if you are at #iussi26 come to my talk on Thursday at 15:00 in K9 and hear about how the brains of wasps who have never seen another wasp respond to wasp images
If you are at #ICN2026 and want to learn about how the neurons of wasps respond to images of other wasps when they have never seen another wasp. Come to my talk today at 15:00 in the Great Hall South.
If you are at #SFN2025 and want to hear about the impact of social isolation on face cell-like responses in a face recognizing wasp come to my poster on Monday 1-5, W5. I‘m also recruiting Phd students (postdocs soon) so come chat if you are interested in joining my lab at WFU.
Our podcast is out! Check out our research @urochester.bsky.social that is decoding how true biohackers called twisted-winged insects control social wasps! #teamwasp #strepsiptera #zombiewasps 🐝🧟♀️ Please check out this fantastic initiative by @bugsneedheroes.bsky.social. Thank you for having me!
Bugs Need Heroes Podcast@bugsneedheroes.bsky.social · 12mo agoThis episode Amanda and Kelly discuss twisted-wing insects (Strepsiptera) with Dr Floria Mora-Kepfer Uy an assistant professor at the University of Rochester and a Levinson/Shapiro faculty scholar. @avispatica.bsky.social
I am recruiting PhD students to join my lab at Wake Forest University Fall 2026. Current projects focus on the neurobiology, behavior, and development of identity processing in paper wasps. Contact me if interested. Deadline to apply is Dec. 15th 2025. Please share! #PhDposition #PhD #wasplove
Let me introduce our new lab homepage. www.spatial-navigation.com We are looking for PhD students and one Postdoc that can start in November 2025. Contact me if you are in to studying spatial memory of honeybees. @uni-wuerzburg.de @neuroethology.org
Beetz Lab
Our group studies the neural mechanisms underlying spatial memory in insects. As central place foragers, honeybees begin their foraging trip at a fixed location, i.e., their nest. This site fidelity.....
