Happy to have given a tiny contribution (as tiny as a fly brain!) to this new light-sheet microscopy technology. Congratulations to @ld-light.bsky.social and the whole team

🚨 What's the interplay between sleep and mitochondrial dynamics in neurons? I am happy to share this invited review I wrote for The Journal of Physiology @jphysiol.bsky.social 👉 physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... 🧵 Thread 👇 #Neuroscience #SleepResearch

Un nuovo studio condotto in D. melanogaster rivela che il bisogno di sonno potrebbe nascere direttamente dal metabolismo dei neuroni. Il sonno, insomma, sarebbe una conseguenza inevitabile della respirazione cellulare www.scienzainrete.it/articolo/cos...

Tired? Well that sleepy feeling may be driven by 'leaky' mitochondria, according to a new study. I spoke to Gero Miesenboeck from @ox.ac.uk for @nature.com all about the new study. It's here on the Nature Podcast at 12:11:

Mitochondria may have been labelled the "energy powerhouses" of cells, but they also seem to have an underappreciated role in sleep.

Thanks @dereklowe.bsky.social for featuring our work in @science.org blog "The Pipeline"

1/ 🚨 Our new paper is online in @nature.com! As its first author, I’m enthusiastic to finally share it with you all! 🎉 🧠 We discovered a mechanistic link between cellular energy metabolism and the control of the need to sleep 💤 👉 rdcu.be/ewwrA @oxforddpag.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk @medsci.ox.ac.uk 🧵 👇

Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @brain1878.bsky.social If you agree with the sentiments please repost. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness academic.oup.com/brain/articl...

Honoured to be the guest on the 100th episode of the @neuroversepod.bsky.social podcast!🎙️ With Clara Lenherr and @carolina-soares.bsky.social, I discussed the neurobiology of sleep—a topic that continues to fascinate and challenge us. Thank you to the Neuroverse team for inviting me. 🧵👇

Why do we need to sleep? In a preprint, researchers posit that it may be an "inescapable consequence" of how we power our cells. That and more of the best in Science and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪
