And here's the official announcement from our Janelia collaborators with a fantastic visualisation from @philiphubbard.bsky.social. See more at male-cns.janelia.org/media. Downloads are humming and we have solved the first data access queries. Happy exploring! #drosophila #connectomics #malecns.

Having personally sworn for years that insects don’t use GPCRs for odour detection, Suguru Takagi (@sugurutakagi.bsky.social) discovers that, in fact, they sometimes do …

My department at Emory is a hiring a tenure-track neuroscientist!

Anyone who's talked to me in the last 4 years knows I cannot say enough good things about my dept and the neuroscience community here. My colleagues are so wonderfully supportive. Postdocs, please apply!

Dear JEDIs,
as we are self-organizing using the #EDRC as a nucleator we decided it is time for a JEDI database to boost our network! If you identify as a JEDI, please contact us here or send a mail to [email protected] to be added to our database.

🤩 Join us for the next TIBBE seminar:
Evolution of brain cell types.
September 10, 2–3pm UTC

This event brings together 2 outstanding evolutionary and developmental neuroscientists who will present their work, followed by an interactive discussion with the audience: www.crowdcast.io/c/evolution-...

A great collaborative effort of many labs across continents: @vbcscitraining.bsky.social, WACCBIP, TReND in Africa and more. Now a first paper on #open-source RT-LAMP #diagnostics is out: urldefense.com/v3/__https:/...
Congrats to the whole team. We hope this pushes affordable diagnostics in #LMICs

🧿 Excited about molecular biology & genetics 🧬🧬🧬? Wanna live in Paris? Join our team as a lab manager under the supervision of @kevinfidelin.bsky.social & myself! Personal development in professional environment is our mission. Inclusive space where proactive and playing collective people flourish 🧿

We are #hiring! Interested in comparative neuroscience? Check details here (www.unifr.ch/bio/en/depar...). We look for a motivated #PhD student or #PostDoc to combine genetics, physiology, neural circuit tracing, and behaviour to study taste processing evolution in #Drosophila. Please repost.

I'm thrilled to see the latest work from the lab published today @currentbiology.bsky.social. This project was carried by PhD student Jinfang Li, who combined the Flywire connectome with functional experiments to examine the principles of taste circuits in the fly brain. (Image by Jacelyn Shu)

Interested in a PhD connecting sensory ecology and evolutionary genetics? Applications are now open for a project on the Speciation Genomics of Eye Size Variation in Heliconius Butterflies in our lab at LMU Munich: www.evol.bio.lmu.de/research/mer... Please repost!

Thanks Matthew! Congrats on your recent paper! Really, really beautiful work

Wow - just seeing this now. Fantastic news Philipp. Congrats! Great to have you back in Europe!

Thanks Stephen!

And more from our favorite species trio: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Happy to see this out now:
Olfactory projection neuron rewiring in the brain of an ecological specialist: Cell Reports www.cell.com/cell-reports...

In a team effort with @bentonlab.bsky.social 's lab we establish new genetic tools in #drosophila sechellia and compare single central brain neurons.

Our paper is out!
