- Congrats to HHMI Freeman Hrabowski Scholars @channyskye.bsky.social , Josefina del Mármol (@delmarmollab.bsky.social), @yvetteefisher.bsky.social and Theanne Griffith (@doctheagrif.bsky.social), named 2025 McKnight Scholars for their demonstrated commitment to neuroscience & mentoring others! 🌟
- New preprint in the lab combining what we like best: insects, love, chemistry and the olfactory system! 1/8 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Male moths find their mating partners by sniffing out a signature compound emitted by receptive females - and telling it apart from compounds emitted by other species. 2/8
- These volatile love signals, called pheromones, are the quintessential example of olfactory accuracy: moths must detect and discriminate compounds that differ by as little as a hydrogen atom. 3/8
