We are excited to welcome two new PhD students to the lab. Tom Rundell and Christie Santoro joined this summer and are doing great.
Christie is benchmarking a heart pacing assay and and Tom is working on establishing populations we got from the Ayroles lab for a high sugar experimental evolution experiment.
Laura was thrilled to receive a call from the NIDDK last week regarding the funding of her R15 proposal entitled “Laboratory Selection for Drosophila Melanogaster Genetic Variants that Confer Increased Survival on a Diabetogenic Diet.”
Yesterday, Dr. Musselman gave a guest lecture in “Darwinian Medicine” (Anthropology 248) describing the use of Drosophila in transgenerational models of inherited disease. It was great chatting with new folks in Anthro!
