- Wow wonderful discovery on how small changes in olfactory receptors of the agricultural pest Drosophila suzukii explain the shift to prefer laying eggs in ripe fruit instead of overripe fruit due to better detection of ester fruits volatiles 🤩 Huge congrats @hdweck99 and Dr XueI am very happy to share that the latest work from the lab, led by Dr. Qi Xue (@Qi_Xue_94), has been published in PNAS and is now online: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
- My first podcast 😅 on how decoding the smell of organisms could help us to find solutions to protect crops in agriculture, and improve plant, animal, and human health by detecting diseases before symptoms appear! @Cornell @CornellEnto @CornellAgriTech
- The International Society of Chemical Ecology Conference will be hosted by Cornell (Ithaca, NY) 📢 June 21-26! 🐛🧪🥀🦠🦇 Early Bird registration until April 7! Please spread the word! Great talks and sessions! Post-conference Metabolomics Workshop! events.ces.scl.cornell.edu/event/ISCE2026…
- Our most accomplished work on chemical evolution 🥳 These N,S-cardeneolides have unique structures and bioactivities, and they also have divergent macroevolutionary histories 🤩 Structural innovation in the evolution of plant chemical defense | PNAS
