In Fall '26 the Himmel Lab will open at NJIT Biological Sciences. I'm beyond stoked!
Interested in a PhD/postdoc in the function/evolution/origins of the senses (computation or experimentation)? Message me and come join a great department in the NY metro! Sharing is appreciated. Info: himmellab.org
