Got an obnoxious little finding you'd otherwise shelve? We did our first @micropub7n.bsky.social and it was a 10/10 experience! Find out why you should use caution if deploying Repo-GeneSwitch-Gal4 for investigating fly sleep. Led by @seakelly5.bsky.social & @keisukefukumura.bsky.social

Drosophila core circadian clock neurons peptidergically regulate activity of insulin-producing cells https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.03.23.713581v1

Do not doubt that my lab would try this. I joked once that they could either do short talks or an interpretive dance about the fly brain circadian clock circuit. And they picked dance. There were props. One actor played the sun. 🧪😂🧠⏰💃

I survived the most dangerous place in Tokyo. Not the Shibuya crossing - the 12 floor Itoya store! 💸

We didn’t win the institute snow globe contest, but we had fun doing arts and crafts! And paying tribute to the cobra chickens of campus.

The Neuro Latine community invites you! Sunday, November 16 7–9 p.m. Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina – Grand Blrm 5 #NeuroLatine #SfN2025

#medalmonday for the three of us in the lab who ran the Princeton Half Marathon! A successful first half marathon for @keisukefukumura.bsky.social and grad student Sergio! 🏃‍♀️ 🏃 🏃‍♂️

✅My first half marathon done!

Lab once again slayed with the Halloween group costume for the institute party.

Barber Lab representing at #CSHLDros! 🪰 4/5 of us have posters tonight.

It’s time for the fly party with my fly friends! #CSHLDros

Proud of my postdoc and his undergrad mentee for winning poster awards in their respective categories at the Waksman retreat! 🤩 A wonderful day of great science and great company.

Although @keisukefukumura.bsky.social already bought the CHONKIEST stir bar I’ve seen in my life for stirring our high fat food while it simmers, I’m hoping this might be an even easier way to get a good emulsion going for our special diets! Worst case, we try making soy milk. 😂

Organize your own! Book a room, order some food, and send some emails to your favorite science people to get calling. Copy and modify my NJ-specific slides here: docs.google.com/presentation... Copy and modify my handout here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Dear Neuro Latine Community, We are writing to acknowledge the uncertainty of watching in real time the disruption of NIH communications, including abrupt endings to study sections that could fund important neuroscience research.

New #GeneGroups subset: Metabolic Pathways! These manually curated reports aim to facilitate metabolic research in Drosophila by providing high-quality gene lists and visual representations of fly metabolic pathways, integrated with the other rich data in FlyBase.

Ready for Christmas🎄

I came here to look for a blue bird…
