I work on behavior, stress biology, and genomics using Drosophila and complementary systems. I am interested in simple tools, circuit principles, and training early researchers. Posting occasionally about methods and research observations.
Tool building often moves the field faster than incremental experiments. I learned this from my mentor Loren Looger and his approach to designing new tools for neuroscience.

Pavan Agrawal described some ingenious low-cost assays and analysis techniques to study fly behaviour. His talk explored the effects of social isolation on sleep and how silencing/activating different neuronal subgroups rescued these effects.

Amazing time indeed. Thank you so much, everybody, and @melnattur.bsky.social particularly! 🐙
Had a really amazing time @sleepneuroscience.bsky.social at Neuroscience of sleep conference in Delhi. Thought provoking science and fabulous company. Thankyou @melnattur.bsky.social and other organisers.
