Rafael wins the Grand Prix game!
Organizing committee – Ke, Marco and others!
Ke has completed yet another thesis committee meeting, a PhD is in sight!
Our review on thermoregulation in hibernators is out in Trends in Neuroscience!
Feketa VV, Bagriantsev SN, Gracheva EO. Ground squirrels — experts in thermoregulatory adaptation. Trends in Neurosciences 2023, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tins.2023.04.008
Haoran receives a travel fellowship to attend Hibernation Science Workshop in Alaska!
Rebecca, Ke and Yury went to Zuckerman Institue at Columbia to present their work on the sense of touch in squirrels, elephant nose fish and ducks!
Haoran nailed her quals today! One step closer to a PhD!
Maryann reported on a new chapter in our lab’s hibernation research during her Physiology RIP talk!
Mai and Yury’s collaborative work with the Sobolevsky lab is out in Nature Communications!

Elena, Ke and Jiawen went to Rockefeller University for an iDISCO workshop! But a slice of NY pizza first (just to reaffirm that New Haven apizza is way better).
We are absolutely thrilled to host Art Beyder today and learn about his work on the sense of touch in the gut!
A new pre-print from our lab by Yury and Luke reports the structure of Meissner corpuscle and the amazing bi-cellular mechanism by which corpuscles detect touch.

Rafael has passed another one of his thesis committee meetings – one step closer to PhD!
Rafael before the meeting…
…and right after!
A new study by Sarah Mohr is out on BioRxiv!

Hypothalamic thyroid hormone deficiency underlies reversible anorexia in a mammalian hibernator. bioRxiv 2023.03.15.532843; doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.03.15.532843
Sensory Physiology Club keeps promoting science among school students. This time we hosted 65 kids form around New Haven!
Rafael nailed his talk during today’s Physiology RIP seminar!
Luke is one step closer to his defense! 
Rebecca just gave a amazing talk at INT RIP seminar. Here is the Q&A section:
Mai gave a great talk at today’s Physiology RIP seminar!!
Our paper on mechanotransduction in the afferent terminal is highlighted by eLife!
Maddy does it again, now at the Neuroscience seminar!!
Luke nailed his talk at today’s Physiology RIP seminar!
Luke’s study on mechanotransduction in nerve terminals is out in eLife!

Bittersweet news: Jenny Feng leaves Elena’s lab to become an Assistant Professor in the Biology Department at Wesleyan University.
Good luck, Professor Feng!!!
Maddy gave a superb (and happy) talk at today’s INP RIP seminar!
Emily Gu is a now a High School Intern in Elena’s lab. Welcome Emily!
Slav and Elena lab members went to the Smith Family Awards Program for Excellence in Biomedical Research 30th Anniversary at Harvard Club!
Sarah’s postering!
Sarah and Rafael went to Price Family Center Inaugural Symposium at Rockefeller University!
Luke, Yury and Slav went to Lake Tahoe, CA for the 2022 Keystone Vertebrate Sensory Systems symposium!
