Congratulations, Jenn! Link is here.
Congratulations to Mira McLain for earning High Distinction in Integrative Biology!
Mira worked with Colby to carry out a super cool undergrad distinction project. She found that male sticklebacks prioritize territory defense over courtship, and this decision-making is related to gene expression in the brain. Congratulations, Mira!
Looking for postdocs to join the lab!
The Bell lab is looking for postdocs to work on genomic, molecular and/or neural mechanisms of paternal care in threespine sticklebacks. Candidates with experience in single cell transcriptomics, brain injections, functional manipulations, and/or viral-mediated delivery of transgenic constructs are especially encouraged to apply. A strong background in neurobiology, molecular biology, genomics, behavioral ecology and/or evolution …
