Unlike other rhodopsins, fly Rh7 is expressed in many non-retinal neurons. This recent preprint shows why, and Bgee shows where 🤓 🪰

Delighted that my PhD student @v-kirsch.bsky.social received an award for her poster on RHODOPSIN 7 in the @dzg-neurobiology.bsky.social section. Many thanks to the @dzg2025berlin.bsky.social for a wonderful and inspiring meeting!

Our new paper is out now!
We show the non-image forming role of #Rhodopsin7 in #Drosophila, expanding our understanding of #opsins beyond classical vision.
This work highlights how #Rh7 contributes to extra-retinal light sensing and plays a role in behavioral light responses.

Why a database of bug genes could be one of Trump’s most devastating cuts at Harvard
FlyBase, the world's only fruit fly database, is in the crosshairs of Trump's attack on Harvard. Here's why it could matter for your health.

We want to thank everyone who attended this year's #Drosophila JEDI meeting at Château du Feÿ! Three days of amazing talks, great ideas and chat at the camp fire. We are looking forward to meeting everyone again at the next meeting!

Dies ist kein Fake.

Es handelt sich um ein neues Plakat, das Frontex entworfen hat, um Kindern während einer Abschiebung zu erklären, was gerade geschieht und wie es weitergeht.

Die eigene Abschiebung als Abenteuergeschichte.

🤯
Plakat von Frontex. Es gibt 8 verschiedene im Comic-Style gezeichnete Bilder, auf denen zwei Kinder zu sehen sind, die den Abschiebungsprozess durchlaufen. Zuerst werden sie zum Flughafen gebracht, dann Passkontrolle, auf dem Weg ins Flugzeug, in den Sitzreihen und am Ende im Zielland nach der Landung. Dabei sehen sie die ganze Zeit ganz fröhlich und vergnügt aus.

Comic zeigt Person, die in Handschellen abgeführt wird. Text dazu: „Möglicherweise siehst Du jemanden mit Handschellen. So sind er und die anderen sicher.“

They will go after Wikipedia.

They will go after libraries.

They will go after school boards and public extracurricular activities that are anything but sports.

They will go after archives.

Because knowledge, education, culture, and progressives are all the enemy.

Thinking is the enemy.
