For those reviewing grants for study sections. Are you just proceeding on normal schedule?

I think we all see now that, in the system we have built, all research universities are beholden to the government.

Sounds good. But IL is one of the most gerrymandered states

Mmmm. I doubt that’s what they mean

This is a Perspective, not the publication of a new device. Am I missing something?

I think they are lipofuscin granules. Can be annoying. We tried quenching with copper to no avail.

There used to be a Notes section where you could write comments. Would be nice to have that back. But grant review is much more regimented now.

Some people take that as evidence that the earth goes through cycles and this is just another cycle.

🚨 Preprint alert! 🚨
Can mice estimate the distance to an odour source?
New work led by Cristina Marin and colleagues, jointly supervised by @andreas-t-schaefer.bsky.social at the @crick.ac.uk and myself.

Spoiler alert: Yes, they can!

Stunning image! Is this published? I’d like to show this in my Dev Neuro class. More info about what is labeled would be great.

Finally, our results would not be possible without past and present members of the Datta lab, including Tatsuya Tsukahara (now at the LTRI in Toronto) and great collaborators like Martin Escamilla del Arenal and Tom Bozza (@neuroboz.bsky.social). We look forward to your feedback on this work!

Olfactory neuroscientists have known for a while that their stimuli stink. A new analysis illuminates the extent of the problem.

Prions. My symptoms must be from prions 😂

Glad to share this review of odor concentrations in nature versus experiments, just out in J Neurosci. Spoiler: they are far apart. We discuss implications for olfactory neuroscience and welcome debate. With @neuroboz.bsky.social @dewanlab.bsky.social, Betty Hong. www.jneurosci.org/content/45/1...

My BFFL Marco Gallio, @mlcapek.bsky.social, and colleagues just dropped an absolute banger of a paper in @nature.com! The Evanston flylords reveal the molecular and neuronal basis of thermal niche adaptation in drosophilid flies. A must-read! 🔥🔥

Check out our review comparing typical experimental to naturally-occurring odor concentrations. You might be surprised.

Thanks to Matt and Betty for asking me to take part!

Titer test may cost more than just getting a shot, no?

I suspect this is about choking the Universities into submission.

There should be a database of “lame” science that created significant breakthroughs, including all the examples in this thread.

For my inaugural post on this platform, I pose THE critical question of our day. Fruit fly or Vinegar fly? Can’t we just pick one?
