  • Sea Anemone

  • Larix siberica

    Siberian Larch, taken at our field site near Lake Khovsgol in north-central Mongolia.  We are analyzing tree-ring width and stable isotopes of the tree rings to reconstruct climate, and Larch responses to climate change, over the past century as the temperature in Mongolia has risen.  

  • ERK1/2 signaling pathway

     ERK1/2 signaling pathway regulates exocytosis and tumor invasion through phosphorylation of the exocyst complex. 

  • Archaea

    Haloferax volcanii motility mutants stab-inoculated on a 0.3% agar motility plate. The “halos” and “rings” likely reflect the motility of this archaeon following gradients of attractant or repellent chemicals.
