Giving thanks to all the lab flies.

Excited to share our paper, led by Naoki Okamoto in our group, just out in Nature! Neuroendocrine control of calcium mobilization in the fruit fly www.nature.com/articles/s41... We “re”-discovered the calcium storage site in “boneless” Drosophila and revealed how calcium mobilization is regulated.

We start our new fly lab at the UL Lafayette!

FlyBase needs your help! We ask that European labs continue to contribute to Cambridge, UK FlyBase, whereas US and other non-European labs can contribute to US FlyBase. For more information and how to donate: wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBase...

We held the 2nd Fly Bayou Symposium in New Orleans last week—so great to reconnect in person and hear exciting research! What began in 2020 as a small local network has grown to 36 labs across 14 states. Grateful to see this community thrive and support each other! 🪰

Finally finished the relocation of my lab stock flies from Kyoto to Lafayette!!

Hi I’m @yamini-ravichan.bsky.social , a postdoc interested in the mechanical induction of topological defect-mediated morphogenesis. I use different organisms to study the role of topological defects shaping development & regeneration. Below is an insight to the field!

I moved my lab to this town in Louisiana.
