Interested in doing research in neurobiology and behavior? Carolina Reisenman and Jeff Riffell are looking for highly motivated undergraduate students for conducting research in the neural basis of oviposition behavior in sphinx moths. Students will work in the framework of a recently awarded NSF grant at the ARLD Neurobiology using behavioral, neurophysiological, and chemical ecology techniques.  If you are interested, please contact Carolina Reisenman (Carolina@neurobio.arizona.edu) and/or Jeff Riffell (jeffr@neurobio.arizona.edu).

UBRP End of Summer Picnic:  Get your short-shorts and headband out of the attic; it's time for some fierce volleyball competition!  As part of the UBRP end of summer picnic on Friday, AUGUST 1, from 5:00 - 7:00 pm (across from Life Sciences South), we will be sponsoring a single-elimination tournament for all attendees.  Team up with your UBRP buddies to take on your lab.  Show your PI who is boss on the sand.  Fabulous prizes and bragging rights will be given to the winning team.  Interested parties of six should respond to this email with a roster and team name to Troy Comi, troyc@email.arizona.edu.  Not into volleyball?  That is okay, come for the cakewalk, or the eegees!  But come - we want to see you there!

Homecoming 2008!  We Will Be There, Will You??  This just in!  UBRP will be a presence at Homecoming 2008.  That is Saturday, October 25!  It's official.  We just signed up for our tent (thank you Zach Hillman!).  So if you will be at Homecoming, please drop by and see us, and maybe even talk some science!
