Raul won the best student poster award in the Division of Evolutionary Developmental Biology at at this year’s SICB in Austin! Way to go, Raul!
Mandy presents her research at SICB
Mandy presented a poster that builds of her recent discovery that tardigrade legs only exhibit distal identity relative to the legs of onychophorans and arthropods. Her recent work has focused on additional candidate leg patterning genes. Her results reinforce just how weird tardigrades are.
Raul presents his research at SICB
Raul presented results of his recent investigation into canonical Wnt signaling in tardigrades. Results of his study have important implications for the evolution of the tardigrade body plan. Raul has only been part of the Smith Lab for a year, and has collected embryonic expression data for nearly all of …
Ariana presents her research at SICB
Ariana presented the results of her REU project from last summer at SICB. She made several important discoveries about gut patterning in tardigrades in just a short 10 week period. Mandy, Raul, and Frank were very happy to get to spend a few days with Ariana before she heads back …
The Smith Lab attends SICB 2020 in Austin, TX
We had a great time at SICB this year. Austin was a lot of fun. It was great catching up with the Evo-Devo community. We saw some very interesting and thought provoking talks and posters. Most importantly, Ariana, Mandy, and Raul all gave excellent poster presentations!
