Congrats to Andrew Butts in the @thecaronlab.bsky.social lab for both defending his PhD and for fully taking advantage of #mayfourth! #starwars 🧠 🧪
PhD defended! 🎓 Eva Vigato explored how neural circuits shape olfactory attraction in #Drosophila—linking brain wiring to ecological interactions like yeast-derived odor cues. Congrats, Eva!

Excited to share my most recent postdoctoral work in the Jeanne lab @yaleneuro.bsky.social !
“Sensory processing reformats odor coding around valence and dynamics”
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
We ask: how is a sensory code transformed across multiple stages of processing to inform behavior?
Thrilled to finally share the magnum opus of my PhD that focuses on the genetic basis of evolutionary change! Specifically, we know we can map the genetic basis of a trait, but can we tell which genes will underlie the trait shift when it evolves? doi.org/10.1101/2025...
Reminder for neuro postdocs on the market - apply for this soon! Emory Biology is a fantastic place to start a lab

Genome of the Abominable Snowfly uncovers the mysteries of cold tolerance in a winter active insect! New cool (literally) paper in @currentbiology.bsky.social from Marco Gallio, @matthewcapek.bsky.social, @tuthill.bsky.social, myself, and fine colleagues! ⛄ 🦟

Extracting relevant features of a complex sensory signal typically involves sequential processing through multiple brain regions. However, identifying the logic and mechanisms of these transformations...
The extent to which adaptation can be predicted, particularly for traits with complex genetic bases, is unknown. Here, we leveraged a model complex trait, model species, and high-powered longitudinal ...
<p>In this webinar, the speaker will cover data visualization in MATLAB for new users and brush up on topics for those who are familiar with MATLAB coding. </p>
My department at Emory is a hiring a tenure-track neuroscientist!
Anyone who's talked to me in the last 4 years knows I cannot say enough good things about my dept and the neuroscience community here. My colleagues are so wonderfully supportive. Postdocs, please apply!
