The main question grad student Yutao Chen tried to answer is HOW do nanopillars actually kill bacteria. That is what she presented at #SICB25, and was covered by “Science”, it’s still work in progress but we are getting closer to the answer.

Hey #SICB25, curious about jellyfish eyes? Need to know more about the morphology of these convergently evolved organs? Come to my poster (P4-13) this afternoon!

Cover of Peterson’s Backyard Birds of the Midwest. It shows colored drawings of about 50 birds.

Ornithology-novice here. Is there anyone at #SICB25 #SICB2025 who I could chat with about how to study/visualize birds feeding on beetles? So - when the beetle is in the beak. Probably focusing on common backyard birds in the Midwest. Thank you!

Stop by poster #P4-12 at 3:30-4:30pm in the Atrium Ballroom on Tuesday the 7th to hear more!🪼👀

We turned our raw data into an interactive game, transforming over 10,000 iNaturalist observations into results in only 2 weeks! Come see how you can do it, too at #SICB #SICB25
