During these uncertain times, Iโ€™m very happy to see that my institution, @scripps.edu has an open tenure-track Assistant Professor position. Any field in Chemistry or Biology is welcome. Iโ€™d especially love to see fellow neuroscientists apply. Please repost!

Congratulations to former Ph.D. student Dr. Julianne Pelรกez, who has been awarded a Hanna Gray Fellowship @hhmi.bsky.social to work with Professor Paul Garrity at Brandeis on mosquitoes! Julianne is richly deserving of this award and continues to amaze me with her science. So proud of you Julianne!

How do mosquitoes find people to bite & places to lay eggs? Turns out, sensing water vapor is key. In new work we (Tang et al.) ID mosquito receptors for dry/moist air. KO'ing them drops blood feeding and renders females unable to find water to lay eggs.

to paraphrase zonker harris: those 8 years as an assistant professor at MIT are really starting to pay off
