In Fall '26 the Himmel Lab will open at NJIT Biological Sciences. I'm beyond stoked! Interested in a PhD/postdoc in the function/evolution/origins of the senses (computation or experimentation)? Message me and come join a great department in the NY metro! Sharing is appreciated. Info: himmellab.org

Apply now for FBM #PhD #Fellowships in #Life #Sciences – join one of the Faculty’s leading laboratories. 🚨 Application deadline for fellowships: October 6, 2025. ➡️ www.unil.ch/news/en/1756... @unil.bsky.social @dmf-unil.bsky.social @dee-unil.bsky.social @dib-unil.bsky.social #fbm #unil

Dear friends at the University of Lausanne - please consider signing this petition This is to say NO to the funding cut of 24 million CHF that will negatively impact the quality of our teaching & research 🧪🧑🏼‍🎓 - and have a knock-on effect on the local economy All students, staff, faculty can sign ⏬

This is an amazing opportunity! If you’re ready you should definitely apply. Very competitive package and you can choose your Max Planck insititute.

Attention #Drosophila PIs: registration for the 2026 #EMBO Crete Molecular and Developmental Biology of Drosophila meeting is open! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Our lab webpage is out! takagilab.org

New preprint, taking our lab into ecotoxicology, with a nifty combination of experimental evolution and CRISPR screening in cells, to help unravel the still-mysterious resistance of Drosophila sechellia to its favorite fruit: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Great job opportunity at The Center for Integrative Genomics, Lausanne University, Switzerland unil.ch/cig/en/home.... For a tenure-track Assistant Professor position. More details for how to apply are here nature.com/naturecareer...

Flybase lost all of the NIH support overnight - it is a disaster for the community. Please consider donating. I just did! www.philanthropy.cam.ac.uk/give-to-camb...

New paper: one-shop stop for the Drosophila olfactory system, a great collaboration with Karen Menuz: www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

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.

Creating the first comparative single-cell brain atlases for 3 Drosophila species was a huge effort by Daehan Lee in @bentonlab.bsky.social. With it, we describe glial cell evolution potentially associated with D. sechellia's specialization. Explore the atlases: scope.aertslab.org#/DmelDsimDse...

How do #brain cells change over #evolution? @bentonlab.bsky.social compare #scRNAseq from ecologically distinct #drosophilid species to identify changes in composition & gene expression of different cell types, revealing higher divergence in #glia than #neurons @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4js7Rms

Now over 2200 signatures and still rising.

Want to start an independent research group? ...with core funding, outstanding facilities & a curiosity-driven culture? Join us at @embl.org We are recruiting across research themes, inc (epi)genomics, human dev bio, predictive modelling & neurobiology👇 embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/EMBL/d...

Excited to share that IBDM (Institut de Biologie du Développement de Marseille) is expanding its research groups this year! A great place for developmental biology and interdisciplinary research located on the beautiful Marseille-Luminy campus! Deadline for applications: March 30th, 2025

Dear colleagues fascinated by olfaction and taste! 👃🏾👅 We’ll organize the next ESITO (Symposium of Insect Taste and Olfaction) from September 19-24 2025 in Sardinia at the beautiful Hotel Cormoran again. We are currently updating the website and will start the registration soon! Please stay tuned!

Are you searching for an opportunity to start your lab? Apply and come join a phenomenal group of supportive and brilliant scientists at Developmental and Molecular Biology @einsteinmededu.bsky.social We would love to meet you 🤗

Interesting in applying for independent #fellowships? Know anyone who is? Check out our (@bristolbiosci.bsky.social) updated support information: www.bristol.ac.uk/biology/rese... Reach out if you have any questions. Please share. 😊

📣 Please share: We’re hiring a tenure-track Group Leader in Multicellular Systems to explore the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving the formation, maintenance, or destabilization of tissues, organs and organisms. Apply at: www.fmi.ch/education-ca...

New pre-print #2: Jérôme Mermet profiles living and dying lineages in the olfactory system to begin to explain how these sensory pathways are robustly specified but also evolvable: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New pre-print: an one-stop shop for everything you wanted to know about the fly olfactory system: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Last few days to apply for this position. The LMB, is a wonderful place to grow a group with amazing, collaborative colleagues, core funding and a rich intellectual environment in Cambridge.

Great opportunity to get funding to come to Cambridge!

Fly neuro people: has anyone tried the Ting lab’s scFLARE (or variants) for labelling active neurons in Drosophila? Thanks.
