It’s been a while since my last post about science.
Today is the first evening of the three day Howard Hughes meeting at Janelia.
I’m here for the science and I’m on a mission of a first look at my next project in a different lab.
The highlight of this evening, in my opinion, was Hopi Hoekstra’s presentation. They did a fantastic job of establishing deer mice as a model organism for social and mating behavior. They did some really elegant genetics identifying loci contributed to monogmy, which I think is pretty cool.
Had some inspiring chat with Chris Walsh and Hugo Bellen. Not a bad start.
