Congratulations Mahmoud!
PhD student Matt Muzzatti was the focus of a media storm this past summer. After being featured in the Carleton Grad Research Newsletter, CBC Ottawa radio contacted Matt for a live interview. Check out his interview with Robyn Bresnahan here, where he discussed his at-home experiments during the pandemic tracking cricket body size and growth when fed different diets. CBC followed up the interview with a written article, and then CTV Ottawa and OMNI Italian news were quick to schedule their own interviews. You can watch those here:
Congratulations to Mads and his co-authors on their recently published article! In this paper, they review the last decade’s research on cold tolerance and osmoregulatory function in insects to show that the capacity to maintain ion homeostasis promotes cold tolerance and that this is driven by an ability to maintain function of the osmoregulatory organs, while also providing important perspectives for future research on the cellular and molecular mechanisms. This work was invited by Julian Down and is published in Current Opinions in Insect Science. Access it here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cois.2021.02.015
