The cat is out of the bag. Monarchs did it again! This time in Nat Geo. It’s been a privilege and lots of fun to support the amazing work of folks on this project - photographer Jaime Rojo, writer Michelle Nijhuis, graphist Brandon Shypkowski, and others... 🥰







MASSIVE congrats to Kayla Goforth Kayla Goforth in our lab for being named a Welch Postdoctoral Fellow of the Life Sciences Research Foundation! We are both over the moon and grateful to the Life Sciences Research Foundation and The Welch Foundation. Texas A&M University Texas A&M Arts & Sciences


Thanks for the write up Texas A&M Arts & Sciences! tx.ag/KaylaGoforth

Officially promoted to Professor! Huge thanks to my past and current lab members, my mentors, colleagues, all the letter writers behind the scene, and of course my partner in crime Jerome Menet, for their unwavering support. It truly takes a village…

Community outreach at 11/1 First Friday in Bryan TX entirely organized and run by my fantastic crew who spent the night engaging citizens with the iconic monarch migration. Last pic to celebrate the team success before we closed shop! Texas A&M Arts & Sciences TAMU Biology


TAMU Biology's Dr. Christine Merlin (The Monarchlab) gives her expertise on butterfly migrations in the Knowable Magazine article about tracking migration paths of butterflies using pollen! Her own work on monarch migration is also highlighted, take a look! knowablemagazine.org/content/articl…


Neuroscience going full circle with a “non-model organism renaissance”. Many thanks to The Transmitter for highlighting work from my lab on monarch butterflies!

The lab of Professor Christine Merlin (The Monarchlab) in TAMU Biology has been recognized by The Transmitter for pioneering research on monarch butterflies as non-model organisms in circadian and navigation studies! Read more: tx.ag/q3nSsBY
