In “The Science of Cats,” a course for senior biology majors, WashU students use what they’ve learned about evolution, ecology and behavior to get to know one of the most popular pet animals in America. 🐱 bit.ly/3MCaZ1L
We are excited to welcome Ben Mansfeld to Biology as our newest Assistant Professor!
Super stoked to be joining @WUSTLBio as an Assistant Professor! The lab will be focused on defense optimization in non-model plants - exploring the intersection of defense with circadian rhythm, ontogeny & development. Lots of genomes, transcriptomics, networks, & killing plants!
Congratulations to all of Biology's NSF-GRF recipients: @Cheyanderthal (grad student), Lauren Reena (undergrad), Raymond Castillo (incoming EEPB grad student), Ella Ludwig (alum), @ReuJackie (alum), Suyash Ray (alum) & @SavannahFuqua (alum).
Congratulations to graduate student Cheyenne Anderson on being awarded an NSF GRF!
