We are thrilled to share that Muñoz Lab took part in the "Scientists in Action" workshop organized by LEAP New Haven Mentoring & Yale Peabody Museum, yesterday! A huge thank you to everyone who made this event possible. We especially want to shout out our amazing team members—Laura, Saúl, and Henry—for their incredible support in creating a warm and welcoming space for our mentees and for jumping right in to make the day special. The energy from the middle school students at Booker T Washington, King Robinson, and Lincoln-Bassett was truly inspiring. They left the workshop buzzing with excitement, eager to share all they learned about reptiles, salamanders, and sciences as they headed off to their next activities. This event highlights just how important community engagement is in sparking scientific curiosity in young minds. We can’t wait to keep working to inspire the next generation of scientists!
Emmy James, who earned her BS in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, just published her undergraduate thesis research in the journal Ethology (Publications). Emmy did her senior thesis research in Dr. Martha Muñoz’s lab, where she studied the effect of temperature on aggressive and evasive behavior in staged encounters among different species of woodland salamanders and their hybrids. Emmy is currently a PhD student at the University of Tennessee Knoxville, where she is studying the effects on heat stress on birds. Congratulations to Emmy!
