Manduca Meets EMBL: Preparing Behavioral Experiments in Heidelberg

Just arrived at EMBL Heidelberg – and had a fantastic day working with Lautaro Gandara from the Crocker Lab!

Together we prepared a new set of behavioral experiments on Manduca sexta, which will officially start tomorrow. It’s exciting to explore how insect models can help us understand complex behavior using advanced imaging and tracking tools.

The EMBL campus is an inspiring place, and the entire lab team was incredibly welcoming.

Huge thanks to Lautaro Gandara and Justin Crocker for the opportunity, the great discussions, and the support!
