About the blog author James Walts (He/Him/His) is an accelerated bachelor’s/master’s (ABM) student at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He is currently studying the effects of phosphorylation of an essential to life protein (HP1a) in Drosophila melanogaster in Dr. Nicole Riddle’s lab. He is interested in exploring more aspects of research to better […]
About the Blog authors Joseane Moreira do Nascimento is a postdoc and Jorden Maglov is a PhD student, both from the Grbic lab at Western University. They study all things two-spotted spider mite – TSSM (Tetranychus urticae) genetics. Their research investigates how molecular tools (such as RNAi) can be used to control TSSM crop […]
About the author Dr. Jae Young Choi was a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Dr. Michael Puruggan at New York University.
