Thrilled to see my advisor’s @DesplanLab opening keynote at #SCDB24. Having both his postdoc advisor (Pat O’Ferrell) and myself in the audience is a truly incredible experience—showing the power of mentorship and inspiration across generations. Grateful to be part of this legacy!

Former and current lab members Bogdan, Olena, Jakub, and Shadi collaborated with the Yan Lab at UF to show how a protein essential for the insect sense of smell appears important for the survival of smell-sensing neurons in ants. (1/3)
