We are in Bluesky and we are happy to share our two last consortium publications: the DrosEU expanded DEST dataset and a Continent-wide study of phenotypic differentiation among European #Drosophila melanogaster populations (1/7)

The Hopkins Lab (hopkins-lab.com) at the University of Florida is looking to recruit a postdoc to work on the genetics of organ function and evolution across Drosophila and beyond. Please visit tinyurl.com/vcsjpmzz or email me for more info. And please RT or send to anyone who might be interested!

Lab meeting field trip this morning! The undergrads explored the field site. I’m thrilled to work with a great team of ‘28s who will be on campus for sophomore summer next year and can expand their lab research to the mesocosms! @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social #fieldworkfun

What a summer it’s been! We built our Drosophila experimental evolution mesocosms and are running our first experiment! I’m ecstatic to be able to pair our study genetic and neural mechanisms of behavior evolution in the lab with how behaviors evolve in nature!

Excited / nervous to share the “magnum opus” of my postdoc in Andreas Wagner’s lab! "De-novo promoters emerge more readily from random DNA than from genomic DNA" This project is the accumulation of 4 years of work, and lays the foundation for my future group. In short, we… (1/4)

Learn more about Mike Hoppa's @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social Keck Foundation Grant to develop groundbreaking neural imaging technology! 🧠 “We think this tool and method are going to break open voltage imaging to the wider scientific community,” says Hoppa. fas.dartmouth.edu/news/2025/08...

#ESEB2025 @emilylbehrman.bsky.social on a great cuticular hydrocarbon-based mate preference system in Drosophila: a single molecule secreted by melanogaster females is sufficient to induce melanogaster males to mate simulans females, and to put simulans males off simulans females. Cool.

Thank you for organizing such a fascinating and fun symposium! It was an honor to share my research!

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...

Congratulations to technician Emily who gave her first talk today ever at our Quantitative Ecology and Evolution seminar. She did a great job and answered lots of questions throughout her presentation. I’m really proud of her for sharing research in progress and getting feedback!

#proudPI: freshmen Emily, Paul, Elise, Evan, & Tobias presented 2 posters at the Wetterhahn Symposium. Earlier this spring technician Emily presented at Neuroscience Day and Guirani Poster Symposium. I’m impressed at what we’ve achieved >1 year & excited to keep working with such an amazing team!

Dartmouth at #Dros25

Fantastic Neuroscience Day at Dartmouth! Thrilled to share the stage with these brilliant new faculty. Especially on Int’l Women's Day! (@laurenwalker.bsky.social , @emilylbehrman.bsky.social & Pia O’Niell)

#NewPI now hiring for a Laboratory Technician to join our exciting research program studying behavior evolution! Please RT searchjobs.dartmouth.edu/postings/75084

#NewPI recruiting at all levels (tech, PhD & PD) to study courtship behavior evolution. Talk to me at #Evol24 about opportunities & learn more about the research in the Genomics of Mate Choice symposium (room 516D) on Monday at 3pm!

I am thrilled to start an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Dartmouth College in July 2024. We will study genetic & neural basis of behavior evolution & how behavior affects evolution. Recruiting talented & enthusiastic scientists to join the lab!
