2024 is already starting off well. Emily’s meta-analysis project was just published in BioScience. This was only due to Emily’s persistence and hard work. The first set of reviews required another literature search that highlighted hundreds of studies to consider for this study. Great job, Emily.

The lab organized another successful holiday cookie swap that included several labs. I was out sampling green ponds but saw a bald eagle relaxing in a tree (sorry the resolution isn’t great…). Fortunately, the students saved me some sweets when I got back to the lab.

Alan had a wonderful time at ASLO in Spain. Beautiful place and excellent food. Plus I was able to see graduated (Edna!) and incoming (Gabriela!) students. The HABs session was excellent. Lots of great talks. I presented Saranya’s meta-analysis in front of a huge screen.

Sarah Zohdy’s meta-analysis class group project has been published. Congrats to Jordan for leading a bunch of awesome students to get this paper out! This is our class’ 52nd paper. Wow! As a special bonus, I just heard Sarah on NPR discussing her CDC research about mosquitos.

Jinhai’s class project has been published in Animal Nutrition! Congratulations, Jinhai. This is the 51st publication from my Meta-analysis class. Also, this is our fastest class project (May 2022) to publication (September 2022). Incredible!
