We have funding for a postdoc to work on the neurobiology and/or evolution of animal signals and recognition systems, focusing on paper wasps. Project possibilities include population, functional, and single-cell genomics approaches in an interesting non-model species.

Calling all entomology/ecology folks! I am starting @ecologysupplies! As an entomologist, I personally understand the gap being left behind by BioQuip closing, so I co-founded this company!
@EcologySupplies was created to fill a gap in the market left behind by BioQuip. Our mission is to provide high quality supplies to ecologists and entomologists in the USA. However, we require a better understanding of our customers' buying needs. This is where we need your help.
