Our @BucknellU students got a chance to tour the @mcgrawlab today and learn all about their amazing research (and be envious of their awesome infectious disease research center!!) Thanks you for a great visit - you inspired many of our undergrads!! @SukLanSer @DrMozzieFhal

It's been amazing to see the progress you can make in one semester even when this is their very first biology class. And I'd love to learn more about what other school are doing!!

@CURENet1 @MartineBotany @G_Pask @ProfKenField @Brain_daddy_PhD @helpmedrzaius @BucknellU Biology we just finished year two of requiring a 1st year CURE for all Biology majors - standalone (no lecture), instructor specific topics with up to 16 students per section, 4-5 hour a week in lab. It's been so rewarding for all the reasons #CUREs are awesome!

Excited about our @G_Pask @EarthMechanic new preprint - the winter firefly pheromone that we identified is effective both in the field and the lab...males persist, even when the footing is a bit unstable (understatement). #FireflyFriday #teamFIREmones
