Wonderful to see former group members excel! Congratulations @exdrososcientia.bsky.social! Solis, O., Shaw-McGrath, T., Wade, A. R., Hahn, I. (2025) Steady-state visually evoked potentials as readouts for abnormal GSK3β activity in Drosophila. bioRxiv, 2025.10.24.684304 -- doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Wow! That's to be said! The Ezra Klein Show | The Contradictions of Gavin Newsom, check it out! www.podbean.com/ea/dir-4tiai...

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes? That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

I’m giving a talk at the Cytoskeleton of Neurons & Glia seminar on Dec 11 (11am EST / 4pm UK)! I’ll chat about polarity in bulb DA neurons and what it means for release + self-inhibition. Disclaimer: I’ve aged a bit since that pic, but spirit’s the same 😉 ncytoskeleton.wixsite.com/webinars/eve...

What a remarkable, piercing, and perfect assessment of these malignant moronic monsters.

Very interesting! Would be interesting to look also at more distant food sources, such as potato, and ask why melanogaster over others can accept them; or compare house mice to more specialist rodents! Just think of how food generalism helped humans to spread across the globe!

Happy to put this up on our #Drosophila Art Gallery: droso4public.wordpress.com/fly-art/

spot on!!!! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🧠 Are you passionate about EM, neurons, ageing, neurodegeneration? Then you might be interested in a funded 4-year BBSRC NWD PhD project using vCLEM techniquesat Liverpool with @ianprior.bsky.social, @natsansor.bsky.social and @aliemliv.bsky.social thenode.biologists.com/jobs/fully-f...

The European Drosophila Society #flyEDS extends the condolences on the passing of Antonio García-Bellido, considered the founder of the Spanish school of #Drosophila genetics and an influential figure in developmental biology research worldwide. May he rest in peace.

UK publication day for this wrist-spraining beauty! Appropriately, I’m travelling to Cambridge, where I’m doing a book launch talk at the LMB tomorrow afternoon.

I will definitely give this one a go!

nope

🪰 folks! I spoke to the Transmitter about FlyBase. As noted at flybase.org, bridge $ ran out and many staff were laid off. Good news is stopgap contributions will keep core FlyBase operations active. But community support remains essential. Please donate @FlyBase and share! 1/2 tinyurl.com/FlyBase

We had this game, but I just cannot find it anymore!!!

Speed reading "Science under Siege" - ahead of next week's recording of BBC Science in Action, where co-author @michaelemann.bsky.social joins a panel on the front line of the current assault on science, to answer what can be done. An appropriate topic for the last edition of the 60yr old series.

Any idea what the data for BBSRC and MRC are?

A bunch of doctors openly and transparently treated vaccine myocarditis as fate worse than death. 🧵

That would fit well into our #Drosophila art galery. Just send a nice picture and the kind of blurb we add: droso4public.wordpress.com/fly-art/

Who would have guessed

If you want to stay informed about what's going on in Ukraine, the weekly "Battleground" podcast on Fridays is excellent (www.podbean.com/podcast-deta...), and the daily "Ukraine: The Latest" outstanding (www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/03...)

Wow! Now over 37,000 signatures! 🙏 For too long, the UK press have bullied people, harassed grieving families, and destroyed lives, all to sell papers. It's time to hold them to account. You can support the campaign to change the law here👇 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

So exhausting..

Disinformation

Long over!

Einsteins theory has been proven.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

The data itself is questionable, for example the recent Minneapolis school shooter, who wrote neo-Nazi slogans like "Hail Breivik" and "Brenton 4 Ever" on their weapons, is considered "Left".

I see some similarity here with 'Bernd das Brot'

Alarming

Loosing #FlyBase / @flybase.bsky.social would be a blow to modern science: an unprecedented information hub combining data across levels of complexity from genes to organisms, reaching out to other species & humans, meticulously reporting on 120 years of research! www.nbcnews.com/science/scie...

Using the symbol of the Waffen SS (Armed SS) might not be the wisest choice?

An apt comment from Harold Varmus in this piece: ‘Running a lab is not like running a clothing store, where if your sales are down you can bounce back. You are dealing with highly trained people and projects which, when stopped for a short time, are ruined.’

What’s happening to the UK’s woods? We’re proud to partner with the Woodland Trust, who have published their State of the UK’s Woods and Trees 2025 report, putting woodlands back under the microscope to check up on their health and see what’s changed. bit.ly/3USkOeC Image: John Bridges WTML
