Congratulations to DNNSB Best Student Talk Runner-up Dana Lim! Dana uses behavioral assays to investigate magnetic sensing in young Loggerhead sea turtles. Specifically, Dana is interested the physical bases of magnetoreception and the development of adaptive responses to magnetic field cues.
Congratulations to DNNSB Best Student Poster (Undergraduate student) winner Madeline Nobert! Madeline studies the neurological mechanics of flight in the the Carolina Sphinx Hawkmoth using intracellular electrophysiology to understand how surface strain sensors react to flappying movements!
Congratulations to DNNSB Best Student Poster (Graduate student) winner Nichole Procter! Nichole studies how non-light environmental cues, such as social cues, interact to influence circadian gene expression in green tree frogs!
Congratulations to DNNSB Best Student Talk Award winner, Alex Gurgis (@alexgurgis.bsky.social)! Alex studies the evolution fo arthropod brains to better understand common patterns in neural circuitry and how changes in the brain can support species-specific behaviors!
