I was asked for a short bio for a Yale student first gen low income group. Here it is in multiple parts.
When I was born my parents were teenagers and neither had yet finished high school.

In a name-your-poison twist, a new study from the University of Illinois adds to the evidence that Chicago-area waterway pollution is slowing the relentless advance of the invasive silver carp. trib.al/IIvV50h

Out now in @CurrentBiology, our new paper identifies an olfactory receptor that mediates male attraction to females, but enforces avoidance of parental care. A thread that leads to an unexpected twist in regulation of social behavior! cell.com/current-biology/ful…

20 years ago today, Dave Matthews Band's tour bus emptied its septic tank over the Chicago River, drenching unsuspecting tourists on a boat tour with 800 pounds of human waste.

Maybe you knew that all female clownfish were once male 🐠🤯 Sex change is a huge transformation for the whole fish, which made us wonder...
When a fish changes sex, what changes in the brain 🧠?? If you're wondering too, our new paper has some answers 🥳 rdcu.be/dO429

I love ‘Finding Nemo’ but it is not biologically accurate. Marlin should have become female (Marlene?).
This amazing paper reveals some of the molecular mechanisms by which this sex change occurs. 👇👇👇
once a preprint, how published! our #singlecell atlas of the clownfish forebrain, exploring #sexdifferences in a sex-changing fish. #OpenAccess in @BiologySexDiff rdcu.be/dO429

Clownfish can change sex as adults (!) bringing major change to social behavior (aggression, parenting)
Canon predicts behavioral sex change should be rapid... but in my latest (out now in H&B @SBNTweets) we find the opposite
Why, and why it matters 🧵👇

Yo, biopeeps, try this instead. It be free and not whatever the actual fuck biorender decided to implement in its ToS. If we contribute to BioIcons we can be free of this IP extortion.

I haven't read this paper yet and so can't speak to the quality, but this is *the* crossover event I've been waiting for for years now; single-cell transcriptomics and discrete differential geometry - a match made in heaven! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

Please share! My lab will be hiring 2-3 postdocs over the coming months to study the genetic basis of behavioral traits in darters using brain transcriptomics & population genomics. First ad is posted here: tamus.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/… #behavior #popgen #evolution #neuroethology

It is with an unbelievably heavy heart that I write that my husband, best friend, and partner in crime for 20 years, Larry Young, passed away unexpectedly. I will share details regarding a memorial service once I know something. Please share with those who knew Larry @lyoun03

This is a true loss to our community.
Well-informed residents are essential to democracy, and good government is harder to accomplish without rigorous public examination and discussion of what we do. The absence of @dcist will be heartfelt by all of us.
