Attention: the NINE INCH NAILS show in Boston was excellent. Thank you for your attention to this matter! 😜🧪

This year's edition, the 40th anniversary(!), of the CSHL Drosophila Neurobiology course is in the books! Thank you Tania Reis, Robert Carrillo, and Tim Mosca for this unique opportunity! We wish our exceptionally talented students all the best! 🪰🧪 @cshlnews.bsky.social @cshlcourses.bsky.social

I had the best time visiting CSH to give the cell neural biology lecture at the fly course. Thank you so much to Robert, Tania and @rister.bsky.social for the opportunity!

Having a great time serving as co-director of the CSHL Drosophila Neurobiology course with Tania Reis and Robert Carrillo! 🧪🪰👀 #drosophila #scicomm #cshl

Day 4 of the CSHL Fly Course! Director @rister.bsky.social takes us on a tour through development of the larvae and pupae. Then lots of dissections and imaging! One of the coolest days, in my not so humble opinion. :)

R01 Notice of Award comes in, confetti canon comes out! Thank you @NatEyeInstitute @UMassBoston #vision #research #NEIfunded 🪰👀🧪

Proud mentor moment: Congrats to Dr. Deepshe Dewett on the 'Outstanding teaching award' and Dr. Joe Bunker on the 'Outstanding PhD dissertation award'! 🧪🍾👀🪰👁️

Great to be back at Cold Spring Harbor as an invited speaker for the Drosophila Neurobiology course!

Another fun collaboration with the Shevchenko lab, now online: Lipidome Unsaturation Affects the Morphology and Proteome of the Drosophila Eye. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... #lipidomics #proteomics #massspec #eye #drosophila

Joe presenting our story on the development of color-sensing photoreceptors at #TAGC24 ! #scicomm #vision

Deepshe presenting our vitamin A and photoreceptor stabilization story at #TAGC24 ! #scicomm #flies eat their carrots 🥕 #vision

One of my sabbatical goals this year is to make this information accessible, so I’ll be posting one fly behavior tip a day this month (March is associated with brain awareness in RI) on my lab Fly Behavior Blog (and here). www.kaunlab.com/behavior-blog
