Great job SQuEACs lab!
🦦✨Congratulations to MWU research students for their excellent #SICB2026 presentations, incl. student doctors James Bates & Blake Andrea who presented on how cranial morphology in otters & other mustelids shapes movement, sensing & survival. Exciting new research out of @squeacslab.bsky.social's lab

The #SQuEACs lab wrapped up an amazing #SICB2026! Shoutout to everyone who presented and thanks to those who visited our posters and talked science. Great start to #newyear2026.

The SQuEACs lab is wrapping up the #SICB2026 poster session with Megan teaching us about the effects of multiple staining techniques on neural tissue in amphibians (poster 169A).

SQuEACs lab was well represented today at #SICB2025. Thanks to all who visited James and Dominik's posters. If you want to learn about mustelid neuroanatomy or variation in fish brain shape come visit Blake and John tomorrow during the poster session!

Building on SQuEACs lab intraspecific variation studies, this poster is going to shock you in how different the orientation of the vestibular system is within the North American otter. I won't spoil Dominik's cool finds though so come visit his poster!

New paper alert from the SQuEACs lab! My students report on two unique cases of anatomical variation in the human lumbar plexus. #anatomy www.cureus.com/articles/392...
Unique Anatomical Variations of the Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve
This case study focuses on the atypical nerve contributions and branching patterns of the lumbar plexus in two human body donors at Midwestern University. It discusses their implications for pathology...

The SQuEACs lab has been busy since #SICB2025 writing papers, making posters, and scanning more things. Sometimes it’s nice to get out to nature though.

So proud of the SQuEACs lab this week at #SICB2025. Yesterday, Sofia Barajas presented on evolution and variation in the PAX6 gene of gnathostomes. Fish and amphibians are doing some crazy things!

SQuEACs lab kicked off day 4 of #SICB2025 in the DPCB chair’s special session discussing variation in the vestibular system of river otters.
January 6, 2025 at 1:50 PM
SQuEACs lab is being represented today at #SICB2025 by Hansan Jones talking about his awesome work on variation in the vestibular system of river otters. Come check
Out his poster.

#SICB2025 is coming up! the SQuEACs lab is making talks and posters! Here's a glimpse at some of the awesome work done by my veterinary student, Megan, who is describing variation in #brain morphology among wild populations of Lithobates #tadpoles.
December 13, 2024 at 2:31 AM
The SQuEACs lab was busy this week submitting abstracts to #anatomyconnected2025 if you’re attending come learn about #environmental effects on otter inner ears, variation in #BMP4 genes from #heavymetals and human carotid artery variation!

My students are amazing and study anything from otter ear morphology to frog DNA to tadpole central nervous system development. Be sure to come by to see their awesome work! They keep the SQuEACs lab running and full of new ideas and excitement.

This is such a great way to share your work. Here’s a word cloud of the SQuEACs lab.

I need to know what SQuEACs stands for!
November 19, 2024 at 12:26 PM
First official post from the SQuEACs lab! Excited to share the #science coming from myself, Leigha Lynch PhD, and my amazing students and collaborators. We study #otters #fish #frogs and their #DNA and #anatomy.
