Welcome new students!

We are thrilled and excited to announce that several new students have joined the Meuti Lab!

Matt Wolkoff has joined as a PhD student, and will be working on our recently-funded NSF project to generate mosquitoes with broken and altered circadian clocks using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing.

 

 

 

Hannah Tronetti, a Junior majoring in Animal Science, will work with Graduate Student Lydia Fyie, and Megan to determine how urban heat islands might affect the diapause response in Northern house mosquitoes.

 

 

 

 

Sydney Robare and Lucas Sarko, who are both currently enrolled in Megan’s online “Insects in Human Affairs” course, will be assisting Graduate Student Alden Siperstein to determine when wild mosquitoes initiate and terminate their overwintering dormancy in the field.

  1. I appreciate how Incredibox Mustard encourages experimentation. There are no wrong answers when creating music in this game, which makes it so liberating! It’s refreshing to have a space where I can explore my musical ideas without fear of judgment. It’s all about having fun!

  2. @Incredibox When I was invited to participate in the mosquito hibernation project, I felt very excited. Studying the life of mosquitoes and the environmental factors that affect them will help me better understand their life and ecology, and also expand my knowledge of insects in their relationship with humans. I am looking forward to the results of this work.
