New review on mosquito neuroscience methods from @sciencetylerj.bsky.social and @garimakohli.bsky.social in my lab! 🦟👃 doi.org/10.1016/j.co...

It was so fun to visit the @volluminstitute.bsky.social!! Such an awesome community of scientists!

Wendy Valencia-Montoya and team uncover thermal infrared as one of the most ancient pollination signals uniting plants and animals. From the field to single proteins. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🔔 New collaboration with @briandepasquale.bsky.social lab! ML for Olfaction! 👃🦟🪰🐀

It was so fun to work on this with @gkocker.bsky.social and @clienkaemper.bsky.social! It is out @pnas.org If you love olfaction and love math, this one is for you! 🦟👃🧮 When noncanonical olfaction is optimal | PNAS www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Neuronal diversity is written in transcriptional codes 🧬. But what is the logic of these codes that define cell types and wiring patterns? To find out we built a #scRNAseq developmental atlas of the Drosophila nerve cord and linked it to the #connectome 🪰🧠 #preprint thread ⬇️1/8

It’s surreal to think that every neuron and synapse in the fly brain + cord that was dissected almost five years ago (the photo’s still on the lab slack!) is now just a click away on Codex codex.flywire.ai?dataset=banc. This wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible team behind it!

With @megyounger.bsky.social's lab, et al., we present the first connectomics work in the disease-vector mosquito Aedes aegypti, revealing how its brain is wired to detect host cues. Preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2025... #Neuroscience #Connectomics #vEM #VectorBiology 🧪

New preprint from @darbly.bsky.social‬ @briandepasquale.bsky.social‬ and my labs! If you love (or hate) mosquitoes, have a look: doi.org/10.1101/2025... We used TEM to describe the circuitry used for CO2 detection by mosquitoes. As usual with mosquitoes, nothing is as expected! 🌬️🦟

🧬🌽 Happy Transposon Day! 🌽🧬 Today we celebrate the birthday of Barbara McClintock - scientist extraordinaire and discoverer of jumping genes. Still the only woman to have an unshared Nobel Prize in the biomedical sciences #TransposonDay2025

The Esther A. & Joseph Klingenstein Fund thanks @rswilliamson.bsky.social, ‪‪@megyounger.bsky.social‬, and @sungsoo.bsky.social for presenting their research at the recent Klingenstein Fellowship Awards in Neuroscience Conference. 📷 : SimonProPhoto

So excited for @lforencia.bsky.social and all of the amazing fellows!!

Excited to share new work with @clienkaemper.bsky.social and @gkocker.bsky.social! 🌬️🦟

🎉Congrats to the 126 early-career scientists who have been awarded a Sloan Research Fellowship this year! These exceptional scholars are drawn from 51 institutions across the US and Canada, and represent the next generation of groundbreaking researchers. sloan.org/fellowships/...

Finally setting this up
