Sam has now started her new group at the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research Diseases. Congratulations! I wish her the very best for her independent career. The time Sam spent with us was hugely successful in many respects and we will all be sad to see her go..

We present the first subset-specific proteomic signature of electrophysiologically-defined, pain-sensing neurons. One step closer to uniting function with molecules- one neuron at a time. Thanks to all who have contributed, especially @coscialab.bsky.social @garyrlewin.bsky.social #neuroscience

Kicking off my Bluesky account by sharing a new review I wrote with @lindymcbr.bsky.social for @currentbiology.bsky.social! If you’ve ever wondered about the source of your stank or just want to learn why humans smell weird (it's true!), then this review is for you! 👃🧪🤔 doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...

Excited to introduce our naked mole-rats from @garyrlewin.bsky.social to the chemical ecology course @mpi-ce.bsky.social for the first time — bringing some serious subterranean chemistry to the surface!

Registration is open; more info:

✍️🧠🪰 New paper finally out! Neuroecology of alcohol risk and reward. Different neural pathways with opposite valence for the same odor are combined to balance attraction and aversion based on physiological state. Natural history of alcohol and the fly. www.science.org/doi/full/10....
Neuroecology of alcohol risk and reward: Methanol boosts pheromones and courtship success in Drosophila melanogaster
Flies increase pheromones and mating success with alcohol, but methanol is toxic; thus, the brain must balance risk versus reward.

Honored to present my work on naked mole rats from @garyrlewin.bsky.social at the @modolfor.bsky.social symposium (@silkesachse.bsky.social) during the Göttingen Neuroscience Meeting #NWG @neurowissg.bsky.social —and finally getting the famous and amazing Drosophila from @katrinvogt.bsky.social!!
