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.

Very happy to announce a workshop I'm co-organising with Marion Silies and @crltt.bsky.social, taking place 2-4 Sept in Ingelheim, Germany! 'Flexibility and robustness of nervous system function', hosted by the Gutenberg Workshops @unimainz.bsky.social & with a fantastic line-up! Details below 🔻

Registration deadline is soon! Don’t miss this wonderful meeting 👇🏽 meetings.embo.org/event/25-dev...
