Come join the Spatial Ecology and Paleontology Lab every Friday for Fossil Fridays! 

Become a fossil hunter and help discover how vertebrate communities have changed through time. Experience firsthand what it is like to be a paleontologist, finding and identifying new specimens! 

You will be picking and sorting 3,000 to 30,000-year-old fossil specimens from rock matrix that has been brought back from Natural Trap Cave, WY. These specimens are part of many research projects examining how the community of species living around Natural Trap Cave has changed since the extinction of the cheetahs, lions, dire wolves, mammoths, camels, horses, and other megafauna that used to live in North America. 

You are welcome to participate anytime that is convenient, with no commitment necessary. In fact, you can drop in or leave anytime within the two-hour timeframe. All are welcome, so bring your friends! 

For more information join the mailing list and/or contact Katie Slenker (kslenker3@gatech.edu) or Jenny McGuire (jmcguire@gatech.edu).

​* No T. rex actually helped with the excavations of Natural Trap Cave as their arms would be much too small.

Due to Inclement weather, this in-person session has moved online.

Prepare to showcase your scientific expertise at career fairs and networking events with confidence! 

"CoS Under the Scope: Selling Your Science" is designed to help students craft compelling personal narratives and refine their professional communication skills.

Astract: Fishes exhibit remarkable adaptability, navigating complex aquatic habitats while balancing competing demands that influence their locomotion mechanics and energetics. This extraordinary ability to sense and maneuver through fluid environments offers valuable insights for advancing autonomous underwater vehicle technology. However, our understanding of how fishes detect and navigate their surroundings, especially during dynamic behaviors, remains limited. In this presentation, I will discuss advances made by my laboratory in elucidating the diversity, energetics, and underlying mechanisms of fish locomotion. I will demonstrate how the environment shapes the costs of swimming through the ability of fishes to recapture energy from turbulence, causes the convergence of body kinematics during acceleration, and impacts the collective behavior of fish schools. Additionally, I will highlight our progress using zebrafish and cavefish model systems to elucidate the response properties and evolution of the lateral line system in fishes, a sensory modality required for swimming, schooling, and predator-prey interactions. Finally, I will outline our innovative approaches to studying behavior in naturalistic mesocosms and field settings, aiming to translate fundamental scientific discoveries into practical applications for conservation, ecological management, and the development of cutting-edge, bio-inspired technologies.

Abstract: Nuclear speckles, a type of membrane-less nuclear body, are increasingly recognized as dynamic regulators of 3D genome organization and gene expression. My talk will explore the connection between nuclear speckles and chromatin architecture, highlighting how this association coordinates gene expression and influences pathways involved in stress responses and diseases, including cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders.
