I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n
Congrats to Dianshu for completing the #CSHLdros24 workshop! The insights gained will benefit Dianshu, my lab, and our #UFBugs community, including colleagues interested in applying fly techniques to non-model insects. Our sincere thanks to the organizers and selection committee.

Please RT! My lab at @UF has openings for a postdoc & a technician/postbac. We use cutting-edge techniques in Ca2+ imaging, optogenetics, behavior & connectomics to study neural circuits and feeding regulation in fruit flies. Pls email me if interested. yao-lab.com/join-us
Fun to share our research at the Incredible Insects Exhibit @FloridaMuseum! Glad our efforts made the news too!

Enjoyed a great visit to @UCDavisEntomolo and my shirt matches well with the iconic Entomology flag.
Had a nice lab BBQ gathering last week and bid farewell to our beloved visiting student Yi-Ting as she returned to Taiwan.
Luckily it did not rain until we were leaving. ☀️
A big thanks to Ariana for treating us homemade Chinese food on her last day before she transitions to the Doctor of Plant Medicine (DPM) @ufplantdoctors program. We'll miss you in the lab and your smile!
#EntSoc23 was GREAT! Big cheers to my students for presenting their work, including Yi-Ting who won second place in the student competition. @EntsocAmerica
Celebrating Chenia's NIH post-baccalaureate research award and Dianshu's first UF publication in @JournalSpectrum while he completed two years of TA service. Congrats!
Great PI and lab. Highly recommended!
Thanks to all lab members for the great gathering & baby shower for Saif's family last month. And we just learnt that the baby has arrived, congrats!

Yi-Ting Hung, a new visiting Ph.D. student from Taiwan, will work with the Wong lab using machine learning and statistical modeling to study the effects of diet and microbiome on insect behavior and metabolism.

Grateful for the opportunity to speak at the insect symbiosis workshop in Israel 🇮🇱! Learned so much about endosymbiosis and gut microbiota across different systems with a super friendly group... and had the best falafel ever! Thanks to the hosts for a fantastic event.
