A "cold call" email to neuroscientists led to a 2-year research collaboration and mentorship, with a high school senior at the helm, culminating in a poster presentation at #CNS2023. Read more: cogneurosociety.org/mentorsh…

MARC student Izzy R. took first place in her category in the Golden Gate STEM Fair. Her project, Monarch Butterflies & Long Term Abundance Patterns of Asclepias curassavica, also earned her the National Geographic Award.

Museum collections provide some of the most important data to help us understand and predict what is happening under a changing climate. However, our collections pre-date electronic databases by hundreds of years so how do we know what we have?

Sea ice is a key habitat that structures #Antarctic marine ecosystems and drives Southern Ocean biogeochemical cycles. We model what changes in sea-ice extent, thickness and duration mean for algae, copepods, krill, salps and fish🧊🦠🦐🐟

Study from Kittlesberger group at @gettysburg showing injections of DA into PAG in midshipman fish inhibit vocalizations

ALT Figure 2 from paper. Dopamine injections to the PAG rapidly reduced stimulus-evoked vocal response probability, but did not significantly influence other vocal output parameters. Left column shows line plots of measured parameter versus time post-injection, right column shows bar plots, mean across treatment. There is a clear drop in vocal response probability post-injection of dopamine but no change in other measured parameters, that are duration, latency, and frequency.

Excited to share recent work where we use a social–ecological lens to elucidate the ways in which oft neglected negative human histories drive landscape change and influence conservation practice.

The Marin Academy Research Collective (MARC) had the opportunity to visit Bonnie Bee & Company, a local business that provides classes and workshops about beekeeping education. 🐝 🍯 The company takes a science-informed approach to beekeeping and bee conservation.

Tadpole transport, piggyback style, is a #poisonfrogs’ trademark, but does it compromise the efficacy of the carrier’s warning signal? According to this new study led by @mariaptoro, it seems that’s the case! Beautiful #cienciacriolla out now in @evoecology 🤩 @carvajaljcastro
