Meet Madhulika Rai, member of the Early Career Scientist Career Development Subcommittee! 👋 She studies how metabolism and growth pathways drive disease using Drosophila and is passionate about mentoring, science communication, and supporting postdocs. Read her spotlight: buff.ly/S3yACCB

In the most surreal Drosophila abstract submission day of my career, Thom Kaufman is submitting a poster abstract based on his work in my lab. Be sure to attend #Dros26 in Chicago and ask Thom to walk you through his poster on slgA and proline metabolism.

Come join us! Applications to the GCDB Biology Doctoral program at IU are due December 1st. @iubiology.bsky.social @alizeemalnoe.bsky.social @rhcalderon.bsky.social @lesleynweaver.bsky.social @hoosierflyman.bsky.social @tennessenlab.bsky.social @flyeyelab.bsky.social @briancalvi.bsky.social

Just in time for the #EDRC2025: the #Drosophila metabolic network 'FlyCyc' has been updated at biocyc.org/organism-sum... Come and see poster P-335 on Saturday for more metabolic pathway models at #FlyBase.

Check out the new work from the Calvi lab ! #Drosophila #cellbio #polyploidy @iubiology.bsky.social @briancalvi.bsky.social

EMBO meeting on "Molecular and Developmental Biology of Drosophila" 21 – 27 June 2026 Registration is now open! Deadline next November 3rd! meetings.embo.org/event/26-dro...

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...

In #G3journal, @tennessenlab.bsky.social and colleagues generated new loss-of-function mutations in the #Drosophila D2hgdh gene to study D-2-hydroxyglutarate, a potent oncometabolite, function during development and disease. Read more: buff.ly/8ELi9GW

Meet the six Associate Editors joining #GENETICS to grow our Primers series, overseen by Beth De Stasio! They’ll help students build skills in reading and analyzing primary literature—future scientists and citizens alike. 🔗 buff.ly/YrhAIim

Latest #MetabolismMondays interview has just dropped 👀 Find out more about #newPI @kstapornwongkul.bsky.social and her research 👇

It's #summer & time to beat the heat! To find out about how insects adapt to temperature shifts by coordinating #metabolism and #hormones for seasonal adaptations check out this article featuring @karinburg.bsky.social's work in #butterfly. @the-node.bsky.social #evolution #devbio #newPI #ecdysone

Exciting news from the IU Biology Greenhouse! Wally, our corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum), is officially preparing to bloom! 🪴🌸 🎥You can watch the livestream: go.iu.edu/8tM8 📷: Jessica L. Hooten, Department of Biology

Thanks to all who have expressed a willingness to support FlyBase. The wheels of bureaucracy are large and grind slowly. We expect to have a fee process in place by July. @flybase.bsky.social

🚨#G3journal has announced a new article type: Omics Report! Share high-quality results from transcriptomics, proteomics, & more—even if big insights are still developing. Learn more and submit your data today: buff.ly/ZkmoLYJ

If you haven't heard already: www.thetransmitter.org/community/fl...

FlyBase, a crucial resource for drosophila research, has lost its funding because its grant is awarded to Harvard. The team is scrambling to find other sources of funds, including donations from labs. Read more: www.thetransmitter.org/community/fl... @flybase.bsky.social

The Flybase grant at Harvard has been canceled by Trump. Bloomington and Cambridge canceled too. Flybase is on life support. Please donate to keep it alive.

Congrats to @superflymr.bsky.social on her latest publication in PLoS Genetics! dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...

For my fly colleagues interested in oncometabolites or links between metabolism and chromatin modifications, we generated two Crispr alleles in D2hgdh. Description can be found here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

#NewpreprintAlert 📣📣 New #Drosophila genetic model to study the role of D-2HG in physiology, metabolism, aging and disease in a context dependent manner !! @tennessenlab.bsky.social @superflymr.bsky.social @iubiology.bsky.social

FlyCROSS - getting a shout out today at #Dros25 !!! A year ago I proposed this program and it's been an amazing journey so far !! Thank you to all the mentors who volunteered and to the committee!! Hope all matched mentors/mentees are having a fantastic mentoring time !! #Drosophila #community

📢Let’s welcome the new Node correspondents – @sciwhye23.bsky.social, @iamshef.bsky.social and Mariia Golden! We look forward to working with them to bring you a range of interesting content for the Node. Stay tuned for their posts 👀 Find out who they are and what they plan to write about:

Thank you @asbmb.bsky.social for awarding Geovana Garcia a 2022 PROLAB award (www.asbmb.org/asbmb-today/...)! The research you supported is now out on bioRxiv! doi.org/10.1101/2025... And thanks to Geovana and Marco Oliveira for inviting us to collaborate with them on this project!
