Dr. Eryn Slankster (Postdoc in the Mathew Lab) was invited to present a platform talk during the Neural Circuits and Behavior session at the 2019 Annual Drosophila Conference in Dallas, TX. Suffice to say that she did a great job!
Dennis presented a poster at Achems 2019 in Bonita Springs, FL.
Congratulations to Dennis (Co-PI) and our collaborator, Dr. Annie Leonard (PI) for securing a USDA grant ($431, 899, 3 years) to study how neonicotinoid pesticides affect the sensory mechanisms underlying wild bee nutrition.
We are really excited for this collaboration with the Leonard lab!
Congratulations to Dennis (Co-PI) and our collaborator, Dr. Andrew Nuss (Asst. Prof., ANVS, UNR) (PI) for securing a Dept. of Defense grant ($500,000, 2 years) to study mosquito olfaction!!! Read more about it here:

Congratulations to Kristen Hess for winning a research grant from the Beta Beta Beta Research Foundation!
Kristen is a Junior at UNR and is conducting research in the Mathew Lab. Way to go, Kristen!
Congratulations to Gunnar Newquist, Alex Novenschi, and Donovan Kohler on the recent publication of a research article in the journal eNeuro (eneuro.org). The title of the article is: Differential contributions of Olfactory Receptor Neurons in a Drosophila olfactory circuit.
Donovan and Alex are undergraduates (sophomores!) in the lab!
This is a fantastic accomplishment for our lab and we are looking forward to many more publications in the future!
