Highly recommend for anyone who’s interested in doing postdoc at Princeton! Generous support in and out of the lab!

Imagine if you woke up this morning and found that the NIH-funded database that holds all of the data that you and thousands of other scientists around the world consult every day was turned off. Gone. Despite many efforts by a community of scientists to lobby NIH NIH Director

I am very excited to share that our lab will be moving to Princeton University in January of 2025! We will be in the new Bioengineering Institute Omenn-Darling Bioengineering Institute & the Princeton Neuroscience Institute Institute. I'm excited for new research directions at the interface of these two fantastic groups! (1/2)

Welcome aboard Yuki Haba. From working with mosquitoes in grad school at Princeton w Lindy McBride, to now the first postdoc in my lab to work with naked mole rats. I’m excited to explore some of the cool ideas we have!

Anopheles nili reference genome! NO COLD CHAIN! 🚫🧊This genome depended on samples that took a week to get from Cameroon to the UK and they were not shipped on ice -- the magic is light squishing in ethanol. One mosquito for DNA and one for Hi-C = scaffold N50 of 75 Mb 🧬🦟

New year new work from the lab! We explore whether aggression experience and observation lead to similar changes in future aggression strategy. (They do!) We perform 2-color imaging across the whole social behavior network across time and track changes biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The London Underground Mosquito lives underground, feeds on mammal blood & breeds in confined spaces - has it evolved in 200 years, or does it have a longer history? Research on genomes Yuki Haba &al Dr Erica McAlister suggests older Middle East origins doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

🦟 Mosquitoes and Urban Evolution 🏙️Proud to contribute to this international study on #Culex pipiens published in nature! nature.com/articles/d4158… 🌍🔬 Our analysis reveals that the "London Underground mosquito"......👀👇 📑 Preprint can be found here: doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

✨🦟✨HOW DO MOSQUITOES HAVE SEX? ✨🦟✨ Join us for a wild journey into female control, rapidly evolving genital stimulation, fierce species competition, and DEADLY MOSQUITOES! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Honored and grateful for this generous, long-term support by NYAS and Leon Levy foundation. Very excited also to be a part of the vibrant community of neuroscientists in NYC - many inspiring talks and discussions at the annual symposium a few weeks ago!

New preprint on bioRxiv! Read our story on how diurnal mosquitoes “stay up late” to search for an egg-laying site! Huge thanks to Laura B Duvall for letting me do quirky science and Elisabeth Bradford for doing quirky science (and crosswords) with me! doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…
