North America’s Wasp Mantisfly, Climaciella brunnea, is not a wasp, nor a mantis, nor a fly, but a species of lacewing.

My #introduction. I run a small not-for profit research organization that depends on writing grants and publishing papers for its success. I guess you call that a #laboratory and I’m the PI. We study somatosensation, primarily in the #drosophila larva. Our main focus has been on pain and #nociception. We also study parasitoid wasps and larval defenses against them. I’m also into #cycling and #sailing and I once did a #seabattical in the #Caribbean. Current post is at #IndianaUniversity.

Here comes the #Introduction. I am a postdoc original from #Colombia interested in #insects, #evodevo #genetics 🧬 and #patterning.

I work with butterfly 🦋 color patterns as a model to study #wnt #signaling, #generegulation, and #morphological evolution. Connecting the #genotype to the #phenotype is the goal!!!

I am a #Latina, working at GWU, in DC. #FirstGen

Done tons of #CRISPR experiments in different species of #Lepidoptera

Hey science journalists, we've got two 12-month (parental cover) reporter positions open with Nature in London - more info & application at https://careers.springernature.com/job/London-Reporter-or-Senior-Reporter,-Nature/866455301/

#Introduction:
I am a climate scientist with interests in better understanding historical changes in climate and extreme weather. Also think about future climate-related risks, among other topics: http://www.edhawkins.org

One key approach in this research is using citizen science to recover millions of lost weather observations, such as: http://www.WeatherRescue.org

I dabble in climate dataviz too, including the Climate Stripes: http://www.ShowYourStripes.info

All scientists are often wrong. The advantage of youth is that you are not stuck in fixed ways of thinking about things, as can happen when you get older.

Meet the Silver-studded Blue (Plebejus argus). This butterfly has an incredible relationship with ants!

As a caterpillar, it attracts ants by producing sugary liquid & amino acids from a special gland & pores. In return, the ants look after the caterpillar, protecting it from predators & even allowing it to shelter inside their nest. The caterpillar pupates inside or near to the nest, with a protective swarm of ants surrounding the newly emerged butterfly until its wings have fully expanded.

Hello People! #introduction

I am a Post-doc wrapping up its PhD at the Max-Plank Institute for Cell Biology and Genetics. I am currently working on #CellBiology, studying liver architecture establishment during mouse #development. #DevBio

I mainly use microscopy and cell culture to understand how cells establish their polarity and contribute to overall tissue organization. I'm interested in #ImageAnalysis and always looking forward to learning more on this topic.

We recently found lower blood oxygenation and #neurovascular function in the #hippocampus compared to #neocortex, which might explain why the hippocampus is sensitive to hypoxia and affected early in Alzheimer’s disease: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-23508-y. 2/4

Hey people! Time for an #introduction! I lead a research group at the University of Sussex, UK. I’m interested in how the #brain controls its #blood flow, and what happens in the brain when there is a slight disruption in this energy supply, as happens before people develop symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. We image neurons, glia and blood vessels in mouse brain to try to understand what they do in different situations and when they go wrong. 1/4
