To be fair. They should have put Ramos for Ronaldo a long time ago. Portugal deserves this.

Tonight, I must be on the right side of this nonsense…

In a world of Paraguay be like Cape Verde. One deserved respect. The other….

Look at the refereeing for France. And look at the refereeing for Argentina. France is the best team in the world and FiFA knows that. I have never ever seen such outrageous refereeing. They will do everything to stop us

Go f…. Yourself you cheats

That’s it. Cape Verde must win. It would be just. Football needs it.

R.O.B.B.E.R.Y…….

This is the best ever French team I have ever seen in my life. And I have seen amazing teams. This one is above all

Forgetting Forgetting Forgetting

Jawohl …..

We may not win because you need luck for this kind of stuff but there is no doubt in my mind that France is way above any other team in this tournament. I don’t know how anyone can defend against such firepower

Still looking for a postdoc. Tons of cool projects here. Join us. Job ID: 58672

I swear to you I’m in a French restaurant and this dude is trying to impress the waitress by saying “Grazie”. Dude…. Wrong country. Americans….

FFS. It’s mousse au chocolat not chocolate. If you want to be French, be French….. this pisses me off in ways you cannot imagine

Working hard….

I used to fill this car for $30 not that long ago….

You know it’s going great when they are discounting the local teams gear and we are not even in June.

And that’s it. I’m so proud of you. I love you so much

She’s graduating…. Happy and sad at the same time

Rant of the day: a fancy restaurant is not a baseball game….remove your baseball cap please.

After a good week at SRBR, back to the trenches.

They did not have the SVU I rented so here we are….#SRBR

Simply unbelievable…. Missing the tournament 3 times in a row. When virtually everyone qualifies. It’s an unbelievable feat…

So I thought I’d give my LinkedIn account a refresher. But in all honesty it’s a lot of bs on there. Right? Like random people explaining how to succeed and manage a team. On the basis of what exactly? The reality of running a successful lab in a smaller institution could not be more different.

My laboratory is looking for a motivated postdoc in the field of Neurobiology. We have multiple exciting projects, NIH funding. Experience using the Drosophila model is preferable. Please share erecruit.umsystem.edu/psc/tamext/K...

We’re hiring! Our lab is seeking a research technician interested in neurobiology. This position is ideal for recent graduates looking for a 2‑year research experience before their next academic chapter. Experience with Drosophila is a plus. Please share. indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/32602

Happy to announce I've launched a new service for the fly community: flyRoom, a web-based comprehensive stock manager for all your fly pushing needs. Organise all your stocks, maps all your genotypes, plan your crosses, print and scan your labels. Give it a try and let your colleagues know!

So I came back from the Gordon sleep conference and it took me a while to integrate this but a famous researcher described sleep-promoting neurons located in the VNC that are present in the most widely used « dFB-specific » GAL4 driver as contaminating cell…

Fun times touring the Hobby Airport. Some TSA strike. Southwest could have told me about this much earlier. I may not get my flight. Good times

On my way to my favorite meeting. The Gordon sleep conference

If you know anything about wine you should know where this is from just based on the shape of the bottle…

Channeling the slash in me. Bourbon, guitar. Friday night. What else?

Why do we feel an irresistible drive to sleep after being awake for too long? A recent study led by Prof. Anissa Kempf has revealed that, in fruit flies, a small set of neurons can sense when the fly needs rest. Learn more 👉 www.biozentrum.unibas.ch/news/detail/... @erc.europa.eu @snsf.ch #sleep

Congratulations to my friend Anissa Kempf for this paper emphasizing the need to use the proper genetic tools when linking sleep effects to specific neurons. This was needed. Well done www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Yes yes yes

This list is full of truth. As a recently tenured faculty I agree 100% with all of these advices.

Unbelievably nice weather for this time of year. Merry Xmas to all

📢 Join us, the Haberkern lab, @uni-wuerzburg.de for a postdoc studying neural circuit mechanisms of navigation. You’ll spearheading neurophysiology experiments on our brand new 2P! ⏳ Apply by 28th February 2026 Details: www.haberkernlab.de/docs/ENPostd... #neuroscience #academicjobs #postdoc

My 22 yo daughter is back for the holiday and playing her music. Live from KC it’s whole lotta love. And I love her so much.

Want to carry a PhD in London, in one of the best Universities in the world? We have two calls for PhD students to join our lab at Imperial College. Deadline January 12th. More details for applications in the link below. Feel free to keep in touch!

That’s timely. We recently got a review that was « interesting »….

I dealt with these last weekend. Looks like I did nothing. Not a fan….

🚨 Postdoc openings! We’re looking for postdocs excited about sleep, synapses & cellular neurophysiology (fly or mouse). Yes, we also have mouse projects! See details: www.flysleeplab.com/positions

So I found this guy at the game today. What a great unplanned meeting.

I swear it was cheaper when the other dude was president. What’s up with that?

They take it very seriously

Meanwhile, in Columbia….#MIZ

What else?

I’m pleased to report that I am no longer an Assistant Professor. It took a long time but just heard I was tenured. Thank you to lab members, colleagues, funding providers, reviewers, editors, and anonymous letter writers for all the support through the years.

Coming back to the lab after 4 weeks away and finding that AC failed over the weekend in one of my rooms….significant loss of stocks. Great way to restart.
