Lethal pathogen causes widespread biological disruption for frogs, but responses differ by species

A new study by a Western Sydney University researcher has explored a lethal fungal pathogen causing widespread biological disruption for frogs, assessing how responses differ by species across the globe.

My #introduction!

I am an associate research scientist at Arizona State University. I help run the Life Sciences #electron #microscopy core, which is part of the Eyring Materials Center. My specialty is sample prep for traditional (resin) microscopy, but I am starting to learn #cryoEM. I also have a lot of experience with confocal and super-resolution microscopy.

My graduate background is in #fungi, particularly #chytrids and #zygos, but I love working with #Arabidopsis too

Hi #introduction! I'm a postdoc in Richard Benton's group studying the evolution of sensory systems across Eukarya -- in particular, receptor molecules. I do #neuroscience, #molecularbiology, #phylogenetics, and #bioinformatics. Right now, I'm working with #drosophila, #chytrids, and too many computers.
