First weekly lab check-in to maintain contact and mental health during self-isolation imposed by covid-19

Noah’s paper on the ecological and genomic drivers of human-biting in mosquitoes is now live on bioRxiv. The lab’s first preprint!

Zhilei’s review on the Evolution of Olfactory Circuits in Insects is now available online #OPEN ACCESS

Gorgeous day for the lab’s first annual winter hike in the New Jersey Pine Barrens!

Congratulations to Elisha Adaui for passing his general exam! Elisha will be using scRNAseq to examine patterns of chemoreceptor expression in mosquito antennae.

Sad to say goodbye to Alexis and David here at our going-away picnic. They are off to grad school! But also happy to welcome Summer Kotb, Jaskiran Kaur, Alex Colón, and Jess Breda (and Azwad Iqbal and Eliza Ewing who couldn’t make it).

The McBride lab listens to Lindy answer questions on NPR’s Science Friday with Ira Flatow. So much fun!

Congratulations to Yuki Haba for passing his general exam! We can’t wait to see how his exciting projects on Culex pipiens population genomics and host preference develop.

The McBride lab rocked the annual Dept of Ecology and Evolution Eno Mile with staff, students, postdocs, and PI all represented!

Check out this bad ass, flexible, odor collection chamber designed by student Jessica Zung.
