Took the stage at the XI Portuguese Drosophila Research Meeting to discuss science, flies, and the alarming number of hours I spend counting eggs!
Grateful for the discussions and the community!

Shocking news: the whole @flybase.bsky.social team at @harvard.edu will be laid off on October 12! Devastating for #DrosophilaResearch community, as #FlyBase has been a crucial database for genetic and genomic information on fruit flies. The impact of this loss will be significant!

I just got the notice that all the FlyBase people at Harvard, including me, will be laid off on October 12. I'm devastated.

Discover how tissue shear influences planar polarity in Drosophila wings! Directional stress aligns proximal-distal polarity, unlocking morphogenesis secrets. #DrosophilaResearch PMID:39920191, Nat Commun 2025, @NatureComms https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-56744-7 #Medsky #Pharmsky #RNAsky 🧪
Tissue shear as a cue for aligning planar polarity in the developing Drosophila wing | Nature Communications
Planar polarity establishment in epithelia requires interpretation of directional tissue-level information at cellular and molecular levels. Mechanical forces exerted during tissue morphogenesis are emerging as crucial tissue-level directional cues, yet the mechanisms by which they regulate planar polarity are poorly understood. Using the Drosophila pupal wing, we confirm that tissue stress promotes proximal-distal (PD) planar polarity alignment. Moreover, high tissue stress anisotropy can reduce the rate of accumulation and lower the stability on cell junctions of the core planar polarity protein Frizzled (Fz). Notably, under high tissue stress anisotropy, we see an increased gradient of cell flow, characterised by differential velocities across adjacent cell rows. This promotes core protein turnover at cell-cell contacts parallel to the flow direction, possibly via dissociation of transmembrane complexes by shear forces. We propose that gradients of cell flow play a critical role in
