Dejenae won the top prize in the environmental biology division at the 21st Annual Philadelphia AMP Research Conference hosted by the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation.

We are actively collecting in Philadelphia, NYC, and Richmond, VA for our NSF funded project on the impact of urbanization on house mice. We recently talked to journalists in NYC and Richmond to help explain the goals of our project to the community.

Our urban house mouse project is underway in the Philadelphia, PA and New York City, NY areas. We are looking for community participants to let us trap house mice in these cities and in rural areas outside the city. For Philadelphia, rural areas include parts of Bucks, Chester, and Montgomery Counties and for NYC, rural areas in Orange Co., Dutchess Co., as well as other areas around those counties and in northern New Jersey. If you’d like more information on how to participate, click here.

The new lab at Drexel is all set up and ready to go. Check out all the talented folks in the lab on the people page.

This summer, the Phifer-Rixey lab is going on the road! We are collecting house mice from urban areas in Richmond, Philadelphia, and New York City along with mice from rural areas outside these cities. Interested in having us collect mice from your property?
