The Sears Lab's focus is on mammalian evolutionary developmental biology.
We had a visitor to the Sears Lab at UCLA EEB - Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology yesterday! Windows were open, and this little guy decided to drop in for a bit to hang out with super grad student Clive Lau, and then peacefully left on its own (no bats were hurt in the making of this video). Any ID guesses Nancy Simmons, Ann Fro, Winifred Frick, Betsy Dumont, or other batty people?
