Congratulations to Dr. @ritacardosof.bsky.social for a great defense and a highly deserved PhD. Very proud of your path and having walked it on your side.

New essay in @currentbiology.bsky.social special brain-body issue! Fly lab meets psychiatrist: how bodily signals shape cognition and mental health. Great collaboration with Albino Oliveira-Maia showing @champalimaudf.bsky.social discovery ↔️ clinic at its best. www.cell.com/current-biol...

I am excited to share my PhD work on head-direction cells recorded in the wild, now published in @science.org, where we recorded neurons in bats flying outdoors on an island. doi.org/10.1126/sci... With @ray-neuro.bsky.social, Shir Maimon, Liora Las, Nachum Ulanovsky and many others

🧠 The Lipid #Brain Atlas is out now! If you think #lipids are boring and membranes are all the same, prepare to be surprised. Led by @lucafusarbassini.bsky.social with Giovanni D'Angelo's lab, we mapped membrane lipids in the mouse brain at high resolution. www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

This morning Larry Abbott, 2024 Brain Prize winner, delivered a plenary lecture at #ECNP2025. It was a stunning example of how reconstruction of neural circuits at synapse resolution can provide fundamental insights into mechanisms of circuit computation. #NeuralCircuits #TheBrainPrize

During these uncertain times, I’m very happy to see that my institution, @scripps.edu has an open tenure-track Assistant Professor position. Any field in Chemistry or Biology is welcome. I’d especially love to see fellow neuroscientists apply. Please repost! apply.interfolio.com/174756

We're now recruiting early career group leaders at the Crick to lead ambitious research programmes and explore bold scientific questions. Hear our Director, Edith Heard, explain why the Crick is a unique place for curiosity-driven research. Apply now ➡️ www.crick.ac.uk/careers-stud...

“For Gurdon to continue in biology would be a complete waste of time both for him and for those who would have to teach him” He proved them wrong! RIP John Gurdon www.cell.com/current-biol...

Interesting how companies and the financial world is racing to spend mindboggling amounts of money to build the infrastructure to train computers. But we are leaving the infrastructure to train and educate humans crumbling. The question is who will train who?

Missing #EDRC2025, but the lab will be giving three talks: Ibo on the taste and feeding connectome on Friday at 15:00; Silvia on the microbiome and metabolic stress on Saturday at 10:30; and Rita on identifying the structure of metabolism at single-cell resolution in the same session. Enjoy!

New preprint alert! The uterus expands ~500-fold in pregnancy, yet we know little about how pressures are sensed. Led by @yunxiao-dr.bsky.social, we show PIEZOs are required for contractions and birth in mice, with dual roles of PIEZO1 in muscle and PIEZO2 in neurons www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This is a disaster if the EU doesn't follow up by doubling the budget 😬🧪

New publication from our lab, in Science Advances: Synaptic targets of circadian clock neurons influence core clock parameters www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Happy to share our work on uMAIA, a framework for building metabolomic atlases from mass spectrometry imaging. With uMAIA, we mapped the lipidome of zebrafish development, uncovering spatially organized metabolic programs . www.nature.com/articles/s41... #developmentalbiology #MSI #lipidtime

Excited to share work led by my PhD student Hayley McMorrow now published in @jclinical-invest.bsky.social. Hayley showed that GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonists rapidly inhibit AgRP neurons and that endogenous GIP is important for nutrient-mediated AgRP neuron inhibition. doi.org/10.1172/JCI1...

The #FKNE Leadership and Soft Skills Online #Training Course for the Starting PI is open! Don't miss the opportunity to enhance your abilities and learn to tackle challenging moments as an early group leader!

Today is a good day.

Journalists should know that words matter. Can we please consider replacing “mainstream” with “evidence” whenever appropriate. It has a completely different connotation and in science mainstream is very often due to all evidences pointing in that direction. Especially for vaccines. Thanks!

attention 🪰folks. many of you received a survey from @genetics-gsa.bsky.social about potential future sites of the US Fly meeting. We are excited for #Dros26 Chicago, but future sites are in question, for many logistical reasons. GSA is hard at work planning, but we need to hear from you. please RT!

🚨 #FENS2026 NEW DATES 🚨 First, Formula 1 sent us from Madrid to #Barcelona. Now the Tour de France Grand Départ has us switching gears again—we're updating our dates to 6-10 July 2026! 🗓️ Find out more 👉: https://loom.ly/zMkMKcA#FENS2026#Barcelona. 🔔 Stay tuned!

I had a fantastic time sharing our work at the #ssib2025 @ssibsociety.bsky.social meeting in Oxford. What a fantastic community discussing everything you ever wanted to know about feeding. Made many new friends and I learned a lot. I hope we stay in touch! Thanks for the invitation!

It was fantastic to hear and discuss the amazing science being done in the #Drosophila neuronal circuits field. Also great to catch up with my mates from the Dickson lab years. As a field we are building the future together. And it is extraordinary! 🙏, Nilay Eugenia Marion and Richard for organizing

Congratulations! The new Advanced Grant winners are great news. But yet again, many scientists - around 260 - with ground-breaking ideas were rated as excellent, but remained unfunded due to a lack of funds at the ERC. Hope that more funding will be available in the future!

Heading to one of my favorite meetings where the #Drosophila neuronal circuits world will come together to discuss science in Crete. We will celebrate the golden age of our field and there is so much more to come. Sad that the stete of the world is stopping some of us joining. Science will prevail.

My latest Aronov lab paper is now published @Nature! When a chickadee looks at a distant location, the same place cells activate as if it were actually there 👁️ The hippocampus encodes where the bird is looking, AND what it expects to see next -- enabling spatial reasoning from afar bit.ly/3HvWSum

On Friday, June 6, we will welcome Carlos Ribeiro @ribeirocarlitos.bsky.social @champalimaudr.bsky.social as the next speaker in our #BiozentrumDiscoverySeminar series. He will talk on "The Metabolic Mosaic: Illuminating the Interplay of Diet, Microbiome, Brain, and Metabolism"

Great work by @kosakamotohina.bsky.social in @obataf-lab.bsky.social lab, reveals how larval protein intake shapes adult lifespan by dialing down storage-driven translation. Elegant nutritional memory in action! Proud that Hina has now joined our lab as a postdoc. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Shit.

Candid interview with @ardemp.bskyverified.social in the biggest Portuguese newspaper about the real threat science faces in the USA and how this might lead to the demise of its innovation leadership. In Portuguese.
