A heartfelt thanks and farewell to Alex Wiltschko, who graduated from
the lab with his PhD this month. Alex was instrumental in many of our projects,
but his thesis focused on developing new methods for behavioral classification,
with the goal of using this information to better understand how genes and
neural circuit activity change patterned action. You can check out his work
here and
here; keep an eagle eye out for more in the near future. Alex had an
immeasurable influence on the lab in the best possible ways – he will be sorely
missed. We wish him all the best, and look forward to his future scientific
accomplishments. Congrats, Alex!
