#sicb2023 — Public Fediverse posts

I'm super excited to say that I am the new SICB Division of Phylogenetics & Comparative Biology Student/Postdoc Rep!

I'll be working with the division & @SICB to put on ECR-focused programming & be a resource for ECRs.

My job in this role is to support YOU: feel free to reach out w/ what the division & I can do for you!

Our lab presentations at #SICB2023

Ranny’s talk: Comparative transcriptomics reveals sex-specific differences in #Platynereis dumerilii (Tomorrow, Jan 4th)

Bria’s talk: The cost or payout of #regeneration on growth and sexual maturation in Platynereis dumerilii (Tomorrow, 4th)

Duygu’s talk: Single-cell transcriptomics reveal specific gut regions in a freshwater #annelid (Thursday, 5th)

Ryan’s poster: Automating design of #fluorescent in situ probes for big data sets (Friday, 6th)

Excited to hit up #OutGroup at #SICB2023 this evening! honestly I'm super pumped for a social in a well lit room where I can actually, y'know, talk to people and hear what they're saying.

For anyone attending the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (#SICB2023) meeting in Austin this week, I will sadly not be there, but we have two talks from the lab!

On 1/7 (8 AM), Dr. Sweta Agrawal (lab alumnus as of 2 days ago, as she just left to start her own lab at Virginia Tech) will be presenting on a comprehensive (and comprehensible) analysis of the synaptic connectivity of neural circuits downstream of fly leg proprioceptors.

On 1/6 (11:30 AM), Dr. Chris Dallmann (post-doc) will be presenting on behavioral state-dependent presynaptic inhibition of proprioceptor axons in walking flies.

#SICB (at Disney World) was the first scientific meeting I attended as an undergraduate and it holds a special place in my heart. I love the diversity of animals represented: consecutive talks and neighboring posters are often about the same scientific topic, but almost never studied in the same species.

Getting really jazzed for #SICB2023 as I'm working on my talk. I have no idea if anyone else is working with #PoseEstimation in a more eco-evo space, but I'm really excited by its potential for high throughput behavior analysis in a totally species-agnostic context. If anyone else playing with this technique is going to SICB this year, please hit me up so we can have lunch or chat!
