I'm really happy to share the first preprint of my PhD work in @jjfosterlab.bsky.social! During a fruitful collaboration with @gregoeur.bsky.social, we uncovered a surprising feature of bees' eyes!

Our findings on bees' photoreceptors are now officially published in Biology Letters of the Royal Society Publishing!! Thanks again for a productive collaboration @jjfosterlab.bsky.social and @gregoeur.bsky.social !!

Bees have thousands of eyes
And some are made to look directly into the sun.

I am excited to share our new paper on anchovy retina connectomics! This was a great collaboration with Prof. Heß at LMU Munich and an incredible opportunity to explore neural circuitry in a unique visual system.

Horizontal cell connectivity in the anchovy retina—a 3D electron microscopic study - BMC Biology
Background Block-face scanning electron microscopy has opened a new era of connectomics research, in which it is possible to make dense reconstructions of all cells in a clipping of a neuronal network...

How do SVs, satellite DNA & gene content shape avian genome evolution? We analyzed 45 HiFi genomes across 3 Scrub-Jay species with distinct population sizes. Grateful to be on this incredible team led by Scott Edwards! "Comparative population pangenomes" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We're making a new WhereDoGGo logo.
After discussions, we decided to stop using the ASCII art representation of a certain Shiba Inu.
Please send us portraits of your doggos, so we can generate a new logo. The plan is to rotate with every major version.
