Model organisms, in particular non-mammalian model organisms, such as yeast, Caenorhabditis elegans, #Drosophila and zebrafish, have long stood at the centre of biological discovery www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Reaffirming the value of model organisms in training scientific minds - Nature Cell Biology
As biomedical research prioritizes human models and translational promise, classic model organisms are increasingly dismissed. Here we argue that they have a lasting value, both in enabling discovery and in cultivating scientific thinking, by training researchers in systems reasoning, integrative thinking and independent inquiry.

🔬New paper! This has been my personal favorite project I’ve ever done - also, the only one that the President has been relentlessly trying to destroy by 100% defunding our lab & institution. Please enjoy:

@nadiesabenada.org El objetivo del archivo sonoro de puertas podria ser hacer un cortometraje, protagonizado por B&A o A&B, usando esos sonidos. Habria que armar una historia donde quepan todas. Sin duda merecería un "subnoondas", que a ver si lo inventan pa que los ganeis todos (desde el cariño)

Happy Fly Day!
November 18th is #Drosophila day. It commemorates the isolation of a white-eyed mutation, which is now used across the world. That mutation is white[1118], with the numbers standing for Nov 18th, the day it was isolated by Bob Levis. 🪰

Check out this fly boxing away a parasitic wasp who is trying to lay eggs in its abdomen.
I've watched a lot of fly behavior, but never seen anything like this. Makes you wonder how much we miss by studying lab organisms in isolation from their natural threats.
