Good news to kick off the summer

Lots of good news to report from the Hammer lab lately!

  • Nickole and Jen did great on their first committee meetings
  • Jen received a grant from the Audubon Society to fund her bee research
  • Sophia was accepted into a bunch of PhD programs and is going to Cornell in the fall
  • We received a grant from the Joint Genome Institute to do metagenomic sequencing of wild bumble bees
  • Toby’s paper on bee micro-breweries got some press (here and here)

We’ve got a lot of field work and lab work happening now and a couple of papers (hopefully) coming out this summer, stay tuned!
