So proud of this preprint! The main paper from Puja Biswas @pujabiswas.bsky.social PhD revealing a female-biased role for the insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway (IIS) pathway in regulating body fat in fruit flies www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway promotes higher fat storage in Drosophila females
In Drosophila , adult females store more fat than males. While the mechanisms that restrict body fat in males are becoming clearer, less is known about how females achieve higher fat storage. Here, we...

Columbia has had it the worst but nearly every university has had grants cancelled, especially training program grants. Universities need to band together, speak out, and sue against these clearly illegal actions or else there will be no end to this.
I am a professor at Columbia University. All of the student NIH training grants have been canceled and now there are reports that ALL funding will be frozen. Why are Universities not banding together and speaking out publicly and forcibly about governmental attacks on biomedical research?

At the SciComm networking hotspot at #DROS25 we actually discussed the potential impact of communicating through hometown newspapers, so I am happy to join in this initiative and hope others will consider!
Join us! Science Homecoming helps scientists reconnect with communities by writing about the importance of science funding in their hometown newspapers. We’ve mapped every small newspaper in the U.S. and provide resources to get you started. Help science get back home 🧪🔬🧬 🏠
