@ManuPerisse @CurrentBiology Congrats Manu! Can’t wait to read it.

Only announced it during conferences, but I am super excited to start my lab in January 2023 in the excellent @UMDBiology, and as part of the @bbiumd. The lab will continue working on retinal development and visual processing in #zebrafish. Come join us! Hiring at all levels.

@zandawala @FlyNeuro Congrats Meet!

I guess it can't get more official than this. Name tag finally up on my own lab @FlyNeuro

@xseedling Congrats, Wanhe!!

So happy to share my postdoctoral work with you. It is about a favorite model organism, fruit fly, and about a challenging pursuit, studying emotion in animals. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Published! Our bioRxiv manuscript on ipRGC retinal projections is now in JCN. A dual recombinase strategy reveals surprising convergence and divergence of image and non-image forming retinal projections. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100… @Harris__Zhang @MariaEYurgel @SamerHattar

BREAKING NEWS: The 2020 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna “for the development of a method for genome editing.”

@kazukami @prey4Ramya Yes! Shared this tweet with my friend. She will contact @prey4Ramya!

@kazukami @LadyLordOfFlies 😂😂😂 only you kaz!!!

@Zingaro_K @kazukami 😂😂😂😂😂

@kazukami Your goddaughter!

😍😍😍

@AlexCarlKeene Is this Estelle? To me it seems like she will have a beautiful backhand 🎾🎾🎾🎾

Who says spring training was cancelled in Florida!?!

Fruit fly study suggests that the visual system uses a more sophisticated mechanism to detect increased light-levels than previously thought elifesciences.org/digests/49373/…

"I have a PhD student spending a year in Cambridge – she buys antibodies at night and has them the next morning. I have to wait six months and pay up to 10 times more." Daniel Mansur explains the challenges faced as a Group Leader in Brazil elifesciences.org/interviews/521… #GlobalScience

This is beautiful. Artists installed seesaws at the US/Mexico border to show how connected our kids are.

@drosophilosophy @kazukami Check out r4-GAL4 ( Lee and Park 2004, if I am not mistaken!).

@MariaEYurgel @kazukami definitely want something that's fat specific! i'd like to restrict to that single tissue ...

hey, drosophila aficionados, does anyone have a good recommendation for a strong fat body driver? i vaguely remember using lsp2-gal4 or lsp3-gal4 at some point in the past, but that was a long time ago. thoughts? references? any help would be appreciated!

I am devastated & traumatized by the news around the death of Dr. Suzanne Eaton. I mourn her loss. My heart goes out to her family. Beyond sadness, reading posts of female friends/colleagues, I am also struck by how different the experiences of women & men are in science (thread)
