Team Humpty Dumpty didn’t win the Biology Department egg drop, but we had an awesome design and esprit de corps. @IUBiology

Universities in Indiana will have to conduct a “foreign influence and research security review” for students from adversarial nations going into engineering and scientific fields.

For 40+ years, we’ve known how UCP1 drives thermogenesis—but how UCP1-independent pathways are activated remained unknown. Thrilled to share our @Nature paper, led by Faiz Hussain, uncovering this mechanism:

Happy to share our latest metabo-devo paper: rdcu.be/fc6YK.
#Drosophila larvae increase their body mass 200-fold in just 5 days. We show that endocrine signaling reprograms intestinal #metabolism to support this unbridled growth, with later consequences on adult fitness

Congratulations to Fox lab postdoc Archan Chakraborty @archan24 - he will be starting his own lab at @AUG_University this fall! Professor Chakraborty's lab will focus on polyploidy in the heart of flies and humans.

We did a thing with @UplandBrewCo, @BloomingtonBrew, @HeartworkBrewCo, @TheTapBtown, and the soon-to-be launched Towaki Brewing Company.

Happy to share my review with @TongBian @RobertoZoncu on mechanism of nutrient sensing by mTORC1, now available in @TrendsBiochem. We highlight the recent structural elucidations of the pathway. Hope it is as useful and enjoyable for you as it was for us! authors.elsevier.com/c/1mrsu_M0e49q…

Out today in @cellcellpress new work from the lab led by Abby Xie and @jules_stef asks, when and why do cells use the TCA cycle?

A new study (@MolecularCell) shows that lactate is more than a metabolic byproduct: it can directly activate the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) independently of its conversion to pyruvate. 🔬⚡ #Metabolism #Mitochondria

This is ridiculous. This is not the IU I joined 10 years ago.

IU previously directed the Indiana Daily Student to stop printing news coverage in our paper. Upon pushback, IU fully cut print, including our special editions. The IDS was not involved in the decision. Letter from the editors to come.

Not happy. Censorship isn’t the way.
I gave money to IU general fund for the IDS last year, so they could pay everyone and not run a deficit. I gave more than they asked for.
I told them I’m happy to help because the IDS is important to kids at IU

🚨New @biorxivpreprint: We model the splicing disease Verheij syndrome using C. elegans. Disruption of methionine and phospholipid metabolism drives growth defects; vitamin #B12 restores the balance and rescues development! #metabolism #RNAsplicing

I'm looking for PhD students to join the lab starting August 2026. We study the evolution of insect chemical signals combining evolutionary biology, chemical ecology, molecular biology, behavior, and genetics. More info here: tinyurl.com/mrxchwfm

FlyBase needs your help! We ask that European labs continue to contribute to Cambridge, UK FlyBase, whereas US and other non-European labs can contribute to US FlyBase. For more information and how to donate: wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBase:C…

In #G3journal, @RaiMadhulik, @TennessenLab, and colleagues generated new loss-of-function mutations in the #Drosophila D2hgdh gene to study D-2-hydroxyglutarate, a potent oncometabolite, function during development and disease.
