Congratulations to Morgan Herrmann, Martins lab undergraduate researcher at ASU, on the acceptance of her first first author publication in Copeia on the strange eye-bulging behavior of lizards and its association with chemical communication!
01/07/20
Thanks to everyone that came to my talk at SICB in Austin!
11/21/19
I will be presenting research on vasotocin-mediated chemosensory behavior in Anolis carolinensis lizards at the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology Conference in Austin, TX, 1/7/2020. I hope to see you there!
08/11/19
Congrats to Wilczynski lab undergrad, Selma Belkasim, on her completion of the Brains & Behavior Summer Research Scholarship and her first poster presentation!
05/28/19
I will be giving a talk at the Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology conference in a few weeks, hosted by my alma mater, Indiana University. My talk is during the Contributed Talks Symposium on June 22nd, and I will be discussing how arginine-vasotocin mediates chemical communication in Anolis carolinensis. See you then!
04/17/19
Congratulations to GSU undergraduate Selma Belkasim for being awarded a 2019 Brains & Behavior Summer Research Scholarship to conduct neuroethological research with Anolis carolinensis! Selma will continue her work in the Wilczynski lab while also engaging in professional development courses with a cohort of scholars.

Defended PhD thesis, and am officially a Dr. of Evolution, Ecology & Behavior! Thank you to my committee for all of their efforts in shaping my research: Dr. Emilia Martins, Dr. Greg Demas, Dr. Ellen Ketterson, Dr. Troy Smith, and Dr. Helena Soini.
04/13/18
Presented at IU Center for Integrative Study of Animal Behavior's annual Animal Behavior Conference: "Relative abundances of a potential-pheromone in lizard chemical signals impact chemosensory interest in adult males."
03/14/18
A collaboration I became involved with as a student during the Marine Biological Laboratory's Neurobiology course last summer was just accepted to eLife! The manuscript entitled, "The signaling lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate regulates mechanical pain" will be available soon.
01/03-01/08/18
Shared my work on phylogenetic relationships with chemical signal composition in Sceloporus lizards at the Society of Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) 2018 in lovely San Francisco, CA.

Another successful Science Fest 2017 at IU Bloomington. Kids and families learned about lizard olfaction, from odor molecules to brains to behavior.
10/9 -10/19/17
Visit to the Martins lab at Arizona State University for a new collaboration on odor playbacks.
10/6-10/9/17
In the Chiricahua Mountains looking for the fall breeding S. jarrovii
