The lab is hiring! We have a 4-year NSF funded postdoctoral position to move the needle on the molecular bases of seasonal rhythms/photoperiodism using the charismatic monarch butterfly as a model and cutting-edge approaches (CRISPR, scRNA-seq,...). Details below. Please 🔃
Great opportunity!
My lab will soon be reruiting a postdoc to work on the molecular bases of seasonal rhythms/photoperiodism in monarchs. CRISPR mutants/Bulk RNA-seq/scRNA-seq/bioinformatics on the menu, among many other great things. Email me if interested [email protected]

Congrats Kira!
This is so great and I’m super happy for you!!
@kedelmore is the FIRST faculty to win a NSF CAREER in the history of @TAMU_Biology 🥳🥰.
Please, join me in making some well-deserved noise about it @TAMU_CBCR, @TAMUScience, @TAMU and retweet!!
She is recruiting to work on really cool projects!

Hot off the press 🥳! A study from our lab reveals that the monarch butterfly light sensitive Cryptochrome 1 - but not the mammalian-like Cryptochrome 2 - mediates light-dependent magnetosensing of the Earth's magnetic field inclination disq.us/t/3umqeo5

The Circadian #2021resolutions anyone can use.
* 8 h in bed
* Wait for >1 h before first calorie.
* Eat within a consistent window of 8-10 h; no longer than 12 h.
* >30min outdoor activity under daylight.
* No food, no bright light for 2 h before bedtime.
REPEAT.
Excited to share the latest story from the lab led by Ben Greenwell @b_gwell.
We looked at alternative polyadenylation (APA) in the context of #circadian rhythms, and found that rhythmic gene expression is largely APA isoform specific. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Based on these and other results, we next examined if genes could exhibit rhythms in relative 3’ UTR length.
Hundreds of genes show a rhythm in 3' UTR length with shorter 3' UTR at dusk, mostly b/c distal APA isoforms preferentially peak at dawn while others peak at dusk.

Please RT! We have a postdoc position available at my lab for studying the role of circRNA in aging. We have exciting results and look for strong candidates with knowledge of biochemistry and/or genetics and which are eager to learn about circular RNAs.
