Here’s last night’s story about Jimmy Kimmel, the FCC, freedom of speech in the U.S., and why certain broadcast groups could learn a thing or two from Love Island. youtu.be/ohPToBog_-g

Now out in @nature.com: Our study discovering a neural circuit in Drosophila that predictively inhibits proprioceptor axons during voluntary leg movements, such as walking and grooming. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The FlyBase situation has made the national news www.nbcnews.com/science/scie...

What if #braindisorders 🧠 aren’t broken parts to be fixed 🛠️ but hurricanes to be redirected? 🌪️

Find out in the latest #LeafingThroughScience #podcast🎙️with neuroscientist @nicolecrust.bsky.social as we address one of humanity’s biggest challenges.

This week’s main story is about Donald Trump’s grudge against higher education, what we stand to lose if he continues to withhold federal funding from universities, and which unexpected celebrity may hold the key to eternal youth. And yes, we have compelling evidence on that last point. You’ll see.

FlyBase, a Drosophila database, will lose a third of its team in early October because the Harvard grant that covered the employees’ salaries was canceled. Scientists warn that losing FlyBase could devastate fly research.

Had an absolutely fantastic time at the #Drosophila 🪰 Circuits & Behavior meeting on Crete - heard about so much cool new science, met so many great people, and had so many exciting discussions - and my first conference where “getting stung by jellyfish” was on the bingo card 🪼🫣

🧿 Excited about molecular biology & genetics 🧬🧬🧬? Wanna live in Paris? Join our team as a lab manager under the supervision of @kevinfidelin.bsky.social & myself! Personal development in professional environment is our mission. Inclusive space where proactive and playing collective people flourish 🧿

#neuroskyence folks: as my postdoc grant is running out soon, I am looking for new opportunities in systems neuroscience!

Keywords: patch clamp ephys, opto, mouse behavior, (in vivo) voltage imaging. Would love to return to the Basal Ganglia.

Sharing appreciated, and happy #FluorescenceFriday !

Congratulations Flor!! 🥳

Hey spinal/ventral nerve cord folks. we’re organizing this cross species “cords” meeting @hhmijanelia.bsky.social . Hurry up and upload your abstracts. As a trainee these were my favorite meetings (small and focused) where I got the most useful feedback. DM in case of any Qs.

Congrats Dr. @ritujabisen.bsky.social !!!

Excited to share my PhD paper is out! We studied how motion vision is processed beyond the optic lobes to help flies walk straight. It has been a wonderful collaboration with @michaelreiser.bsky.social, @dddavi.bsky.social and many others not in bluesky!
Paper + digest here: bsky.app/profile/cham...

The latest paper from the Chiappe lab is out!! Congrats @merterginkaya.bsky.social and everyone involved - now you definitely have to come visit Lisbon so we can celebrate!🥳 @champalimaudr.bsky.social

Power went down in the middle of me trying to do calcium imaging and I’ll just read it as the patch gods telling me to go back to patching

Fantastic resource and summary of previous work, and a great read of all things insect motor control! 🪰🦗🪳and also looks like an insane amount of work to put this all together 👀

Congratulations!!

🚀 I’m thrilled to announce I’ve started a tenure track position as Professor for Animal Neurophysiology at @jlugiessen.bsky.social As of April 1, the Münch Lab is open! 🔬🧠🪰 We’ll study chemosensory processing, multisensory integration & feeding in flies. 🎓 PhD position coming soon, stay tuned!

We are looking to hire a Senior Scientist or #Postdoc to study brains, biophysics, and behaviour using #Drosophila as a model. Please spread the word!
