That’s a wrap for the #amphibian #frog vision symposium! #JMIH23 SSAR Rayna Bell Jeffrey W. Streicher

So this is a thing

Chris & I have been working on this book project for several years

Apparently it's available for pre-order!

Wonderful work from phenomenal contributors in this book! 💜

I was fortunate to participate in the awesome whiptail symposium at #JMIH2022 . What an awesome and group of scientists with so many rich opportunities for collaboration! @rcthomson @katcurrie @R_Klabacka

Did you know UTA has Texas largest herpetological collection and 10th largest in the US. @utaherpetology gave a wonderful tour and shared the exciting research collection we have supporting researchers around the world. UTA Biology

New🐸👀paper out in BMC Biology w/
Rayna Bell Matthew Fujita. We found large changes in eye gene expression as leopard🐸s shift from aquatic tadpoles to terrestrial juveniles associated with improved vision in these distinct environments

🐠REMINDER!!🦎 If you are a student and a member of ASIH, don't forget to apply for the Cashner Award! Quick app & a lottery system for choosing awardees who receive meeting/travel support and membership dues for the year. Deadline is April 30th! tinyurl.com/496585yv

Keeping the good vibes going...had my final dissertation chapter accepted for publication at Journal of Heredity American Genetic Association. In it we look use RNAseq to look for possible pathways and genes involved in toxin biosynthesis in true toads. academic.oup.com/jhered/advance…

'Transcriptomic analysis reveals potential candidate pathways and genes involved in toxin ☠️ biosynthesis in true toads 🐸'

based on #RNAseq data from parotoid gland of 10 🇺🇸 toad species.
