The Biology Graduate Students Association organized the annual research symposium for the department and Andreia from our lab served on the organizing committee (great job!). We had some nice talks from the lab: Matt gave the newest results from a cool foraging experiment on bees and Lynnsey gave a nice overview of her project comparing long term memory and anesthesia-resistant memory in our evolved flies. Hannah won the undergrad section of the 3 minute competition and, among other interesting prizes, got a salad shaker for the second consecutive year. Impressive. Finally, Ben and Itachi got to show off their posters to department colleagues. Nice day of science.

We just got back from the Animal Behavior Society Meeting in Columbia, MO. The drive was short and the science was great. Michael, Hannah, and Lynnsey attended talks, and we had some great posters from Matt, Itachi, Christy, and Ben. Aimee gave a talk about Mellissa’s thesis work.
Congratulations to Isabel Rojas-Ferrer on the successful defense of her master’s thesis! She gave a great talk, her committee was happy, and no blood was spilled in the process.
