💀This Halloween Eve, we’re spotlighting a tool that’s scary good at teaching anatomy — the newly acquired Anatomage Table! 💀✨

This digital dissection table lets students explore life-size human and animal bodies, simulate heartbeats, and even recreate clinical cases — no scalpels or skeletons required.

The table offers a cleaner environment with less exposure to odors and chemicals than traditional cadaver dissection.

“Cadavers don’t come with labels. Using the table enables us to see how the body works as a system rather than just viewing individual parts,” says Rayhan Quraishi, a fourth-year neuroscience major pursuing a career in medicine.

🌟Congratulations to James Stroud — assistant professor in the School of Biological Sciences — on being named a 2025 Packard Fellow by the @packardfdn.

🦎 Stroud will receive $875,000 over five years to fund his work on “Lizard Island” in South Florida. His goal? To create evolution’s first high-definition map — with the help of 1,000 backpack-wearing lizards.

“I’m incredibly honored to be named a 2025 Packard Fellow,” says Stroud. “This support allows me to pursue a question that has fascinated evolutionary biologists for centuries: how does behavior shape evolution? It’s a transformative opportunity, and I’m deeply grateful to the Packard Foundation for believing in the potential of this work.”

🎉 Congratulations to Lecturer Lesley Baradel and Senior Academic Professional Christie Stewart from the School of Biological Sciences!

They’ve earned an Innovation Incubator grant from Georgia Tech’s Transformative Teaching and Learning (TTL) initiative.

With this support, they’ll enhance their popular course, APPH 1060: Flourishing: Strategies for Well-Being and Resilience, by adding a community service component.

“We frequently talk with the students about gratitude and purpose,” says Baradel. “Incorporating a community service element gives them the chance to bring those values to life in a meaningful, measurable way.”

The enhanced version of APPH 1060 will launch in Spring 2026

🔬 For her first undergraduate research experience, fourth-year Georgia Institute of Technology student Marielle Frooman did more than work in the McShan lab — she helped lead research that could shape the future of malaria treatment.

Frooman and her team faced failures, setbacks, and challenges, but ultimately uncovered eight peptides that can help the immune system recognize and fight the malaria parasite.

Her first co-authored research was recently published in Scientific Reports, a Nature Portfolio journal.

Her advice for other undergraduate researchers?

“Embrace your failures. They make the successes even more rewarding,” shares Frooman.

In South Florida, two lizard species met for the first time. What followed provides some of the clearest evidence to date of evolution in action.

"This is one of those rare opportunities where we could watch evolution as it happens,” says James Stroud, assistant professor in the School of Biological Sciences and lead author of the study published in Nature Communications.

“We not only observed how these lizards changed their habitat use and behavior when they encountered each other, but we also documented the natural selection pressures driving their physical evolution in real-time."

Georgia Tech Second-year biology student Anu Iyer's groundbreaking research is revolutionizing Parkinson’s disease detection.

“Essentially, we proved the feasibility of a telemedicine approach towards detecting PD. Through a three-second phone call, our machine-learning model recognizes patterns in data to detect Parkinson’s with a 97 percent accuracy rate,” says Iyer.

Iyer conducted much of her research while still in high school, submitting an article for publication during her first year at Georgia Tech. She is the lead co-author of the paper published in Scientific Reports.

On campus, Iyer has taken part in @explore.llc and is a College of Sciences Ambassador.

🐝 Georgia Tech researchers in Associate Professor Dobromir Rahnev’s lab are training neural networks to make decisions more like humans.

🧠 Developing a neural network closer to the actual human brain may make it more reliable, according to the @gtpsychology researchers.

Meet J’Avani Stinson, a biology major interning with the Flatiron Institute's Center for Computational Biology through the Simons-NSBP Scholar program.

J’Avani is enjoying his summer and the opportunity to get some real-world research experience:

🔬“Hey y'all, I've been working on a fun research project involving simulating cytoplasmic determinants during the first embryonic stages via cellular automata. The project will hopefully provide insight into the robust nature of differentiation by cytoplasmic determinants and inspire future works and visualizations in the field.”

Back to school is coming fast, but we’d still love to hear about YOUR summer internship: Tag us in a selfie or use #GTSciences to be featured!

Congratulations to Chemistry Ph.D. student Isabel Berry for being named a U.S. Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellow.

🧪“I am honored to receive this fellowship,” says Berry. “In addition to the support for my Georgia Tech studies, I’m especially excited to participate in the three-month DOE summer practicum where I’ll collaborate with leading scientists.”

The prestigious fellowship is awarded to emerging leaders in computational science. She is the sole student from Georgia Tech to earn the distinction this year.

Asthma impacts more than 10% of the world’s population, but current anti-inflammatory treatments only partially control the disease.

Liang Han, an associate professor in the School of Biological Sciences, has been awarded a $2.47 million @nihgov grant to study the role our nervous system plays in asthma — and the potential for new treatments.

🫁“Since sensory neurons in the lungs are responsible for many asthma symptoms, we want to investigate whether blocking these neurons can help inhibit asthma in humans,” Han says.

The NIH grant will fund five years of research for Han and her team.
