A little delayed on posting this due to the holidays, but my 2nd dissertation chapter is officially published! We found that one of two common antiparasitics we tested changed the mouse gut microbiota. Check out the full paper: academic.oup.com/jid/advance…

APOPO is training HeroRATs for Search & Rescue. The rats have a great sense of smell, and can move through small spaces to search for survivors. The basic behavioral sequence is: search for victim, pull ball to communicate victim has been found, then return to trainer for reward.

New paper alert! Tess publishes another chapter of her thesis in Molecular Ecology Resources. In this study, we assessed the accuracy of plant metabarcoding for diet determination in non-ruminant herbivores. Go Tess and coauthors!

Congratulations to graduate student @mdoolin23 for her recent @nanostringtech grant award! This will be used to gain a more complex dataset to understand host response to parasite infection, with varied microbiome starting points. 🎉

Congratulations to post-doc Sara Weinstein on her recent publication on African crested rats! Great video below, and check out the paper too: tinyurl.com/y4fjvn6m
Poisonous rats on your 2020 bingo card? The African crested rat looks adorable, but its fur is packed with lethal poison. A new study discovered that they also have rich social lives.
