Flame-retardant paper #2: shows that exposure in one generation has neurobehavioral impacts on offspring. Even brief exposure during embryo development - their offspring years later inherited altered behavior.

Flame-retardant paper #1: we show that brief exposures during early life to PBDE flame retardants have neurobehavioral effects that can last a lifetime, but whether exposure is maternal or directly from the environment modulates toxic outcomes

New paper out in #ES&T where we show that killifish exposure to crude oil has impacts (on embryo/larval development and transcriptome) that propagate to their offspring and to their grand-offspring. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Are you interested in evolution in the Anthropocene?... in evolved resistance to pollution?... in the genetic architecture of rapidly evolving traits?... You are in luck! I have something for you to read...

We finally have a lab logo - check it out!

FYI: we had this done through 99designs. Ran a contest, had about a dozen or so entries, after a few back-and-forth revisions of our favorites we picked a winner. This cost $300. Could have done cheaper with AI but I like paying people...
