    Investigating toxicokinetics of newt (Taricho) tetradoxin in garter snakes (Thamnophis)

    I am a PhD Candidate at the University of Nevada – Reno where I am advised by Dr. Chris Feldman. I am primarily interested in understanding the physiological and molecular mechanisms involved in venom and toxin resistance typically using reptiles and amphibians. I am currently studying the evolution of toxin resistance mechanisms in garter snakes and tetrodotoxin in newts.

    Impact of individual plasticity and supergene genotype on C. maenas heat wave response

    My name is Julia Kelso and I am a senior undergraduate at Cornell University. I study Biological Sciences with a concentration in Genetics, Genomics, and Development; I am particularly interested in gene regulation, differential expression, and proteomics. I was given the amazing opportunity to study thermal tolerance and supergene expression in global invader Carcinus maenas with the Tepolt Lab at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution over the summer of 2023, and I am continuing to explore differential expression in C. maenas for my honors thesis here at Cornell.

    Dietary carbohydrates increase heat stress resistance of honey bees’ foragers

    Trisha Panganiban is a 5th year undergraduate student at California State University, Los Angeles, currently studying Biology and Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies. Through a competitive internship with the National Science Foundation and the University of Central Oklahoma, she performed an 8-week intensive research study looking at how diet can increase honeybee survivability in response to global warming.

    The effects of rain and cold temperature on thermogenic capacity and physiology in captive finches

    I am a fourth year PhD candidate in Dr. Jamie Cornelius’ Lab at Oregon State University. My current research focuses on the impact of precipitation and temperature on metabolic physiology. I am particularly interested in how extreme weather may impact songbird physiology and survival.

About

The mission of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) is to foster research, education, public awareness and understanding of living organisms from molecules and cells to ecology and evolution. SICB encourages interdisciplinary cooperative research that integrates across scales, and new models and methodologies to enhance research and education. SICB is committed to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) as an organizing and guiding principle at every level of the society.
