Cool Texas fishes in need of further research

Project Lead:
Description:

Texas has three species of catfishes restricted to deep underground aquifers. They are fascinating creatures, potentially endangered, and hugely in need of diverse research. Though we currently have only limited…

Insects and their bacterial symbionts

Project Lead:
Description:

Nancy Moran's lab is seeking reliable undergraduate research assistants to help with experimental studies of insects and their bacterial symbionts. Please find the announcements below, and direct any questions to…

Evolution of a Social Decision-Making Network

Project Lead:
Description:

We have reconstructed the evolution of a neural social decision-making network across vertebrates and found that gene expression profiles in these behaviorally relevant brain regions are remarkably conserved. Our…
