I was thrilled to be with thousands in Washington Square park, proud to speak at the NYC Stand Up for Science rally today. We must stand together, this is one fight, against fascism, across so many sectors of our society. photos.google.com/share/AF1Qip...

Lots of people at the rally in New York! Josh Dubnau from Stony Brook gave the speech the moment demands: attacks on science funding are bad, but they’re downstream of fascism, and we need to fight the fascism even when we’re not the targets

When the exhaustion sets in mid-semester, I always have the opportunity to listen to David again by teaching my molecular cell biology course. He will keep all of us going, right?

congratulations to Catherine and Ding! An advancement in understanding the perception of social isolation.

Our paper @dulaclab.bsky.social on social homeostasis is online today! We characterized “social rebound” behavior after social isolation in multiple mouse strains and revealed its neural basis. Intriguingly, soft touch plays a key role in satisfying social need! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Outreach funding opportunity, sponsored by the Fly Board: Non-profit programs anywhere in the world that introduce middle school, high school, or college students to Drosophila research are eligible to apply! The number of students that this funding would impact and financial need will be considered

Dear All, I believe that this thread will become one of my most important contributions to the fly field (I hope I will make other contributions)! Here, I introduce the Soy Milk Machine Fly Food Method, a.k.a., DeepCook!#Drosophila#NewPI

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square. 45² = 45 x 45 = 2025 Also, 9² x 5² = 2025 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025 My favourite? 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025 #Mathematics #teaching #education

Come and work with us at the John Innes Centre! We’re recruiting a technician to investigate circadian rhythms in plants and bacteria. Expertise in microbiology, gene cloning, imaging are welcome #chronobiology #arabidopsis #bacillus www.jic.ac.uk/vacancies/re...

NIH funded scientists right now.

When I will respond to your email

Wishing all the fly-pushers a wonderful #DrosophilaDay/#FlyDay as we celebrate the anniversary (11/18) of the #Drosophila white-eyes mutant line w1118!

Glad i moved here and found this ❤️

Quoting @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social helped today: You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving.  You may need to grieve or scream or take time off, but you have a role no matter what

Assistant professor

Part of our lab studies #Drosophila cancer models. Delighted to announce ‘Beyond Mammals: Exploring Cancer Models” webinar held by NCI, hopefully in advance of funding opportunities. I’m speaking with @perrimonlab.bsky.social and others incl #Zebrafish and #Celegans PIs. Registration free.
