Please repost! We're hiring a postdoc to work with me and @salagapan.bsky.social on an exciting interdisciplinary project in human neuroscience and brain-body interactions underlying effortful behavior in health and mood disorders. siplab.gatech.edu/postdoc_ad_2...

Hi, if you are looking to come to Canada for a post-doc or a PhD, consider my lab to study the genetic basis of social interactions, using the fruit fly! My university (Western University) has a new program to welcome you! See below! #drosophila #postdoc #canada #PhD #social #behaviouralneurogenetic

I wish journals could figure out how to make this work, cooperating w one another Want to submit? Review first please Yes, this sounds somewhat tedious But think of ✳️ faster reviews ✳️ less exploitation by unscrupulous peers (ie. more fairness) ✳️ (possibly) more thoughtful review #AcademicSky

Research in flies suggests #circadian systems differ in #males and #females. In PNAS Journal Club: www.pnas.org/post/journal... #CircadianRhythm #SleepWakeCycles #Drosophila #neurons

If using Bloomigton #Drosophila Stock Center stocks, pls. acknowledge them & their NIH funding (P40 OD018537). Papers listing this no. are being harvested as evidence. We massively depend on the @bdsc.bsky.social & they need our support in these dire times! @flybase.bsky.social @fly-eds.bsky.social

“The lack of substantive consultation with faculty, or the imposition of pseudo-consultative gestures, undermines the spirit and functionality of collegial governance.” Read the latest President’s Message: https://buff.ly/4gYuHA9

Low funding forces universities to rely on contract faculty who often reapply every term, earn less, and lack benefits. Stable, permanent jobs and increased funding will strengthen campuses and communities. 🗳️ Make your voice heard — vote on Feb 27th! #ONpoli #equalpayforequalwork @ocufa.bsky.social

🚨 Western is considering outsourcing first-year international student programming to Navitas, a for-profit provider. This threatens academic integrity, job security, and faculty governance. UWOFA stands against privatization—reinvest in our own programs and people! 📰 Link to release in bio.

Amidst all the terrible things, it's nice to have some good news - our paper on the architecture of fly taste circuits is published now! Led by Emory undergrad Sydney Walker and grad student Marco Peña Garcia. Paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Summary here: devinenilab.org/news/connect...
